Like the introductions to your videos .. give some great background to the brand/game/etc. Also wasn’t aware of GBII being seen as a critical failure though I’m not surprised by this as I suspect Columbia expected it to come with all of the accolade (and cash) of the original even though 5 years had passed. Too quick to judge I’m sure over the years the movie has made whoever owns the rights now a hell of a lot of money. It was also the first movie I remember seen at the cinema as a child. Keep up the videos.. good narration and game play 👍
Thanks for the kind words! I was surprised to find that out about GBII as well, but yeah I guess tastes had changed in those intervening 5 years... I for one don't think it THAT bad, but what do I know... Thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying the videos 👍
I bought this off eBay a few months ago. I think I had two or three goes before I got frustrated, switched it off, and the box went back on the shelf. I've never seen the second level - maybe it's completely different like other movie licences which have a mini game for each level (a la Batman - The Movie). To be honest with you, I found the game too bad to even bother googling the answer to this, but was kind of hoping maybe you would have cheated your way past the first level to show us. Very bad show from the Oliver Twins and, yeah, AA rating it that highly makes no sense. As you've found out through your Amstrad Anniversary vids, very few AA ratings do make sense. "Inconsistent" is far too much of an overstatement.
Yeah, and as much of a fan of AA as I am, it is only really now I'm seeing this inconsistency... But no, no matter how much frustration, no cheating here...
