I ARE TEH MASTAR!! After waiting for guards to move, I made it back into the hideout. And there, where there was previously nothing, I found a flare gun! Rushed home to Skye, had a quick sleep, and in the morning we got into her life raft and pushed off from shore. A passing boat’s attention was attracted by the firing of the flare gun, and we were rescued! THE END! Finally! I was on Day 51 when I completed …
I damn well will complete this sodding game. Spent a while stocking up on supplies again, and then headed back out to the hideout. Actually made it inside this time, and after finding out some stuff in there, I went back to the cave and spoke to Skye. I think we’re ready to escape the island. I need some more stuff, from the hideout, but I don’t know what or where. We (well, I – she doesn’t seem to follow) …
Hurrah! Crate puzzles solved! There were nine of them overall. However, after I’d done them all, I realised Skye was almost dead. The stupid cow had forgotten to drink, meaning her water-o-meter was at 0%. This in turn caused her not to eat (you can’t eat when thirsty) so her food-o-meter dropped to 0% too. Then, she couldn’t sleep as a result of the above, so her stamina was dropping quickly. And because of that, her HP were on the …
These crate puzzles are driving me nuts! None have been difficult so far, but they’re so far away from your main cave that you take almost a day just to get to them, then you use stamina on them just moving crates, then you have to give up after three or so to come home because Skye has been an idiot and has clearly forgotten to eat, or sleep or something and she’ll die if you don’t get there in …
I’d made it back to the new cave for a sleep, and in the morning decided to go back to the main cave to make sure Skye didn’t die or anything. She wasn’t dead, although the fire had gone out. Caught a few fish, and rested to get my strength back, and then spent a day fishing, stocking up on firewood and food again, and making Skye a jerky shelf (to dry fish) and a table and some chairs. I’d …
Gasp! I seem to have done loads more on Lost in Blue this afternoon. Not least: Finished my raft. The hardest bit was actually finding enough logs, as they don’t spawn all that often and they’re pretty rare. Needed about 12 in total, and you only get them at a rate of one or two a day, if you’re lucky. The raft took me across the lake, to a place where there was another cave, some hot springs (where you …
Getting on quite well with my raft. I’ve built the first two-of-six “parts” for it, and have everything I need for the next one or two parts. There seems to be a bit of a shortage of logs, though. My fishing rod is great. I can catch one fish now which practically gives me an entire day’s required eating. I went hunting for deer, but missed it with my arrows, and then it ran away. Found what looked like a …
Well. I’ve done loads on this today! I think, in game time, I’ve spent some 12 days on it. I’ve explored a load of the island, found some animals, a jungle, some vines, loads of different fruit, built a better bed to sleep in (which helps to built stamina overnight), built a shelf, made a fishing rod and a bow and arrow, made a few shortcuts, and generally had a much better time of staying alive. The next “big task”, …
Blimey. It has been months since I last played this. Put it into my shiny new Game Boy Micro and had a play this morning. Seems I’m still stuck on Sky Canyon. Pah. Managed to get to the boss, but died. Had no lives left, so when I continued I had to do the whole of Sky Canyon again. After going through this cycle a few times (there are too many leaps-of-faith on Sky Canyon, which means UNAVOIDABLE DEADNESS) I …
I HAEV TEH STICK! Suddenly, the game seems a hell of a lot easier. I don’t have to spend every day almost dying! I can now catch a few fish with my Spear Of Ultimate Powar, and then dig up a few clams, bung it in with some seaweed and Skye can whip up something disgusting-but-edible that prevents us from having The Longest Sleep. Excellent. I also found a new area that I couldn’t get to previously, as there was …
I’m starting with the man in the mirror,(Man in the mirror-Oh yeah!)I’m asking him to change his ways(Better change!)No message could have been any clearer(If you wanna make the world a better place) Or something. Yes, I’m trying to kill Paranoia again. And he’s the man in the mirror. DYSWIDT? And no, I can’t kill him. The lasers keep getting me. Pah.
Caved in and started playing this, even though I still have other games on-the-go. It is basically a DS “re-imagining” of the GBC game Stranded Kids. And it is pretty good, if not more than a little frustrating. On my first go, I died before getting anywhere. I have now managed to make it through to day 9 on the island, finding the girl Skye, building a fire every day, making assorted “recipes” which offer little or no nutritional value, …
I had been warned that the Cursed Clock Tower was going to be hard in Julius Mode, but I actually found it a fair bit easier, not least because of Alucard’s bat transformation which allowed me to avoid the spinning spikes more easily. I’m now up to Paranoia – the baddie in the mirror. And although I can avoid his attacks easily, I’m not so hot with the laser beams that bounce around the room. Also, it is a fair …
Mostly played Volfied and The New Zealand Story next. Got pretty far on TNZS, but quit as I had to answer the door. I’m really impressed by this collection. It’s probably the most enjoyable “retro” pack since Activision Anthology on the GBA. Or perhaps Sonic Collection.
Yes. On my first go. What a terrible, terrible, repetitive, glitchy, unoriginal (even at the time) and generally awful sideways scrolling beat-em-up. Yet, I played it to completion anyway. And why? Because of the absolutely fantastic Engrish in the game. “You will all be servants of the satan!” BEST.
