Yeah, yeah - I know! Of all the game endings that are in the OFFLINE ARCHIVE, I had to choose this ending to reveal to the C64 Gaming  Freaks. I know it's a very basic game, and I know that the graphics and sound aren't anything to shout about, but there was something about this game that made me want to play through it until the end.

To be honest, I'm intrigued by the way this game has been constructed, and I have always thought that if I was ever to produce a C64 adventure game, then it would end up looking exactly like the Daryll Reynolds adventure games. In other words, my games would be good and bad at the same time.

I first owned and played this game back in 1984 when I purchased the original from our local game store. I kind of knew that it was going to be cack, but I still purchased and play it until my eyelids dried up. Twenty five years on, I decided to hunt out the solution and play through the entire game for the ending. Unfortunately, the game makes no sense whatsoever and it's virtually impossible to suss out any of the 'puzzles' without the solution!

Enough babble - here's the ending.

Nearly there!

The final leap...

...the lights go out...

...The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?: I used a solution and went wrong a few times and had to restart the game. When I did finally complete it, I forgot to save the ending and had to play it again! Four times it took me to get this flippin' ending :-/

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: Once you make the final leap, lightening strikes, and an ending message appears, which reads: "WELL I'M GLAD THAT'S ALL OVER! NOW WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? AFRICA MAYBE --- THAT BOOK I READ.. 'THE SEARCH FOR KING SOLOMONS MINES' HHMMMMM VERY INTERESTING."

FINAL SAY: The strange thing is, I think you should check out the game!

G.E. RATING: 3 / 10
