Baal (video game)
Baal is a platform-based shoot 'em up video game from 1988, published by Psygnosis. The player takes on the role of a "Time Warrior" sent into the recesses of hell to recover pieces of "The War Machine", which has been stolen by the evil minion Baal.
On the Amiga, the power indicator light flashed in time with the soundtrack.
The PC version was ported by Tim Ansell of The Creative Assembly.Reception
Baal didn't receive critical or commercial success. Some criticised slow loading times.
While Baal does feature Psygnosis's trademark macabre mood, it is unusual among that company's games in foregoing their usual psychedelic Roger Dean cover artwork. Instead, the cover artwork was created by Melvyn Grant.
