The gameplay is extremely fast paced and the squelchy sound fx give a far more manic feel than the sedate and methodical manic miner.<br /><br />I also completed the game up to the level where the duck is let loose out of the cage and then it started to get really tough.<br /><br />I really like the ability to jump onto ladders even in the middle and the fact that height didn't kill you in the game (but the void below did). <br /><br />The collision detection was a bit unforgiving and the attribute clash did cause a few issues at the time, but I always preferred a colourful game with attribute game rather than a monochrome game without.<br /><br />The joy of this game is just in the playing of it. It's hard to describe really. It does look terribly terribly dated but the gameplay remains unique to this day and that is why it has and will continue to stand the test of time.<br /><br />I played Chuckie Egg 2 a few times but never really felt it lived up to its predecessor. The screens were too bland and the pace was much slower. The graphics were technically better but these days, a speccy game with great graphics looks very much the same as a Speccy game with average graphics in the face of modern graphics so gameplay, quite rightly is king.<br /><br />Incidently, if you are looking for modern equivilents of pre-1986 Speccy games and have an iPhone, I highly recommend games by 'Donut Games'. They have the gameplay conventions of the early 80s games with graphics of early 90s Amiga games.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802012451865027236noreply@blogger.com
