@johannbock Yes. An obscure little Cyborg-themed game absolutely no one has ever heard of ;)
However, directly after Giana Sisters they made Katakis, which was once again a ripoff, this time of R-Type. Ironicaly enough though, Activision (who held the rights for home computers) was so impressed with the game that they actually hired Rainbow Arts to change Katakis into the official C64 port of R-Type.
Aah, those were the days... :)

Looks like, its the rip out version of super mario bros.
Anyway, being a sega genesis guy i always disliked mario and then i got the SNES from my friend and playing with it for couple of hours made me a Nintendo guy!

You should do a review for a game called "Red Ninja End of Honor" it's a real challenge.

So clint, what do you think of skyrim? Is it leagues better than Oblivion? I haven't been able to try it out yet myself.

@techn0FTW Well, I posted a video about it not too long ago... but in short, it's freaking great! Leagues better than Oblivion for sure, at least to me; judging by the fact that I struggled to get into IV but V I've put 130 hours into no problem.

Awesome, very interesting to hear the history! And interesting to see the game. Too bad that it is bad or not good. Is pressing the up arrow to jump a throwback to the original? Maybe you had to do stuff like that when joysticks only had one action button but...grrr. Don't like pressing up to jump. Or pressing up on the joystick for acceleration in a driving game. Just thought I should mention that too. lol

@niceandgames Now that I think about it, it probably was a throwback to the original C64 game. You only had a single joystick button, and that was normally used for firing when you had the Courtney Love power-up. But seeing as you have no power-ups in this version, not mention an entire freaking keyboard of keys, I have no idea why jump is still the up arrow! Consider my gears thoroughly ground.

Was that a cherry Pepsi I spotted in the intro? What, no Cheerwine in your part of NC?
I guess if the demo scene were to do Christmas, this is it in all its MOD soundtrack glory. The game is pretty crappy and the controls likely a legacy of the 32k programming constraints, they really should have been improved. Christmas themed games were big in the 90s though, remember Xmas Lemmings?

@NJRoadfan Oh there's certainly Cheerwine here, but I'd had so much of it recently I moved on Cherry Pepsi at the time of this intro.
This really does feel like it was held back by the initial programming constraints, but really, I don't blame them. They improved on it a lot with Giana Worlds later on. And yeah, I certainly remember Christmas Lemmings! I reviewed the game a couple years back now.
