Fiona Rides Out/Dare Devil Dennis

Fiona Rides Out and Dare Devil Dennis is a two-game deal on one tape at a nice price.

Fiona is the better game with good quality animated graphics, twelve levels of increasing difficulty and frequent trips to hell.

Foul Fiona is a wicked witch who has had her power taken away by other witches. Your job is to help her regain her powers.

To do that, Fiona must shoot down her spell ingredients, pick them up and put them in a cauldron until one of her tools appears above it.

If, however, Fiona's energy falls below zero she is sent to hell. If she escapes, she regains a life. But if she touches the burning rocks or demons, Fiona is reincarnated into the living world - but this can only happen five times.

The second game is Dare Devil Dennis, a movie stuntman who has to tackle the worst motorcycle stunt of his life - more than eighty different levels.

The game has a strange beginning where Dennis is seen walking across the studio set. As he goes, he must leap over flowers and up into the air to capture escaped balloons for bonus. Just quite why is not explained. Still, strange things happen in the world of films.
