Clyde's Adventure
Clyde's Adventure is a below average DOS platformer that starts out quite promising before descending into mediocrity about halfway through.
Your goal: make your way through each of 32 castles, while collecting treasure, all the gems, and finding the exit to the next castle. A novel design choice in Clyde's Adventure is the absence of enemies: there are no monsters to kill or avoid. Instead, there are numerous traps, switches, and teleporters that you must find and activate. One of the best things about Clyde's Adventure is the large number of castles: the game contains two chapters, each with 16 castles. The first part is shareware, the second part is only available upon registration. Playing all available castles will easily take you hours, much longer than an average shareware platformer. The graphics are also decent and the controls are easy to use. Unfortunately, these high points are too few compared to the repetitive level design and uninspired backgrounds. After the first 5 or so castles, you will have seen most of the game, and have little incentive to continue. Not recommended, except if you like puzzle-oriented platformers in general and are tolerant enough of boring levels.
Note: Long out of print, the full version is once again available for download here, thanks to its author, Mike Voss, giving us permission:) Also many thanks to Itay Shahar, a HOTU visitor who managed to contact the author after a long email search.
Clyde's Revenge
Clyde's Revenge is a pretty bad side-scrolling platformer that ruins the creative premise of having no enemies with bland gameplay and endlessly boring levels.
Basically, your goal is to collect all the stones in the level to move on to the next one, performing complicated jumps and solving simple puzzles in the process. While the premise may be original, the game itself is too boring to sustain. You'll have to go around more than once to find that last stone needed to complete the stage. What's worse is the fact that you'll need hundreds of these stones in later stages to beat them. This wouldn't be so bad if the levels were creative or interesting, but they're not. You'll go through hundreds of rooms that are the same as the previous ones, except with ledges and stones placed in different locations. There's very little change in scenery, and the puzzles are far from the inventive quality of Epyx's Impossible Mission 2 or Delphine's Flashback to keep you interested. So who can like Clyde's Revenge? Well, if you have a lot of patience (and I mean a lot), you might find Clyde's Revenge refreshing in the genre that usually throws hundreds of baddies at you from all directions. But if what you want is a nice, relaxing 'exploration' game, there are simply better games out there - see our review of Seiklus, for example. Thumbs down for this poor underdog that almost gets a Real Dog tag.
Note: we're still looking for the registered version of Clyde's Adventure, the prequel to this game.
