Tarantula by Creative Sparks - Uncompleteable?

edited February 2013 in Games
Played this game through and there are two objects you simply cant get at, bottom level towards the right hand side, a bit frustrating after all that dodging about!

    yeah, I'm pretty sure I finished this game off when I was about 9 years old?

    a word in spanish as elton used to sting.

    there seems to be many good spanish adventure games, but i don't know the language.

    i don't know a word in spanish.

    edit:

    sorry - cough cough - i've searched "tarantula" through infoseek and i've seen a spanish game with the same title.

    Love this game, but I've never been able to complete it. Ummm, doesn't it have identical sound effects to Roller Coaster?!

    Just uploaded this video made from the RZX:

    From the notes included with the RZX:
    Once all the pods are collected (240), the player teleports to a different starting point in the map, and the game begins again from scratch. No congratulations message or anything.

    Aye, and the same key instruction guide scrolly thingy on the menu screen. And the same crappy "ending" where it starts again with no congrats.

    Methinks Mike Westlake worked for Elite Systems when Roller Coaster was written.

    i think it shares a lot more.. maybe another possible harry price..

    title screen scroller / font and the game engine isn't dissimilar

    had a look at merlin also.. again same sound fx .. and a dash of manic miner for good meaure :lol:

    maybe he was friends with he bloke who did rollercoaster.. but IRC they only did 2 titles rollercoaster + the animator thing by err softcat

    ALSO the music reacts the scroller the same way i.e. the note length changes the scroller
