It’s a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling “action” game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.
Isn’t that because the arrow key layout on the Apple II/GS was, like many 8 bit home computers, famously awful and also batshit insane?
IBM had the lock on the inverted T layout for a long time, and others had to find creative ways to follow suit.
Why is this game everywhere all of a sudden? Article in Retro Gamer, YouTube videos, Lemmy posts… Did it have an anniversary recently or something?
No idea, I stumbled upon it today while looking for something unrelated (a list of platofmer/action games released for PCs in the 80s)
This game was really tough! Possibly because I was like 5 at the time…
Same
I loved it, but i was like 6 and didn’t really understand it. I never made it very far.
I believe the AVGN was right in calling it a fucking piece of shit, because it looks like it’d be too asinine even for adults
Haven’t played it, eh?
I had the displeasure of playing the mega drive version many years ago
Look at this old shit game hahaha
Wait, I recognize that wall with the mace on it(I loved this game as a kid despite not ever really understanding how to play it)
I’m glad there are still other DC fans out there. I love the game but it’s so tough. I swear I’ll finish it one of these decades.
I used edsf and hate that wasd became the standard. Bah.
