#ZXSpectrum #RetroGaming #Walkthrough - Hry
As a kid I played this game a lot. Never got past even the half point. No internet, no walkthroughs back then...
This game caught my attention when I was a kid but never able to get much progress other than the can of worms. I'd just wander doing silly things with the trap door. Thank you for showing the full walkthrough, nice memories!
This has got to be the most faithful video game adaptation ever made! The setting is bang on, with Boney sitting in his little alcove by the trap door and him upstairs barking orders. The way that the worms and monsters spill out of the trap door and Berk helplessly chases them about is spot on too. The only inaccuracy is that he doesn't leave the bloody trap door open and wander off!
I always wanted to play this game but never got to. It far exceeded my expectations! Thanks for posting this video :)
I remember playing this game as a kid and accidentally dropping boney down the trap door.
I was so upset 😂
My sister's and I used to wait several minutes for this to load, only to walk back and forth between the first few screens repeatedly because we couldn't figure out what to do...
Simpler times 😂
It was my big brother's Spectrum and a bit beyond us at the time lol..
We used to love watching him play a driving game where you could knock street window cleaners off their ladders.. dunno if it was Lotus Esprit but thats the only other title I remember, except Trapdoor and one called Mountain of the Warlock(?) or something
Ahh nostalgia 😂
Such impressive graphics! Looking at this game, you'd never know the Spectrum had colour clash! :)
Very clever, the way this game's graphics were so carefully designed to avoid the Spectrum's notorious "attribute clash" problem. Pretty sure that's the technical term for it. We used to call it "colour sludging" round my way back in the day, because it looked as if the colours were oozing off the sprites and getting onto the scenery :)
Yeah, and it looks much better on a CRT (cathode ray tube for the unaware) as well. In fact , even a lot of PS2 games were configured for CRT. Crazy overlap.
@@Felix-Sited Yep, CRT did older games a lot of favours, smoothing the jaggies, making "dithered" (stippled) colours blend as intended, and - best of all - those deep blacks contrasted with glowing phosphor trails! :) It's stuff that can (sort of) be faked on modern displays with lots of filters, but it used to come as standard.
@@blatherskite3009 I'm sure everyone referred to it as Colour Clash BTW.
@@Felix-Sited When I already said they didn't - and was careful to say "round my way," i.e. in the area where I lived - I'm not sure why you'd quibble that?
There was never any "official" name for it, or a lot of other things. Back in pre-internet days there was a far greater variety of "local" names and pronounciations for things, probably because you never actually heard anyone "official" giving you an official name or pronounciation for things, but you had to call them something.
For example, round my way we all called the Super Nintendo the "snez" - pronouncing "snes" as if it was a word - but other people seem to spell out the name as individual letters, calling it the "ess-en-ee-ess."
Most gaming media was in print form back then, i.e. magazines, so you got no help with "official" pronounciations, and games didn't tend to get any TV coverage, so all you had to go on was what the other kids were calling it in your local area.
Pretty sure Crash magazine used to call it "attribute clash" or "colour clash" - but really that's no more official than their attempts to get people to adopt the name "aardvarks" for "arcade adventure" games (aa, geddit?). It's just a name that some journo came up with. Some of them fly, others don't :)
@@blatherskite3009 Jeez, dude. I wasn't having a go at you. I was simply saying what they referred to it as.
You can use the yellow jug to store slimes. That way you dont have to go up and down 4 times. That gives you time to plant eyeball crushes during first mission. But you won anyway, so good job :-)
Great seeing this game in action again. I used to play this to death when it came out. The genius of Don Priestly. Excellent use of colour and a nice nod to the theme tune of Trapdoor also. Thanks for the upload.
The one time I got as far as getting the safe, I raised the lift too high and crushed it. Nice to finally see the complete ending, 32 years later.
Yes the graphics are very impressive.....Berk is so well animated
Extremely impressive use of the Speccy's garish palette and masking of its inherent colour clash.
Ahhh the best days of my life....thank you
You're welcome.
I always use the yellow container to collect the slimies in - it saves 3 repeat trips to the swamp.
I never realised that you could put all three fully-grown eyeballs into that basket; I always assumed that they would be far too big so I never even thought about attempting it.
The only task I couldn't do was the crushed eyeballs. Just couldn't get the machine thing in the right place. Amazing game though. I loved it, and still do.
Same
I can't even begin to describe how long it took me to get my little, 6 year old head around this game and how to play it. I think after a good year of trying over and over I finally got somewhere but man...this was one tricky game and a complete mystery at times!!!
:D Exactly! Games didn't give us any help back in the old days haha and There was no internet for walkthroughs either. Even as kiddos, we had to be smart enough to work it all out :D
I used to like waiting for things to crawl on top of the trap door and then opening it so they'd go flying straight up in the air.
Great game. Finished it the other day (Jan 2016). I still got it. :D
I still haven’t completed this game 😂♥️ thanks for the video showing that happens. The ghost did my head in as a kid 😂
I can't believe you killed Boni at the end! You don't need to get rid of him as part of the cleaning up, you can just leave him on his shelf. You do need to make sure that Drutt is gone, though. Also, if you raise the weight all the way up when dropping it on the safe at the end then the safe is destroyed. This gets you the rating of "underpaid" instead.
Thanks for the tips!
через 20 лет я все таки узнал, что надо делать в этой игре))
Добро Абдулова я тоже ; ) помню тогда заустил ее, походил и выключил
Потому что у нас все игры были пиратские :) А к оригинальной кассете прилагалась инструкция. Ну и английский язык мы не знали.
Great vid. Gona try and have a go myself now. Been over 20 years since I first got rhis game.
Excellent game, with nicely coloured graphics with a great tune too, and definitely a classic in my opinion, loved the tv series as well, and got the Dvd😄.
Still like to play this game when I get the chance. Great video.
Wow memory lane, I loved this game but it was so difficult back then, no internet to turn to etc..
Haha thanks for the upload, I never did get past that part with the cauldron!
такой-то дизайн уровней. Одна из самых запомнившихся игр на спектруме.
да
Man this game had me mezmerised as a kid my brother gor a spectrum in the mid 80's and this was probably the best game for it tbh its very advanced game mechanics wise if you think about it. Also graphics wise man it is leaps above other games on the system
17:00 oh that thing is a frying pan? I thought it was a rolling-pin.
me too!
Damn I was like 4 years old when I saw that game on our ZX Spectrum. Forgot its name and now suddenly recalled
Loved this game as a kid. Never did finish it though.
Very tricky game.
The hard part is the game mechanics when for example the jumping giant is langing on particular line- if you are a little off, he fails to land in the crushing bucket. Same problem with the fire cannon being hit by the red weight block- if its off by one line, it doesnt work.
I also passed this game. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome!
I played this game when I was a kid at 6-8 y.o. in 1995-1997
Excellent retro.......
0:03 This Music Is Funky. Thanks Mate. X
Thanks for this!
I can't make eyeballs smoothie in any way, the damn harlequin jumps past the barrel all the time, no matter how I move it
love all that
preparation is the key!
I could not get past this first screen. I had no idea what to do.
Ha ha, me neither! I never got anywhere with this game.
I have and still play this game. BUURRKKK WHERE'S MY BREAKFAST ??????
Fun Puzzling Game, got bit Frustrating at times though lol
When 240p looks like Its HD Upscaled.... and it's a Spectrum 😂❤
лучшая и любимая игра на ZX
Slojnaya dostatochno.. Esli bi on dvigalsya pobistrey nemnogo.
So: the ghost will disappear if you collide with him and are carrying a worm at the time?
Yes. If you don't carry a worm, Berk will be teleported to another room.
Stuck I've no problem preparing for each part in advance but one of the monsters randomly NEVER returns down the trap door when its jobs done so eg ill be stuck with the pot boiler when I need the juicer to swap in. I'm lost :/
You mean the bird? You need to hit it again to make it go down the trap door.
You have to crush the pot boiler with the weight.
Моя любимая квест игра на спекки
I would never know what to do ;)
бля это была мегастранная игра. и очень охеренная
