Not reviewed. Be the first one to review it!
re here) is a brilliant game. Loads of depth, with so much to do and tons of reply value. I spent hours just playing with grenades!
I love this game so far, although it is very confusing. Not a game you can just pick up and play, and one that forces you to sit at a desk due to all the keyboard use.
10/10 for graphics and presentation. 7/10 for gameplay.
I'm sure everyone already knows this but you can grab a full working version here: noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=82430
I loved finding new ways to 'dispatch' those pesky frogs!!!
Unbelievably big and the phsyics are easily on par with modern games.
An 8bit wonder, MUST try this or the Amiga version at least once.
But still my favourite game on the C64.
The world in this game is HUGE, I’ve completed it 20 odd times on the C64 and downloaded the Amiga emulator just so I could play it on that as well.
Be warned that nearly all copies apart from the original will not work properly, it has some intelligent game copy protection that removes needed objects within the game if it senses its not the original. I’m yet to find a proper cracked version that works.
Never completed it even though I played it every day for years! So easy to get carried away in the game, there's always something new to try out. The physics in the game are almost lifelike, the gameplay seems strange at first but once you realise it's not like ANY other game it all makes sense. This game has it all. My only regret is selling it along with my C64 many years ago! The emulator version has a few graphical glitches but plays ok.
10/10

Very deep.
It's exploring, it's freedom, it's cute, it's mushrooms and monkeys, and ofcourse fluffy!
Hard, but satisfying when you get a bit further, it compells you to go on and on, you just want to beat the game (I'm still trying). It's much underrated. I rate it 10/10 (on whatever platform I guess). Even Edge magazine wrote an article about it. A timeless classic! You don't want to miss it.
