The two castles are protected by powerful guardian creatures called ravenbees, while Castle Danube is also known to be inhabited by monsters. Many weird and wonderful experiences await you within these two eerie castles and their grounds!

You can choose to take the role of an adventurer, warrior, wizard or elf (with male and female versions of each character). The characters have their own special abilities. For example, the adventurer has map-making skills.

Save and load game positions at specific locations. The locations will only be found after extensive progress into the quest.

Create your own adventures using the Adventure Editor, Level Editor, and Tile Set Editor - for placing your own graphics into the game.

A specially designed scripting language, called RavenScript, allows you to design your own puzzles to build into your own complete adventures.

Ravenskull has been developed (programming, music, sound and graphics) by Darren Izzard, based upon an original theme by Martin Edmondson and Nick Chamberlain.

If you can complete either of the castle adventures, the Ravenskull Hall of Fame is ready online now for top players: preserving your character's health and using as few savepoints as possible may become vital.

On the full version of Ravenskull, there is a 15% discount available to the end of December when you enter your Superior Interactive Registration / Discount Code in the website's online shopping system.

The basic price with 15% discount is $16.95, and you can also pay in British pounds, Euros, Canadian dollars, or yen. The current discounted price works out at less than £9.95 in sterling.

Many games players are fans of adventure games. These games allow you to immerse yourself into a fantasy world, where you have to figure out the best routes to take, which objects to collect and use, how to get past the creatures you meet, and whether some of them may be able to help you. A free trial version of Ravenskull is available from the Superior Interactive website.

Please feel free to pass on the trial versions of our software or place them on your website. We have also updated the webpage of Superior Interactive Banners to include Ravenskull and Galaforce Worlds banners, as well as the Repton 1 banners.

Frazer Middleton has become the first person to enter into the Repton 1 Hall of Fame, and he has kindly added a banner and links to Superior Interactive in the 20 December entry in Frazer's blog (web log). Congratulations to Frazer on completing the Starter Scenario of Repton 1!

Tim Gladding was the first person to buy Galaforce Worlds, and he was one of the first people to buy Repton 1 as well. Tim emailed us soon after buying Galaforce Worlds with these words (quoted with his permission): "I *love* this game! Once I received the newsletter saying it was available it must have taken me all of 30 seconds to download and start playing this game. I also downloaded Repton 1 as soon as it was available. I can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had playing Repton 1 these past few days... the only downside is that I'm going to have to sleep eventually! :-)"

We hope you all enjoy Repton 1, Galaforce Worlds and Ravenskull. We are already getting requests for new Repton 1 levels, and you have started to send us some of your own level designs. For those of you who haven't tried the games' editors yet, please give them a whirl - I imagine we are going to receive many new level designs created during the seasonal break.

Thank you very much for your continued support and interest in our software, and we would like to take this opportunity to give you our best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
