Hmmm.... I think the 11 year old boy I was 14 years ago who barely knew any English and finally completed it after months of stubborn, frustrated anger would disagree.
But hey, it was worth it. These games taught me English. And I became a Monkey Island and Lucasarts adventure games fan for life.
@rigstula I played it in German back then. There was this magazine in Germany called "Bestseller Games". They were really cheap, always had these games on CD and a walkthrough. But using those would be cheating. The game was really hard.
Seriously, when will today's game designers start focusing on artistic values again? I'm just wishing for the day when real-time 3D graphics has reached such a high level that it cannot be improved notably, forcing the game developers to start exploring the artistic side again.
Just look at this game's script! And the humorous quality and timing that the clean pixel-based character expressions and text-only dialogues contribute to. It's not the number of pixels that made this game big.
yeah they should adverts more even if it's only on G4 i love these games and a vampyre story but only first found the 3rd in a demo and saw the 4th in eb shopping when i started these games and a vampyre story on youtube same for a vampyre story 2 a bats tale
No, something else must be the problem, It's an old game and doesn't take that much ram really. If not something is broken? have u tried vaske printeren.
The Secret of Money Island is my favorite game ever!! xD...so many fond memories. I've only played MI on the PC though but thanks for posting this vid.
A game so big only the Sega CD could hold it? Apart from the Amiga that is. It doesn't matter that it had to be put on about 7 discs (and the second game on about 12). The Amiga could still support the game. So the advert is wrong.
and pc diskette also, although the amiga version had more colors \resolution\better sound, so if you had harddisk on amiga it was superior. This is probably one of the later CD versions (rereleases) with cd audio etc?
why did someone give him minus 2? it looks identical to the amiga version which i played. as one person said perhaps the music is of a slightly higher quality but anyway all these sega console releases after the genesis/mega drive failed miserably
Yeah, this is the real deal. I remember a ton of tv spots like this... matter of fact, I still have some videos which have old advertisements just like this. These were very common.
The only reason why it took the Sega CD for a Genesis port of the game was because of the music in CD redbook format. Otherwise, a cart could've been managed using the Yamaha chipset in the Genny.
