The snapshot works fine, but I can't get the TZX to load. Is it faulty?
I quite like this game. It's fairly standard early 80s platforming fare (released in the late 80s), but it has so much personality that it stands out, to me at least. The combination of hypnotic beeper FX, disturbing sprites, trippy colours and so many moving platforms make the whole screen seem possessed.
It's fun to have a wander, but I'm not sure what the specific goal is—which bits are collectable, which are deadly etc. The magazine reviews shed a bit of light on this: it's the usual story of a faulty interstellar supermarket and the hackneyed task of gathering the scattered parts of your spaceship from it, but the magazine references hint at O2 topup areas and more.
It's funny reading the reviews, especially taking their context into account, it seems in 1986 people are tired of platform games:
If you're one of those cut-off-from-society people still playing JSW, then wake up because you might like this.
What are your thoughts?It's a pretty of strange game really, but then with a name like Myla Di'Kaich what did you expect?
