GAMING THROUGH HISTORY
- Jaz Rignall: Playing video games since 1978. Writing about them since 1984 -

Elite’s continuing series of classic 8-bit micro iOS re-releases turns up trumps again - this time around, it’s the brilliant isometric action adventure Head over Heels getting a new lease of life. I’ve just been playing it, and it’s a great trip down memory lane. Of course, it’s rock hard like most games of the era, but Elite has put in an insta-save option that makes the game’s challenging jumps and harsh deaths much easier to deal with. Save early! Save often.
If you don’t have an iPad or iPhone, you can play the game for free on Mac, PC and Linux thanks to this absolutely fantastic free remake available here.
