Me either but then I was tall for my age and didn't have to worry about platform shoes.......Originally posted by Spaced Cowboy
Sorry Spikey, platforms were not my thing.Comment

I swear the standard has gone down in this game.
Next clue: There was an arcade version. Ocean and Taito (of coin-op fame) are jointly responsible for the game.Comment

Is it the New Zealand Story? Cannot remember anything about an insect level or so but what the hell....Comment

A little warmer than the other guesses, but no.

Or maybe it's Rainbow Island. Some of those games that all looked like a candystore from heaven and gave my eyes caries.Comment

Ka-ching!!
Use the rainbows to climb the level and trap enemies, with a big boss at the end of each level. One of my favourite games.
Over to you Kropotkin.Comment

Thanks, it was the hint about Ocean that did it for me. Never liked the game, but it's easy to remember.

Anyhow, new game coming up. I will just start with one word and then I'll add a few of the usual clues (year, system etc) after the footie. And the word is....

I would have gotten that right at the start if you mentioned the other systems (Atari ST, Amiga, console) Rainbow Islands appeared on.
As for Kropotkin's game:
Die Siedler (The settlers)Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

Nope to both. I should add that the word shouldn't be taken to seriously, it's not an easy hint. I just need to think about a few serious ones for a while. So that hint is just to make you confused.

Dammit, I've played Rainbow Island. I just didn't think of it as a platform game.
Krop: M.U.L.E.? No wait, that's been done apparently. Nur... Populus?Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Haha you're not even close. I'm gonna start getting you some real clues now.
IIRC it was actually the first game I bought* for my C64 in the mid 1980s. This arcade game was made for more or less all of the platforms avaliable at the time, even if they came a couple of years later than the Commodore version. There has also been a couple of sequels that I hadn't heard of before I made some research about it. The first of them X 2 a few years later and a second one at the end of the millenium for a consule that was a total failure as far as I can tell.
* In other words, it was not the first game I owned for the C64, but that's another story...Comment
