• Completed by Stephen Renehan (AKA Retrovertigo)

You'd think that with all the game endings I have seen over the years, there really aren't going to be an more endings that will impresses me. Frankenstein by Zepplin Software is an exception to this rule and certainly impressed me when Stephen Renehan (AKA Retrovertigo) kindly sent it in for all to see. Even after owning the original since the day it was released, I have never managed to complete it. Over to Brendan ...

STEPHEN: "Have another one for you here, it's Frankenstein by Zepplin games. Never played this before and it's actually not a bad little game (although I did cheat) and I was quite pleasantly surprised by the ending which is one of the better ones I've seen in a while."

Egor and the Doctor enter the lab.

It's time for the Doc to complete his experiment.

He praises Egor.

And sends him on his way.

"FREEDOM AT LAST!"

Egor leaves.

The dead corpse rises to the rafters.

A flash of lightening!

The monster is visible.

The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED? BRENDAN: As Stephen said, no cheats.

SO WHAT HAPPENS? : The final sequence sees Egor and Dr. Frankenstein back in the laboratory. Dr. Frankenstein speaks to Egor and tells him that he has done well. For a reward, Egor is set free to live life as he wishes. Egor leaves Dr. Frankenstein to continue with his experiment, which ends in the creation of his monster. For some reason though, and this is where the humour comes into it, the monster thumbs up (",)

COMMENTS: I truly am impress with this game endings - especially after only paying £2.99 for the original. The programmers have definitely thought through this game right to the end. It has animation, nice graphics, and a story ending - with a little bit of humour thrown in. The only thing that is really missing from this game ending is an ending tune.

FINAL SAY: Seriously worth a couple of viewings (",)

G.E. RATING: 8 / 10
