Play Death Trap Amiga Online

Death Trap came out on the Amiga in 1990 from Anco Software. It was one of those many action platformers of the era that focused on methodical exploration and careful movement rather than pure speed. You spend your time moving through a large, interconnected castle, room by room, figuring out how to get deeper inside.

You control a knight tasked with clearing the castle of its monstrous inhabitants. Your main goal is to fight through five floors, defeating a boss on each one. The gameplay involves careful jumping over instant-death traps like spikes and pits, using a sword for close combat, and collecting flasks that grant temporary magical powers like invincibility or fireballs. You also pull levers to open new paths, which adds a light puzzle element to the navigation. The pace is deliberate, and the difficulty is punishing; a single mistimed jump sends you back to the start of the floor. Playing it feels like a tense, cautious crawl through a hostile and cleverly designed space.
