A bit of an interesting entry this time, and a game which had some brief involvement from Jon Hare in his pre-Sensible days doing graphics in various bit parts for games.
Lone Wolf seems to be part of a series based on Role playing books that had a greater release rate on the ZX Spectrum. There were two initial games back in 1984 based on the books that were called "Lone Wolf - Flight from the Dark" and "Lone Wolf - Fire on the Water". These were both graphic adventure games. But then in 1991, Audiogenic released a tied in game called "Lone Wolf - The Mirror of Death". Ice Halls of Terror was second part of a series based upon "Lone Wolf" gamebooks that was never published" ... http://quattrobit.blogspot.com/2011/11/intervista-alla-sensible-software.html
What is very odd is that the early adventures are deemed as the first two parts of the game - Jon Hare suggested that Lone Wolf In The Ice Halls of Terror was the second part of a series that never saw the light of day on the C64.
Certainly the other Lone Wolf games (Apart from the Audiogenic release) never saw the light of day.
So really we are dealing with two potential GTW's here, and not just this game. There is a prequel very likely that will need an entry adding at somepoint in the future. However, check out the scan thanks to Peter Weighill for obtaining, which confirms the game and publisher.
We don't know much more than this, so now its over to you.
Do you know anything more?...
Frank and Andrew.
