Las Tres Luces De Glaurung is a nice spanish game, retitled "Conquestador" and published by Melbourne House in Britain, during 1986.
It can be described as a mix between Ultimate's Atic Atac and Underwurlde: it possesses the playability of the first, its fast pace (in part) and the kind of maze and view, colorful and well drawn, of the latter.
The goal is to find three amulets and then reach one of the exits of the castle, killing or avoiding knights, vikings and spiders shooting fireballs, jumping from platform to platform, or "walking in the air" to reach them - which is a peculiar feature of this game (but after some paces you'll start to fall) - and opening the chests that you'll find on the way, which will give you an useful object (arrows, for example), turn you into a strange, clumsy creature for a while, a sort of rampant pig, or free a hidden enemy.
Conquestador was received in a strange way by the english magazines: Sinclair User considered it trash, Crash wrote that it was average, Your Sinclair appointed it Megagame.
I agree with the latter.
