Aim of the game
A passive and peacful society established on Earth by the year
2086 has its idyllic existance shattered by an invasion of an alien
attack force. The populace are sent to work in the aliens' mines. Some
rebelled, but one stood out as the most hardy and courageous. Named
Tal, he was instructed by the elders to explore the land in search of
the legendary item which humans had worked so hard to perfect.
This item is, of course, the eponymous Sacred Armour - an anti-
radiation (Antiriad) suit which renders the wearer impervious to just
about any form of attack. As Tal your first objective is to find the
armour, and then somehow overthrow the alien regime.
Once you've managed to get hold of the armour, the next problem is to
seek out the various items which will make you even more magnificent -
anti-grav boots, particle negator, pulser beam and implosion mine are
the vital elements. The implosion mine is perhaps more important than
any of the other items. This is the object needed to destroy the
aliens' base.
Comments
"A pretty addition to any arcade adventure fan's
collection."

Now
Has definitely aged badly. The flaws in the graphics and
gameplay are, unfortunately, all too obvious now.
