Music rocked; Was quite badass. When the little guy dies the little death animation cracked me up with the tinny midi sounds :] Sweet little retro game!
Reviews for "Runes of Shalak"
Nice game
it's a fun nice addicting game
Young people suck!
I am a fan of alot of oldschool style games such as this, and I don't think any of the 0 rating voters understand the concept of this being a flash game based on Atari.
Yes people, This game WILL make you mad, this game made me swear more than ever, but please try to understand the the game is BASED ON ATARI, so it's not going to be perfect.
1. In most Atari games, the person/object that the player is controling only has certain areas of it that interact with certain objects. (if you have ever glitched the game Pong to were the ball can go backward, you can see that the back of your pillar can't hit the ball.) In this case, that certain area is the feet, this is why it is possible to fall through the sides of platforms or jump through the bottom and land on the top, do not think of this as a problem. There are some harder levels in this game that become easier by using this as an adventage.
2. Old games also have problems to where your controlled person will change size if performing a certain move of task, in this case, your character actually becomes a larger when you jump or taller when running, thus making you a bigger target for hazards.
3. Atari games were big on ridiculous situations were timing and placement were everything. (Pitfall was the worst about this in my opinion) So make sure you know your jumping and movement limits before just running up to a hazard like a madman.
What I'm trying to show you people is that these games are going to have problems and that reviewing this game as a 0, saying something like; "I'm voting 0 because this game has to many stupid problems", and then running off to go play Halo 3 is just wrong. Just because your not used to games like this doesn't mean it's the games fault.
