'''''Sabre Wulf''''' is the first game in the [[Sabre Man]] series (followed by ''[[Underwurlde]]'', ''[[Knight Lore]]'' and ''[[Pentagram]]''), and the game which introduced [[Rare Ltd]]'s long-running Sabreman character (who's since appeared in many other Rare games). The game was published in 1984 by "[[Ultimate Play the Game]]" a.k.a. "[[Ashby Computers and Graphics]]", both of which [[Stealth Pun|ultimately]] proved to be trading styles of Rare. If the title character sounds familiar, you might have played [[Killer Instinct|another Rare-created series]] that featured [[Our Werewolves Are Different|a similar creature]].
There exists two different games carrying [[Recycled Title|the same name]]: the 1984 original, a [[ZX Spectrum]] [[Action Adventure]] starring Sabreman, a British explorer who finds himself trapped in a [[The Maze|deep labyrinth-esque jungle chasm]] and now must find his way out of it by [[Dismantled MacGuffin|finding 4 pieces of an amulet]]. However, on his path he'll have to fence against [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|jungle creeps of various sizes]], natives and the titular Sabre Wulf, an [[Implacable Man|implacable wolf]] who appears at times and is better dealt with by running away. Besides the amulet pieces, Sabreman can also collect different treasures for points and colored flowers that grant him temporary special abilities (increased speed, [[Invincibility Power-Up|invulnerability]]) or disadvantages ([[Interface Screw|inverted controls]]). The game got ported to a few other computers of the time, like the [[Commodore 64]] and [[Amstrad CPC]].
The [[Sabre Wulf (2004 video game)|second game]] was released in 2004 for the [[Game Boy Advance]], and works as a sequel to the first.
