I hadn't seen this game ending for a few years and it wasn't until someone mentioned it on a C64 forum that I thought I should add it to the site - it's been in the offline archive for AGES!

So was it worth the long wait? ...

Press the FIRE BUTTON to initiate launch sequence; 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...

... 2 ...

... 1 ...

... BLAST OFF! ...

"We have lift off"

Man and beast in total harmony

THE END

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: An opening screen asks you whether you would like to BEGIN THE SHUTTLE SEQUENCE or RELOAD the game. Pressing the fire button takes you straight to the shuttle launch pad, which gives you a panning-down shot of the shuttle as it takes off. The scene then cuts to a panoramic shot of the shuttle taking flight. Watching close by is our hero and his faithful companion as they wave farewell from a cliff top. The end.

The ending is accompanied by a nice tune by Neil Crossley.

COMMENTS:

• Vinny: I had forgotten how cool this ending was. It's another example of the programmers thinking the storyline through to a satisfactory end. It really does feel like you have completed the game and that the story has a close.

FINAL SAY: Praise-be to the programming team (",)

G.E. RATING: 10 / 10
