• Completed & Reviwed by Rio Baan
Webmaster: Thanks to Rio Baan for sending in this game ending to what was perceived to be a great game - I personally found it boring and very tedious due to the game's lack of speed.

Well I wasn't going to play through the game to complete it, but Rio seemed to have the drive and determination for it ...

The final sequence ...

... takes you back ...

... through the past ...

... areas that you ...

... will have visited ...

... when playing through ...

... the whole of ...

... the game.

The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED? RIO: "by patching together a bunch of incomplete and erroneous Spectrum game hints into a coherent and tested Commodore 64 walkthrough, No cheats necessary, unless we are going to start calling "save states" cheats, because I used heaps!"

SO WHAT HAPPENS? RIO: "You place the 18th and final drilling rig in the Trachyte sector. There is a dramatic pause before you are shown a slideshow of scenes from parts of the moon you have already visited.(from Obsidian, Malachite, Aquamarine, Beryl, Stores, Basalt, and Alabaster - in that order).

After that you are unceremoniously dumped out to the oh-so-familiar END screen, except that you are told TASK COMPLETED 18 CLEARED"

COMMENTS FROM RIO: "The Freescape games have a reputation for crappy end sequences, and Driller is no exception. The end sequence might have been better if I got to see something other than places I had already seen a million times while playing the game."

FINAL SAY FROM RIO :  "I wasted well over five hours writing a walkthrough while playing this game to the end, just to see this! Was it worth it? Ahem..."

RIO'S G.E. RATING: 2 / 10
