Here's an ending that I wasn't really looking for; I
started looking through the game's code to create one of
my Hackersoft crazy hacks (see
www.hackersoft.co.uk) when I created a level-skip
cheat that took me through the whole game and to the
ending. Result!
A sequel to Velocipede -
which incidentally had no ending - this game follows the
same theme of riding through scrolling levels and
dodging nasties, but in this game the main character
rides on a unicycle. I love these old Player's games and
so this is my kind of game. So what of the ending...
The final level is
complete...
and our hero is off
to sort out his squished knackers.
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
As I said - I hacked this one whilst building a crazy
hack.
Just an additional note:
It seems that the game is controlled by BASIC! I too a
look at the listing and I found this (see screenshot
below) at the end. Looks like it's the high score entry
controller that changes a name if you type a specific
name in...
High score name
replacements.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once you have completed the third level, the ending
screen appears with the message: "REMARKABLE!! YOU
MADE IT ALL THE WAY HOME! AS A BONUS YOU NOW RECEIVE
10000 POINTS. PRESS BUTTON TO START ALL OVER AGAIN".
This is accompanied by a row of 'gulping' frogs and also
an ending tune.
