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.

Who knows :) I've heard the name before but I have no idea what it is, and those often make for the best videos. It all depends on what reactions you feel like getting out of me!

It's a little bit Legend of Zelda (primarily as far as controls go, if you don't count the ability to jump), a little bit Earthbound (in that things occasionally get a bit ridiculous and your primary weapon is a yo-yo.), and a little bit Indiana Jones. You'll probably be laughing your ass off and going "WHAT!?" at most of it. There's giant snakes, death traps, and many varieties of cola, just to name a few non-spoilerish things.

2 things you may not like is that later parts can get somewhat challenging, and about halfway through there's a bit of anti-piracy crap involving a letter that came with the instruction booklet...that part is rendered moot by the Internet, of course, but it's still a bit irritating.
