7 years in the making!

Glad you saw this one through to production. As a big fan of the original Adventure I picked up one of your new carts and had a blast playing it along with my 5 and 7 year old which also love Adventure. The wizard regeneration can be maddening, especially when you've taken out one wizard with the fire staff and then the bat steals the staff from you before you've found and killed the other wizard. Next thing you know the wizard you thought you've vanquished is back from the dead and you're back to square one. The ending was so satisfying burning the red wizard up in the chalice after he must have re-spawned 38 times in the game haha. Also my brain is trained to go on autopilot through the water maze after playing Adventure so many times, it's hard to resist going the autopilot direction and not the now reversed correct path in EMR II. In Adventure dark catacombs are easy to intuitively find your way through moving in a constant direction. I love how your dark catacomb mazes run counter intuitive to the direction I want to progress through. Keeps it a good brain challenge.

 

It seems I did find a glitch. I'm not exactly sure how it happened as it happened so quickly. I believe I was in the dark catacomb and entered the white room and then back into the dark catacomb immediately. Somehow this managed to get my square locked inside the white wall and unable to move. I considered this punishment for not remembering the catacomb maze haha.

 

I hope to see an EMR III and hope there isn't a 7 year wait! Thanks for this piece of game art!

Good to hear that someone is playing it!  Sorry about the glitch - I can't recall that ever happening in the many hours Atari Brian and I tested it.  But I do like your idea of "punishment" for not memorizing the maze. 

 

Since you like it, feel free to write a review in the store! ?

I tried, it shows my star rating for the game, but maybe I messed up as my review hasn't posted.

Thanks for making the game, it was a lot of fun playing both EMR I & II on the show. ? Super challenging on the higher levels!
