Ah, Fate of Atlantis. As a kid, I used to bike to our local library to play it on the library computers - they had a surprisingly decent game selection.
It was either this or another Indy game where you could win any fight by pressing a specific key (causing Indy to instantly knock out the opponent.) I remember learning this trick from a random kid play the game at the same library.
I sometimes wonder if the streaming era has killed that kind of "serendipitous discovery" which was an important part of some of the more important childhood memories.
- amock 6y agoFate of Atlantis is the game where you could knock almost any opponent out with a specific key. Later in the game there's an enemy who says something like "that cheap American trick won't work on me" if you try it, so you have to find another way to defeat him.
- daniel-cussen 6y agoYeah but it did do him a lot of damage. I think you have to defeat him by "knocking him out" like five times.
- amock 6y agoThe one I remember had to be crushed by rolling a boulder over him since he couldn’t be defeated by fighting. It’s been a long time, though, and I only remember a few parts.
- waihtis 6y agoYeah. The problem using a shared computer was that any save you made was usually wiped out or overwritten the next time you went over, so I never progressed quite far with the game. Don't recall it mattering too much back then though.
- Razengan 6y agoLucasArt games gave you a ton (unlimited?) of nameable save slots though.
