| Here's a real Christmas time treat for all of you puzzle fans and with 175 levels to trawl through - it may end up keeping you occupied well past new year too! Hajo Spuunup has ported Paul E Collins' Mushroom Man for Windows to the Spectrum. This program uses the silicon disk which is why it requires a 128K system. I should point out this looks like another "good" entry and not actually crap! I'll be playing it a bit more though just to be sure. Imagine my glee as I heroically made my way out of level one thanks to picking the correct route through a sequence of locked doors. It appears that the player is guided through a series of introductory levels, serving to gradually bring the various in-game elements into play, as is often the case with puzzle games. I can only guess that the difficulty level increases as you progress through the game and with there being such a vast number of levels in the game I shudder to think how cerebrally taxing it might get towards the end! Hajo tells me that this version has a proper ending and everything, should you make it that far. There's also a docfile with further info supplied in the downloadable zipfile. |
