Revenge of the Mutant Camels is a shoot-em-up by
Llamasoft, created by legendary C64 fruitcake Jeff
Minter. We all know that Jeff is a bit on the 'mental'
side, and I was always confused as to why a guy, who was
obsessed with camels and llamas, had so much attention
back in the 80's. The answer is because he did know how
to put a good shoot-em-up together. I never really gave
his games the time of day, but they are pretty good if
you are willing to give them a chance.
The game is a
straight forward shoot-em-up where you control a camel -
who were the enemies in the original game. You have to
travel a certain distance to complete a level, while
battling the hordes of ridiculous enemies that attack
you on your journey. It's quite a challenge, but not
impossible. The graphics are ok, and the use of colour
and sound is good. It plays fairly smoothly and can be a
lot of fun if you don't take your gaming too
seriously...
Level 6 is finally
complete!
Level 6 is finally
complete!
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I used a level skip cheat.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
After the final wave is beaten, a message pops up on the
screen which reads 'WELL DONE. YOU HAVE SAVED CAMELKIND!'.
Your camel is seen walking along the bottom of the
screen as the message appears. The game then loops back
to the start.
