Old games you loved but no one else did?

Thank you much biggestjim!

It seems like I finally have found the right place to talk about "Jack the nipper 2"!
This is absolutely one of my favorite games. It has a huge map and you can go everywere you want. I've found the same free feeling only exploring Mario and Zelda games on Gamecube, but JTN2 is only 64K!!!

I've just pubblished the map, I've built it with emulator screenshots and a lots of Photoshop work!
I've spent about two years to make it (working only in my free time) so please be kind with it.
It's incredible but I made this map without resolving the game. In fact "Jack the nipper 2" has a so big map that is engaging just to go around his world to explore it.
I know about some naughtiness to make some score but I haven't eard about anyone who have finished this game.

Please contact me if you want to help me on writing a JTN2 solution.

In "Jack the nipper 2" manual it's written that it was possible to have an hint poster about Jack's naughtiness from Gremlin Graphics. It should be a GOOD thing to have a scan of it!

Try my new "Map explorer":

Or download only the map:

My next maps will be: Citadel and Montezuma's revenge
... stay tuned!

I was waiting for that

Nice little game, that. Just listened to the music, though, being a big Hubbard fan.

Ooooh - that's really quite impressive!

I swear I've seen Citadel maps around, too - but they're much smaller than JTN2...

Welcome, seuck, awesome work with your map! JTN2 fans unite! What does the POKE cheat code that's floating around on the web do, by the way? Give you unlimited lives?

Yeah! Louise and I love that. Stumbled across it when I was looking for somewhere to find a download of "Roketz" from - wonderful game.

You can download the full versions of Skyroads and Skyroads Xmas edition (hard!) from the bluemoon software website...

Skyroads Xmas edition (hard!)

Your not wrong, I actually only found this Xmas one today, have only got past a couple of the levels.
I am curious though, on the first one, have you completed every course? I cant do 3 of the last 4.

I loved The Human Race also

I have seen your review of it, and it helped me get to grips with some of the later levels! Its not one of the easyiest games out there

One of my all time favourites is Blagger

I was the first game I ever played on the C64. I loved the level design, GFX, SFX and Box cover.

No one else seems to share my love of this game, either

Sorry, I never played Blagger but it looks like my favorite "Montezuma's revenge". Also it was created by Tony Crowther, the father of the most famous Phobia, Bombuzal, Zig zag, Monty Mole...

I'll play Blagger as soon as I can, thank you!

Alright, I dug up a walkthrough of sorts. I'm going to beat this game, no matter the cost.

Four questions:

1.) Where's the hyena? I think I explored pretty much the entire map back in my C64 days but I can't remember anything about a hyena.
2.) Where's the blue Tasmanian devil? Don't remember him, either.
3.) Is there a way to get back to the place where you start to get the grease after you're past the first temple with the elephant? It seems impossible to get past the quicksand.
4.) How the hell are you supposed to guess that tossing a glass with worms in it onto a bridge will make it collapse?

I've done every course besides the very last one - I've been playing for about two and a half years and I plain cannot do the last one no matter how many times I go back to it

I gave up with the Xmas edition because it was too fucking hard though. Should go back to it at some point really.

I cant do the last one of the second last section, and the very last two.
How the fuck did you do the last level in the second last section? Where you jump side to side, I cant even get to the third oxygen refill thing....

Yup the Xmas one is fucked up. Was just playing it and done a few more courses. The first one I done most of them on the first or second go, every course is taking like 5 or more on the Xmas one. Ahhhhhhhh

Me and my mate used to play that on his MegaDrive loads when we were nippers. Great game in 2 player mode.

Isn't it just. Unfortunately nobody would play it against me, as I obsessed a bit on single-player (I think I've completed it, all 32 maps, about five times red and blue) and they didn't like losing all the time!
