Thumbs up, buddy. Q: which version of the game is this? AGA, CD32? I had a 2 disk version, played it on my A600, and I never saw this long version of the intro. This one is so much longer.... Great game,great atmosphere. I often played this one and SotB3 with "7th son of a 7th son" in the background. Screw The Hitman, Doom, MK films, I'd love to see a movie made based on THIS game (and SotB 1&3)....

@K4l4mburg0

This is the regular floppy Amiga version.

The reason your intro was shorter might be that you were using a cracked copy... I know they removed parts of the intro to make room for crack intros etc.

y is the game rendered impossible if you miss one of the coins?

[laffer35]

@tuRtLemAn064

Because you need to pay the snail 36 coins in order to be transported back to Karamoon later on in the game... and there are exactly 36 coins in the game.

I hate the sound of crying babies too! And kids in general to be honest...

[laffer35]

Yeah, me too! Can't stand kids.

This game was so hard, well in fact impossible without the cheat.

[TheOCELOTR]

Main screen & music is still amazing.

[Highlander01]

The most unforgiving game of all time. Miscalculate a jump; hit the wrong lever and its game over. SOTB II had amazing graphics for its time and a terrific atmosphere (creepy as hell, even by today’s standards) but the game play was horrendous.

the intro,the opening screen,the music..its like ive just played it yesterday.

thx for the upload:D

loved this game, grew up with it on the Amiga 500 at a mate's house (as I didn't have one) and played many, many hours back in the late 80's/early 90's

@Waxer3929 Same - I remember this from when I was younger and it was one of the first games I ever played. That intro freaked me out and I never really made it past the first screen!

[Waxer3929]

I actually really enjoyed your comments.

I'm an avid fan of SoTB, having played when I was fairly young, it kind of freaked me out honestly, like when the sorcerer transformed into the bird-creature. I really didn't know what I was seeing or playing, but it was one of the more intense side-scrollers at the time.

I'm glad I got to hear at least another persons thoughts.

@laffer35 WTF! You make this look so easy. I loved Psygnosis games like Agony for music & gfx but were far too hard so I gave up. Watching SB2 were you point out "if you dont do xyz game is ruined", how did you figure them out ? Did you read magazines 4 tips or play over n over because you didnt have many games or just good at figuring it out ?

I just seen a bit of your Project-X. This game I played lots. I think I only ever got to part 3 about twice ever. You done part 4 ? Thats not human ;)
