BIO
Having honed their isometric skills on Head Over Heels’ progenitor, Batman, Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond (who sadly recently passed away) collaborated a year later to create what many regard as the absolute pinnacle of the genre. Starring two cute characters, the eponymous Head and Heels, the game’s unique selling point is the extremely clever way that each character negotiates its way around the world, with a combination of the two required to solve many more screens. With its incredibly offbeat graphics – who can forget the Prince Charles Dalek, fashioned originally as The Bash Street Kids’ Plug – and complex, labyrinthine map, Head Over Heels quickly became a standard bearer for the isometric arcade adventure.
