Amidars
(stick figures with what appear to be nets) chase a gorilla around the odd
numbered rounds, a paint roller avoids pigs during the evens. Elements of Qix
are here, as the player draws a line behind wherever their character
goes to surround and illuminate a maze of rectangles. Escape using the
jump button (3 jumps are allowed per round), attack by illuminating all
four corners and touching the enemies. This one is quite a bit more
engaging than the home translations. It even includes a bonus round where
a the player selects which path a pig will take to possibly lead it to a
treat below. Charming music, but slightly irritating sound effects. I know
this game has been knocked in the past, but I must admit I enjoy Amidar
quite a bit. |
