Zorro is a puzzle-platform adventure originally developed by Datasoft in 1985 and published on the Amstrad CPC by U.S. Gold, then reissued as a budget edition by Americana Software in 1986. Players assume the role of the masked hero Zorro, who must navigate 20 intricately designed screens—ranging from rooftops and catacombs to fortresses—to rescue his beloved from the clutches of Sergeant Garcia. Gameplay combines precise platforming with puzzle-solving, such as collecting tools, heating a branding iron, and using it to mark a bull. The game stands out for its balanced mix of action and brain-teasers, slower-paced than similar titles but rich in clever level design.
