Sparkster, (better known as the Rocket Knight) is one of Konami's attempts to impose a mascot. The character returns with a game whose gameplay old school seems to have been preserved, while rubbing graphics and visual effects of the newest. Good news for retrogamers a priori.
My reaction? Take the test Penguin Advenutre ...
do because he has everything to be religious but ultimately, I think we talked about very little ...
Doing this also as a result of Antarctic adventure is for me unique is my game Old school, preferred.
Also in response to the return of this false mascot "Sparkster" I write to that ici.Plutôt Pentaro shadow of the latter would, in effect, cede the place! So we can enjoy a remake of Penguin Adventure? And why not!
Sega mascot Sonic (I personally dislike).. Nintendo's famous Mario (The Jump Man to Donkey Kong, what!). Konami took a long time, emblem, Pentaro, the character of this game ... Penguin adventure.
Konami's historic emblem, is opposed him. The many appearances of the character in other securities of the firm may testify (The Parodius series, his tennis precursor or the gamemaster (a sort of Action Replay)).. Communication on the mark in the years 80 and the many fan sites devoted the MSX computer also shown!
How is it that one of the largest development and publishing of video games, a pioneer in the yoke (creator Scramble, Frogger, Castlevania and Gradius in the early 80) and one of the five largest videogame company today has it been to principal representative that penguin?
Because the character was becoming the symbol of the MSX computer? (First support just after the arch on which the firm made its first masterpieces ? It is indeed, one of the reasons.).
There are other more indirect: the presence in the credits for his first game as an assistant director of Hideo Kojima. His presence has certainly contributed to the astounding quality of this app (the word is strong? I agree. The game also!).
reminder, Kojima will create the following year, Metal Gear, on the same platform (On and before the MSX Nes, let this be! This clarification is intended for younger readers, who are approaching soon thirties! Forgive me if I repeat myself.).
Today, Metal Gear is one of the best seller of the company is simply one of the timeless icons of gaming. Here, I'll let you make the connection ... allowing me to think, in passing, that does not become a genius in one year, it already is ... for this case, I add the expression "a Unusually "... well, if in fact. Go
, without further ado, the extra soul that is found in older (game & designer) and which is precisely the trick from Penguin and adventure of this iconic figure now, I'll try to make you feel ... attention ...
This game is alive!
The music and other audio sounds that accompany you from the title screen and then throughout the 24 levels to pass through are how to say ... like writing with a trumpet? Not easy!
The best is also to listen to some excerpts ... (cf.le link to the end.)
The goal is to arrive on time (This is a timed game) to rescue his beloved, lost all alone over there on the ice (see the title screen, above .)... it's not beautiful? "
bonuses and other items will help achieve this goal. But above all secret passages (the famous "Warp"!).
Hidden in the many crevices along the way, the experience you will find them. I advise you to make this a priority.
These can allow you to arrive more easily at the end of the course and especially in time! (Something quite hard to do without, we are in 1986!). To encourage this, I give you first crack where the first pass ... Stage 1, at 237 meters => Stage 6 (I can provide others upon request, especially for those the bottom that will not listen, là_bas!).
The gameplay is just unimaginable and tables are customizable. Try to play one quarter of an hour and twenty minutes is literally becoming addicted to a game that is a slap to most others!
That said the game is fun, not aggressive penguin!
Ice, cave, a river with logs floating toward you ... ! Warning! We jump there! Sent following a great feeling ... it floats in the air for a moment, you float, you float and then splash! (I love that sound effect) in the water again. It continues, this advance. The race resumed. We think of car games, faux 3D, the time (1986) with passages in the air, gun in hand at the Space Harrier finally but ... penguin! Was this mean to allude to kriss kross and "Jump, Jump" they were both there? ... To bring out the sensation, and we remember the time ? Knew some would say anachronistic been ... the title was released in 1992! However, the group has ah-him was in full swing and ... Okay, okay, do not add any in this case;)
There is also an underwater stage and a second which we flew in space, a bonus stage that allows recurring nab gold fish (= extra lives).. The music is so enchanting, that water is just unforgettable.
Items can float in the air (the hat with the propeller) to run faster (with the shoes will be really fast and it feels good it is a race!), protections are dedicated to specific types of attackers (sea urchin to the seagull). The revolver is very useful to kill the boss dinosaur "that returns all three courses.
To jump twice as high as you find the right thing. While a bell will help you identify the famous secret passages (of which I spoke a little higher). "WARP!
In the crevices of small sizes, shopping arcades and other attendent.L you one so you can buy the items described in a moment; Fish of course, the local currency! The other offers jackpots where you can risk those fish if "hard" path being raised. Three penguins and this is the fortune!
bonuses, finally, you can fly (it feels so almost in nights!), To be invisible or invincible. Again, the sound effects are up to the feelings generated. Again ... what music! Ok, I'll leave (again) and (re) play this game ..
... but try it if please!
The game is available in the compilation "Konami's MSX antiques" exit Saturn (A disc which includes the top 25 titles konami released on MSX1, must!) And PlayStation (with the same 25 titles, but this time in three discs , sold separately).. These versions are out in Japan and are therefore intended to consoles from the country of the rising sun or modified. The games are playable because then written in English.
Rest (with instructions in French for more spending) the original MSX version (I saw the game between 15 and 20 euros in "Loose", a msx can be found in the 50 euro).. Soon Platform downloading the Wii should propose it. When is Antarctica adventure? His pre what? The game looks the same ... and it is only an appearance. To avoid this, it's just the decor together.
