Laura Atariada 2018 Edition

Aparecio en la revista online Flop 61.

The game Laura from Poland was released at the event Silly Venture 2016, though  its developing was known and spoken about before. It raised quite interest and won also native competition for the best game of the year.

It is really big project, as for running game from file computer needs additional memory at last 128 KB size. Version residents in a cartridge don't have such limitation, in addition offers two times amount of game maps, that is 2 x 32, in fact, whole game is doubled.

On the official Polish source about game at URL:

www.arsoft.netstrefa.pl/laura.htm

it is possible to find short information about authors and program itself, also list of game maps, lots of pictures and what is maybe most interesting for people, files to download.

Those are four language editions of the game, polish and English manual in the form of pdf file and for real fans also map editor as application for PC with system Windows. By that was made this version of the game published as third side of FLOP 61 magazine.

Instead of some link to cartridges' sale is there only short notice about not sending questions about it. So I think the first series was already sold out.

The second ones was made in March 2018, apparently it was English edition and its preparation was discussed here:

For people adept in polish language may be interesting really long recension:

A discussion in English was running at:

atariage.com/forums/topic/258957-laura-brand-new-game/


And what is this game exactly about?
Well, I would say it is a graphic action  logical and adventure genre. But opinion about it will surely differ between people.

Daikatana GBC

Un juego que quizas no tuvo la fama de Zelda, pero sigue su linea fue Daikatana version Gameboy Color.

El juego original es del gran John Romero que se demoro varioa años a dar a luz; el producto final no fue el esperado, pero este pequeño demake creo que fue sin duda un tesoro escondido y encontrado por pocos.

Pedro o Panama ?

Algunas curiosidades hay con el juego de Montezuma (bueno, hay varias, pero la mayoria ya discutida).

Primero el nombre que sale al principio es Pedro, pero despues sale como Panama Joe. Quizas son 2 juegos/personas diferentes como tal, y uno es mexicano y otro gringo; o tal vez in gringo e puso nombre en castellano para ser mas amigable dentro de su arqueologia pirata.

Lover Boy

Un juego bien freak de los 80s que la vi primero en la pelicula Joy Sticks.
Como la escena es algo hot, crei que el juego era solo para la pelicula (claro que haber hecho un juego solo para ese filme de bajo presupuesto era dificil)

El juego es como el tipico pacman, pero es un pervertido el que corre por los pasillos y cuando las alcanza obviamente hace de las suyas... fuerte para la epoca, se gana un punto del factor sorpresa. 

son 2 juegos diferentes pero parecidos.
