I'm a big fan of Hannes Sommer's games such as
Heavenbound, Lions of the Universe and Super Nibbly; and
Fred's Back - the first game in a series of four - is
another one of those quality titles.
Set in
a colourful world of platforms and sprites, Fred's Back
is a delightful romp that is easy on the eyes and ears.
With it's cool handling and smooth graphics, this game
is certainly a refreshing change from the platformers of
old. It's just unfortunate that it was released at the
end of the Commodore 64's commercial life. That aside,
let's have a look at the ending...
Fred has reached the
end of his quests.
HOLD ON A SEC! I've
just realised that Fred has no clothes on!
Do you think he's a
naturist?
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
Gaz didn't let me know how he completed this, but I
checked out the ending file and it looks like there is a
cheat active (infinite lives and C= key to skip levels).
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once Fred reaches the end, the screen starts to scroll
to the left, an ending tune kicks in, and the ending
message reads: "FAB FRED! YOU SOLVED THIS ADVENTURE!
...HAVE A LOOK OUT FOR FRED'S BACK II COMING SOON! JESUS
REIGNS!"
