I'd never heard of this game until Brendan sent in
the ending. It's a cool game with some crisp graphics
and cracking tunes. The only downside to the game is the
playing area: it's far too small! Why on earth did the
programmers choose to produce such a cool game and then
make the playing area minute? Anyway, does a cool game
equate to a cool ending?...
Happy-clappy hands.
Cute little alien.
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I think Brendan used a cracked version that allowed him
to view the ending right from the start :) That's the
version I have too.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once the final level is cleared, the ending sequence
kicks in with a cool animated sequence and a great
epilogue. This is accompanied by an ending tune. I wont
say any more than that as I want you to view the ending
itself :)
COMMENTS:
- Brendan: A game
I have NEVER heard of - but boy what an ending. This is
Slick with a capital S - just to the way the wording
bounces down and the pics appear and disappear is class.
The animation and scrolling in the little pics is ace as
well as the game ending tune. The final pic of you
waving on a hammock between two palm trees is ace - one
leg hanging over! This is simply a great C64 ending.
A Gold Medal Vinny? This is very close to call in my
opinion. For me - a solid 9 - with a strong smell of
gold if you think it is worthy?????
It's a great ending and I like that the end sequence is in keeping with the brilliant introduction as well. Great that they put the same amount of effort into the ending as they did with the intro.
Also that it is not such a well known game but has a brilliant ending, as quite a few of the less well known ones have!
- Vinny: Brendan
is so right - this really is a slick ending and probably
JUST misses out on a Gold
Medal award. It really does have great graphics,
animation and music, but it's quite a quick ending. A
solid 9 from me too. A great find by Brendan.
- Kungfufurby:
Nice ending! It's got some animation, and the ending
storyline seems to reflect the end of a long (or short
in this case) battle. I see a CNN logo in the top left
corner when the ending starts... interesting choice.
It's quite funny that the alien gets hooked on the man
taking a vacation, I'll admit... It appears that there's
an S missing from congratulations, which means it
displays, "Congratulation".
- Andy Vaisey:
Never heard of this game. Was it full price or budget?
At full price I would have avoided, but on budget, I may
have been tempted. The reason I say that is because,
while the graphics are colourful (if not realistic) and
the music cheerful (if not particularly suited), the
levels seem short in between loads and the movement of
the main ship doesn't feel 'right'. At least not to me.
Perhaps a little more inertia? As a budget shooter,
while not being quite up there with the best of them, it
could have provided a couple of hours of entertainment.
Anyway, the ending is quite nice! Good to see the team
actually putting in some effort to produce something
more gratifying than a simple congrats type message.
Half decent GFX and some tidy tunes equal satisfaction
in my book!
FINAL SAY: We are VERY impressed!
