Olli & Lissa: The Ghost of Shilmore Castle

About

Olli & Lissa: The Ghost of Shilmore Castle is a 8-bit platformer where you guide a ghost through a haunted manor to escape its walls. Play as a spectral figure navigating crumbling halls, solving environmental puzzles, and avoiding dangers like patrolling guards. The controls prioritize precise jumps and timing as you collect keys, unlock doors, and progress through increasingly tricky layouts. The game’s retro aesthetic and spooky atmosphere stand out, with pixel art that leans into eerie shadows and flickering lights. Released in 1986, it caters to old-school platforming fans looking for a challenge. Though its puzzles can be finicky, the sense of satisfaction from escaping a maze-like castle lingers. Available on Commodore 64 and similar systems, it’s a niche pick for those nostalgic for early 80s-style ghostly antics.
