And concerning the unfair challenges, I think that an otherwise great game with a very unfair challenge is "Monty on the Run". I may be
wrong, but as far as I remember from my gaming days on a real
Spectrum (Timex, actually) over 20 years ago, I used to reach a spot beyond which I could never progress. I have always had a strong
suspicion that this was because at the start of the game I didn't
choose the right items as Monty's equipment. Am I right in thinking
that in "Monty on the Run" the initial choice of the artefacts
affects the progress well into the game?

Yes. Only one possible combination of equipment will let you win, so
the chances of guessing it correctly before you've played far into
the game and seen the related hazards are practically zero.

Eq.
