Solar Software is one of those software houses that
really takes me back to the early days of Commodore 64
gaming. I never really purchased any of their releases
back in the day because I was always a little suspect of
their tape inlays designs. I don't really know why I
felt that way because looking at them now, they look
quite decent - and retro!
Jungle Quest by Solar
Software is a playful arcade game with colourful
graphics, moderate sprites and some suspect tunes - 'By
the Rivers of Babylon' is one of them! I hadn't played
this game until Inge sent in the ending, and I must say,
it's actually fun to play! Okay - so it's old and past
it's sell by date, but there is something about it that
pulls me in and urges me to have just 'one more go'. As
well as being a fun game, it also has a surprisingly
good ending...
Yer man jumps into
the pot...
...and saves the day!
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
Inge is the King of game hacking, and he hacked his way
to the end :-)
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Strange one this because the last thing our hero seems
to do is jump into a boiling pot! I think it's supposed
to be that our hero save his maiden in distress by
pouncing one her - but it doesn't seem that way. Anyway,
when the final level is completed, we see a picture of
our two lovers placed within a heart-shape and the
ending message: "CONGRATULATIONS" is displayed,
along with the Cliff Richard tune, 'Congratulations'.
