Super Offroad by Virgin has been ported to a ton of systems. It is one of the few games on the PC that can utilize the full 64 color EGA palette! But this version is for the Sega GameGear. It is quite playable, but the tiny display makes every little mistake a grave punishment. Catching up to the leading car almost impossible. Nevertheless a fun isometric racer that perhaps plays better than Micro Machines on this handheld…?

Oh what a coincidence!

Kirby‘s Pinball Land is a surprisingly good and not quite so easy game. Pinball games on the GameBoy don’t work very well usually, but this isn’t a regular pinball game, which is why it works, I think!

One of the most influential games of my childhood: the Game of Robot. A German shareware 2D action adventure, maybe? I think this screenshot is of the freeware Robot Junior game, but the mechanics are very similar. You play the green guy in the upper left corner. You can leave each room only once all the robots have been destroyed. And you don’t have any weapons, but an array of items that you can pick up and use.

Inside the pub it‘s open mic night for the local poets. We grab some taffy and beer and make haste. Not much to do yet!
By the way: what is the beer for? I don’t think we used it later…
The backdoor leads to a pub. It is closed however. But next to the door are colored buttons that open the door. By using the combination from the dragonfly tree AGAIN!
Inside the building is a shop for the local ferry line and the mustard cartel. The shopkeeper however seems to be in trance. This is actually a puzzle I didn’t quite get. For some reason we can heal all the people in trance state by giving them the skeptic potion… why…??
The map shows our destination: the volcano island. But the ship only goes to a different island.
Past the city gate we find a cozy place. Apart from our trusty stick there is not much else to discover here. So we enter the sole building on this screen…
Now we have everything in place for the sandwich potion. With this we can lure the city guards off their post and slip into the city.
Back at the water wheel contraption we can make mustard for the potion using the radish and vinegar, and also create a magnet by exposing the horseshoe to the electricity. All perfectly logical!
To be fair, most of the puzzles in this game are logical. Or at least follow traditional adventure game logic.
In the basement of the farmer's house we find some lucky horseshoes and a cheese making machine. We can use the milk from the sheep to make cheese! Which is one of the ingredients to making the sandwich potion...
That was an amazing stream! Thanks everyone for joining in!
Tonight we will play Kyrandia 2: Hand of Fate!

I am planning to do a Let's Code Livestream on Sunday, 8th June 2025, at 20:00 CEST, 18:00 UTC. We will be hacking away on an Infocom interpreter for the Commodore PET -- and I barely speak 6502 assembly! What could possibly go wrong???

How about a trip to Mexico?

Ok, who here solved the light and tube puzzle in Oceanus Prime without looking at the hints? The hints say that you can solve this by looking in the tech duct, but no... there was nothing like that. Or were we too daft?
And is that croissant and filling really a saying?
