Mastertronic's MJ hit on the C64

Rather than doing what lots of games sites have done and reviewing MJ's Moonwalker Megadrive/Genesis game, I thought I would do something a little different as my own little tribute to Wacko Jacko...

Back in 85 Mastertronic released 'Chiller' for the C64. Obviously based on the Michael Jackson Thriller video and featuring a distinctly 'Thrillerish' soundtrack the game had you leaping about a forest, a cinema, a ghetto and a few other creepy levels collecting crosses and mushrooms (?) while avoiding spiders, ghosts and zombies.

It was a simple but fun game with some loose collision detection and jump mapped to up, not fire. However like most of the Mastertronic range it was well worth the pocket money asking price of £1.99 and provided a cheap alternative to Manic Miner/Blagger from where it clearly took it's inspiration.
