Gimme a Q - 'Q', Gimme an A - 'A', Gimme an O - 'O', Gimme a P - 'P', Gimme an M - 'M'....what have you got? ''QAOP 'n M - possibly the most popular choices when redefining keys for a Speccy game with the possible addition of 'Z' if alternate fire was requried'' - but it doesn't exactly trip off the tongue as a cheerleading chant.
I think the commodore 64 runs it a the right speed. But with all the jumping required, this version might be more forgiving. Is there a commodore 64 version on youtube?
i like Nodes. i was always excited to go deeper and deeper into the caves, actually without a chance to come back up. once i've fulfilled my old dream and mapped it. where's the map... oh here it is :)
so there are 16x16 screens with ground level. 5 of them are inaccessible. 10 extralives, 32 artefacts. everytime artefacts are different. 3 both ways teleports between adjacent screens. and... 38 gnawable walls :) hehe
Yay, thanks for reviewing this! I never got very far with it either but I remember that you need to get the mole like Spinnyfuck says and the mole enables you to explore further and collect more Alchiems.
You need to collect the mole from the lunar surface and it digs through the side walls. The Alchiems are shapes you need to collect. It is a good game but I never completed it.
where can i download this version?

You needed to get the mole on the surface of the moon, so he could burrow holes for you inside.
Also, those baddies should be avoided as even though you kill them, they deplete your energy.

I owned Arc Of Yesod way back then. Was Arc a sequel to this or released before Nodes?

I think the word 'review' is a bit stretched for this - 'first time I have ever played this' - lovely old game though

A true retro classic. Makes me want to dig the old specci out. was an infuriating game at times but i still loved it.

I completed the game several times, which wasn't always an easy task..;)
Did read somewhere that the game got lost in a computercrash.? I've been trying to find it for several years now without succeeding.. a pity

Looks like an alright game except the controls seem a bit crappy.
