Elidon is a 1985 action game developed and published by Orpheus for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and MSX computers.
Elidon is a flip-screen (or flick-screen) platform game. The player controls a flying Faerie using the keyboard or joystick. When the Faerie reaches the edge of the current screen, it will 'flip' to the next screen, a common technique in 1980s home computers.[2]
The player must avoid the nasties and obstacles which drain the Faerie's energy. A wand can be used to remove the nasties. The Faerie can only hold three collectables at a time.[3]
