Reviewed by Vinny Mainolfi
I was never a fan of software published by
Commodore, and the only thing I remember ever buying and
playing by them was International Soccer on cartridge.
Commodore didn't really publish great software, which I
found really strange as it was their machine this
software was being produced for!
For me, Jack Attack is
another of those lame Commodore titles that just didn't
cut the mustard. Maybe it's the sign of those times, but
I remember not being particularly impressed when I first
saw it. There is a Jack Attack fan-base out there
somewhere, but I won't be joining it...
Level 64 is finally
complete!
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
Gurt completed this using savestates and NO trainers!
Took him around 50 mins.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
You get an ending message that reads: "CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU HAVE FINISHED ALL 64 LEVELS. WE WIGGLE OUR ANTENNAE
IN SALUTE!" There is also a little red alien
wiggling his antennae.
COMMENTS:
- Gurt:
The
ending was pretty satisfying. Pretty good if you
consider its age!
- Vinny:
I really want to give this ending a very low score, but
I need to keep in mind that it was produced back in 1983
and so I have to give it some leeway...
- Kungfufurby:
This is an early-era C64 game, so I'll forgive that.
However, there are better endings than this. Take for
example Jumpman and Lady Tut. In Lady Tut's case, it's a
unique full-screen picture. In Jumpman's case, it's an
animated sequence, and I believe with a unique
background to go with it! Commodore didn't do any better
with Stop The Express, though between this game and Stop
The Express, Stop the Express has a better ending.
- Andy Vaisey:
I agree, other than one or two titles, Commodore published
software was generally pants, this included. The ending
is poor too. Yes the game is old, but other games this
age have at least managed something more then this
'Congratulations' rubbish...
- Andrew Fisher:
Bear in mind the limited memory of the cartridge -
having put in 64 level layouts, there probably wasn't
much left in the 8K/16K of ROM available.
Still, it's nice to see there is an ending screen, no
matter how simple.
I do like the game, and it's one that could get a new
legion of fans as it's available for the iPhone
emulator.
FINAL SAY: Static and boring.
G.E.
