Amiga Longplay [451] Flink

http://www.recordedamigagames.org

Played By: ScHlAuChi

The german word flink means swift, agile, speedy, slippy etc.
The main character of this game is nothing like that, but that doesnt make it less enjoyable.

The whole package is really awesome - fantastic Pixel GFX by Henk Nieborg - great music by Matthias Steinwachs and good programming and gameplay design by Erwin Kloibhofer - the same team that brought you the superb Lionheart and later created Lomax in Lemmingland :)

However where there is sunshine theres also rain, the Amiga version has a nasty overlay issue with the HUD that the Megadrive version doesnt have. Another annoyance is flickering, black frames and slowdown that sometimes occur.

I wasnt able to keep the SoundFX of the game intact, as they were heavily broken - this was the case with all Flink versions i tried. Becasue of that i used the CD32 music, which unfortunately rarely fits the level it would originally played in, but at least the endboss music and ending credits should be exact ;)

I tried to show as many secrets as possible but there might be one or two i have overlooked.

Overall this game is one of Amigas best experiences :)

Was this game also available for Amiga 500 or 1200 ?

@JeDorsBeaucoupTrop

CD32 and SegaCD/MegaDrive only

@cubex55 I was very disappointed that an A1200 version never got release :( I remember the developers saying it was a possibility at the time but it never came to fruition. So many Amiga gamers missed out as a consequence including myself.

There is a ripped version for A1200 by a cracking group.

OMG, looks so great!! Reminds me of Lomax :D

[Lagash1973]

@fizzlymike It's been developed by the same team,that's why it's so similar,I guess. ;-)

[Lagash1973]

Nice game and video,you did well choosing to play with music instead of fx. I don't really like platforms without music, in fact I do the same also with Chuck Rock. Unfortunately on Amiga games often there's need to choose between em,that's why usually I prefer to play certain games on Megadrive or other console to having both,when they exist also on them of course. ;-)

Beautiful pixel art by Henk Nieborg, such a great artist

One thing that lets this game down is the forced scrolling.

@tomster785 Psygnosis is known for their green and brown landings that you walk on anyway whatever the platform game and whoever drawn them.

More or less, same gameplay seen in the coin'op "Three Wanderers" ("Quest for the chariot" part), but more "tricky". Nice game!
