This one needs a remake. The low-res 8bit backdrops in the rusty colors is what I remember giving this game a unique atmosphere. It's just the awful controls and the very short gameplay that failed it. And hearing "can't manage it" million times - even though was voiced by Jonell Elliott (Tomb Raider 4/5/6) - was innerving to say the least.
ich hoffe es ist auch auf gog.com erhältlich. 👍🙂 ist ein älteres game fand es schon früher ein gutes spiel. schon mal die story-Geschichte mit den Kindern ganz gut.🙂
Those games also need your vote!
