Terrormolinos is a text adventure released by Melbourne House in 1985 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro and Acorn Electron, all retailing for £7.95.

The game revolves around surviving a package holiday to the Spanish resort of Terrormolinos (a play on Torremolinos) and bringing back home ten snapshots. You play the husband and you go away with your wife Beryl, and two kids, Ken and Doreen.

The magazine adverts for the game said, "Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Have A Holiday ...", referencing the famous tagline from Jaws 2.

It was reviewed in Crash issue 23 - 9/10 a Crash Smash.

The game was written with a modified version of The Quill.
