I don't remember playing for much more than a few minutes (maybe a couple of hours), and barely making any progress, but that intro and the initial escape got etched in my memory for all those years. The dramatic camera effects of this game were indeed out of this world for the time.
- the_af 3y agoThe game itself is barely a couple of hours. It's very, very short. I wonder, if the intro made such an impression on you, why didn't you finish it?
- 29athrowaway 3y agoI also didn't finish it. The game is hard and requires more patience than usual to figure it out.
- ekianjo 3y agoIt was on par with games at the time though.
- snvzz 3y agoDefinitely a short, and not hard at all, game. I beat it without difficulty when I was single-digit aged. It's absolutely worth it, and better late than never.
- recursive 3y agoMaybe you're just a good gamer. I was absolutely stumped.
- joshspankit 3y agoAs a general rule: Try not to take your subjective experience and imply that it’s either the universal experience or objectively true.
- recursive 3y agoI'm in the same boat. I could not figure out how to get past the second screen. But I still remember those few minutes very clearly these decades later.
- the_af 3y agoDo you mean how to get past the beast?
- recursive 3y agoI had some trouble with the slugs but I don't think I ever got past the lion.
- the_af 3y agoAh, yes. Hard to time the jumps over the slugs. It helps that the beast trips and falls just as it's about to catch you. After that, you get "saved by the bell", so to speak ;) I believe jumping over those slugs is possibly the hardest part of the whole game, it must be timed precisely and you're still learning to how to play. It's not a lion, by the way ;) It's an alien beast, without a mane and looks like a cross between a gorilla and some giant black panther.
