Head over Heels /PC ***

Hello and welcome to the comfy, cosy, rose-tinted, warm, fuzzy and nostalgic home of Retrospec's latest (at the time of writing) remake: Head Over Heels.

Now, most of you are probably familiar with the game as it's regarded by most people as one of the single finest games ever to appear on the Spectrum. It combined everything that was lovely about Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond's last game (Batman) with a much bigger map and an incredibly innovative two-protagonist approach which allows for many more puzzles. If you're not familiar with it, then I'm somewhat curious how you stumbled into this webpage, but seeing as you're here I'll give you a history lesson...

A critical bug was found in the LINUX port of the game so we issued a patch and an updated version (1.01) is available for all you Linux users out there. Go to downloads and download the patch only if you already downloaded the previous version, otherwise a full 1.01 version is also available for download.

Update 18.dec.2003
