Play Black Lamp Online

Black Lamp came out in 1988 for the Amiga, published by Firebird and Rainbird. It was one of those games that felt right at home on the platform, blending exploration and action in a way that was common at the time but still had its own flavor. You moved through a series of interconnected screens, both indoors and out, with a clear goal but plenty of freedom in how you approached it.

You control a character tasked with collecting a series of lamps scattered across the game's world. The gameplay involves navigating room by room, climbing ladders, opening doors, and dealing with enemies using a simple shooting mechanic. The pacing is deliberate; you need to watch your step and plan your route, as the levels are filled with hazards and foes. It feels methodical and tense, especially when you're low on health or trying to remember which paths you've already taken. Playing it gives you that satisfying mix of cautious exploration and quick reaction.
