Has the goat puzzle been made easier? That puzzle almost ended me. :D
ReplyDeleteYou mean the original was walking right then clicking the plow on the left after the goat knocks you over? Has that been made simpler? Yes sure, you just walk right then click the plow on the left after the goat knocks you down.
Deleteone of the worst puzzles ever! However I never liked the main character, he has the charisma of a trampled sxxt. No Guybrush, Indy, Sam&Max here....
Delete£25 for a paint job - ye sure lol
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to get this. I just hope they also remaster Beneath A Steel Sky. It's also time someone ported Broken Sword to the CD32.
ReplyDeleteYeah, how come the Broken Sword isn't on Amiga yet !
DeleteFor some, the milking of an old cow. For others, the recognition the old title has never received finally got some attention. I'm inclined to side with the latter.
