The Evil Dead is an adventure game produced by Palace Software for the Commodore 64. A version was also written for the ZX Spectrum but this was never released on its own and eventually appeared free with the Spectrum version of Cauldron. It was the first in a series of Evil Dead themed video games on various platforms.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is set at the infamous cabin from the Evil Dead film. You play the film's hero, Ash, and must close cabin windows to prevent monsters from entering, while also killing monsters that are already in the cabin.
As you defeat monsters with various weapons (shovels, shotguns, and axes), your energy level decreases. You must continuously pick up new weapons in order to increase your energy. Once you have defeated all monsters, you must obtain the The Book of the Dead and destroy it in order to defeat evil.
