I played it on release date for Amstrad 464 CPC. I may have been 11 or 12 yo. Still have the box and the tape.
It was the first game that prompted me to draw maps and write down codes to be able to progress. All the teleport system gave me a feeling of none linearity that deeply shacked my thought process. It is indeed a fond memory, and of the probably hundreds of games I played since then, it remains one of the keystones of my gaming memories.

Devil DiceDevil Dice is a unique puzzle game, where the player controls a small devil that runs around a grid covered in large dice. The player can both stand atop dice, and stand on the ground (with the dice towering above). When standing on the dice, the player can move from die to die, or can roll a die in the direction he or she runs, revealing a different face as the die rotates. Creating a group of adjacent dice with identical pips—the size of which must be at least the number of pips—causes those dice to slowly sink into the field before disappearing. Chain reactions are possible by adding additional dice to a sinking set. Different types of dice are available in some modes, with different properties to make the game more challenging.
It was originally created by developer Shift on the "homebrew" Yaroze platform, and later turned into a commercial game.

The game is a million-seller and a demo version was released as a PlayStation Classic game for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable on November 7, 2007.
