Stumbling through the Megadrive version of Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll

[davidn]

Surprise snakes! Which would be a bad thing under any other circumstances, but as the Megadrive version of Snake, Rattle ‘n’ Roll was mentioned on the videos that kjorteo and I did, I hunted it down and gave it a test to see if it was any less brutal. (Spoiler: I don’t complete it). This makes this game the most played in the Stumbling Through series by two iterations. I must be mad.

This was meant to be a very quick video, but I was pretty amazed by how far I got on one set of continues - perhaps the game is a little more forgiving, even though there are a couple of places which were either made more brutal or that I just didn’t remember.

It's interesting to note that under stress I seem to swear not by increasing the strength of my language but by concatenating various other words together to form physically impossibe hybrid strings.

Considering there isn't even a player two participating. . . poor Roll!!!!

The graphics are improved, but I'm still on the fence about if the music is actually better.


How did you make it that far????

I surprised myself! Perhaps there's a lot to be said for just knowing (vaguely) what's around the next corner.

Speaking of the music, I'm vaguely reminded of virtually every pinball game that came out before digitized audio. The end-level "Amazing" screens are practically copy-and-paste sounds clips from the old-school electromechanical machines.
