It was my favorite game of my childhood, but I don't think I have cleared this game to this day. One day I will. I'm not sure why exactly I loved it - it was probably all the action in this game, because I definitely didn't know the puzzles. The experimenting with all the levers and discovering different path was also really cool
The PC DOS (1991) version of this game was the first port I played - ah memories! A great game that has everything you need: cool graphics, neat soundtrack and gameplay that is challenging without being too hard so that you keep coming back to play it. Once you got used to the janky inventory system (you don't just pick up an item and that's it, you have to pick it up and then move the selected item slot highlight to a blank one, otherwise the object you pick up will drop back onto the floor immediately) you were away. Great graphics, playability and presentation make for another Bitmap Bros classic well worth your time. I am surprised this game hasn't had more votes as it is easily on par with their best game, The Chaos Engine. Anyway, if GOG do add it to their roster one day (PLEASE!) it doesn't take much to get it working in DosBox. Either that, or they could somehow wrangle getting the GODS Remastered version by Robot Riot onto GOG? It is no longer available on Steam.
After Remastered was delisted on Steam, I wondered if Robot Riot's remake would be more at home on GOG alongside other Bitmap Brothers classics like Chaos Engine. Moreover, I was surprised even the original wasn't on here to begin with. This game has become increasingly difficult to play in current day without owning a physical copy, and for as brutally difficult as it can get, it definitely deserves to be experienced.
That being said, the delisting of Remastered is due to licensing agreements, so this might be more complicated, but still. It's a rough as nails classic.
Enjoyed playing this game back in the early 90's. The emulated (Mega-Drive) version is way too fast paced which makes it harder to play. They had brought out a remastered version of this on steam at least a year ago but it's now been de-listed, to be released on other platforms and mobile. Proof why we need ports to be preserved on GOG, even when re-releases aren't even safe anymore.
