Thing on a Spring is probably my number one fave C64 game of all time. So what happened to the sequel? It's so unplayable and impossible to play - not to mention that Thing looks completely different and resembles a circus clown. I purchased the original of this game when it first came back, and after playing it once, I would only ever load it up to play Ben's cool music :) So is the ending any good ...

The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?: Inge is a genius when it comes to cracking those impossible endings :)

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: Nothing apart from an ending screen that says: "WELL DONE! FROM JASON AND MARK. YOU HAVE COMPLETED THING BOUNCES BACK." There is also a little ending ditty from Ben Daglish.

COMMENTS: Considering that Thing on a Spring was such a great game and had a fitting ending, this game just totally fails and lets the Gremlin Graphics team down. They could have used a better ending tune from Ben :(

Thinking about it, what made the Thing on a Spring ending so cool was they way you killed the evil boss and also the way he dies. Maybe we've missed a trick here and maybe we are missing part of the ending. I doubt we will ever find out due to the fact that the game is SO hard and unplayable.

FINAL SAY: A total letdown.

G.E. RATING: 2 / 10
