Mad Professor Mariarti Acorn Games Video Archive A3010/TV Card

[SerPinkKnight]

Urgh, as I watch this I remember the furstraition. How I wouldn't go for certain tokens because it wasn't worth the risk or how I certain jumps were so tricky and could totally screw up your chances later on.

Never did complete level five.

[crispyfloyd]

I remember there being a Tardis and a cheeky Dr. Who sample which made me smile so much!

[TheF126]

Remember all these! I used to love Hostages, Pysanki, Inertia, Zool, Blowpipe, Chocks Away, Repton... the list goes on!

I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID! Is there any way I can get it again?

[madkidftw]

I, like a few others I see, love this game. They used to have it at school, I remember winning the game once! Probably one of the few games I've enjoyed enough to finish completely. I remember looking and looking for a PC version of this. Will have to give this another go (on an emulator) after so many years!

[xxxKingArsenalxxx]

Anyone know if you can still play this any where???



[Crackmaids]

I first played this game 16 years ago. And only JUST NOW have I got the joke 'chip maker'. Awesome game for a criminally underrated platform.

[NickG24]

I loved this too. Came across it as I've recently downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog for my 5 yr old son on the wii. That got me looking at emulators and I remembered Mad Professor - didn't expect to find anything but this has brought back some good memories! I only remembered putting the stick in the crocodiles mouth until now! Shaun, you are a genius!

[LeBuav]

Has anyone got any links to this game? I need to get back in touch with my childhood, I've been staring at this game for yonks now, really miss playing it, and I never actually got to complete it.

[Tedsville]

Just got it working in my Acorn A5000 emulator. Damn, this is the first game i ever played on my first computer when i was five years old (i am having a nostalgia-gasm right now). Can anyone remember what the change / use item buttons were? this version is just arrow keys and space and im pretty sure thats not how it used to be

[violetfishy]

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. Chemistry lab was my favourite! My brothers and I used to take turns on the levels.

[dctim]

I...WANT...THIS...GAME!!!!!!!!­

[mooxim]

haha I can't believe I could still remember the loony bin music. Actually that makes sense, I was about three when this game was new and I sucked at it.

[LiamJamesBarry]

Me and my mate Danny used to play this (well, i was rubbish, so i'd watch him be pro!) back when we were like.... 10 or something?? The acorn was the start of our video game passion! I still remember coding starwars themed text animations in visual basic! Nice One!

[poonparade616]

bits of the music sound like pac man...

[hiphopapotamus85]

The name of this game just popped into my head, cant believe how much i played, one of my favourate acorn games ever, used to love chuck rock, robocod and neveron too!

[EricMushroomWilson]

I remember playing this game a lot on a computer they had at my school when I was a kid. I think I got to the last level but I never beat it.

[browian01]

Haha my story is the same... used to play this in primary school!

[EricMushroomWilson]

I guess maybe a lot of schools had it or something.

[paulipips999]

Hehheheheheh!!!! EXCELLENT stuff - this one takes me back , bloody ace music and tripped out graphics - around this period 386 PC's running MS Dos 6.1 couldnt come anywhere near an Archy for sound / visual power - I can never remember my A3000 crashing no matter what I threw at it.

[michaeltesh]

the masters shaun hollingworth and matt furniss

[shaunhw]

Nice to see this old thing again.

I did the code and my mate Matt did the music.. Such a long time ago now.

How I miss working on the Acorn Risc OS platforms. Best machines to program ever.

Working on PCs is enough to get you to the loony bin...

Shaun Hollingworth.

I've asked matt, but for my part I am not aware of these sample names, nor did anyone report them in the past.

Shaun.

[ultracoolal]

Shaun, is there a version of this that will work on a pc or mac? i'm desperate to play this again! thanks

[tjf4375]

@shaunhw Wow, you were responsible for this? Then I have to thank you for the countless hours of enjoyment you gave us! It was a truly brilliant game for its time and kept me and my brother hooked for ages way back when :) I'd love to play it again just for the nostalgia!

[MattTheOak]

@shaunhw You should re-release this for the iPhone - have you thought about that?

[tbuksuperfly]

@shaunhw

very nice! loved this game when i was a kid.. nice work

actually fired it up again recently on my emulator, wasnt very stable but did re-ignite some of my old memories :)

[alchemorphtv]

@shaunhw Thanks Shaun for the game - loved it and the music!

[whatthemeh]

@shaunhw You made my childhood. :D

[Bittergamer1886]

@shaunhw I hate to burst your bubble on the good memories, but Matt wrote this in the code in the instrumental text.

"hello hacker fucker

this is matt furniss

heres the deal.

if you hack this game

i will find you

where ever you are

and break your legs

and thats a promise"

He doesn't sound so nice! D:
