INCLUDES STRANDED - The original ZX SPECTRUM game. Numerous and entertaining text-based puzzles.Ī rich, and in-depth world, full of mystery.įull English language manual to help you get started. Should be simple!Īs a text-adventure, you will control your actions and that of other characters, not with single keypresses or controllers, but through typed English sentences, In Stranded 2, you'll solve puzzles, and mysteries, through the manipulation of a host of objects, exploration and interaction with others you'll meet along the way. If this is a genre and era that you love, then our games are for you.įollowing a not highly unexpected crash landing (which seems to happen to you a lot), you find yourself stranded on a hostile alien world full of humour, mystery and quite a bit of walking - Your task is clear, find a way off of this planet and get home. We don't aim to develop AAA games, but simply to bring our passion for a time gone by to those who love truly classic themed and inspired games. We only develop games that embrace that era, aiming to provide true classicly styled gaming, with a massive retro feel, maybe with a slight hint of what these games would have been with a little more processing power.
I give it five stars, or something.JimJams games are a small, indie development team with a love for the retro games of the '80s and '90s. Think Harvest Moon - but with the threat of a horrible dehydrated death constantly looming over you - and you'll begin to understand the appeal. This complex game is one of the best and most addictive freeware titles I've played.
You can train monkeys to collect food for you, once you've sorted out your survival, and you can pluck cotton straight from the tropical sheep littered about the land. At first it's extremely difficult - punching crabs does nothing, and scratching at trees gives you piles of leaves and bark - but persevere (and combine a rock and a stick to make a hammer) and you'll be building primitive shelters, storage areas, and camp fires.Ĭombine objects you find to create or improve your tools, use these tools to rapidly gather resources, and go from being a bearded Tom Hanks-type man, dragging logs across the island one at a time, to a master of the wilderness, harnessing nature's power to your own dastardly ends, like an evil Ray Mears. Once you're not immediately about to die, you go about creating a semblance of a lifestyle in the harsh environment. So Stranded II struck a chord with me, because in it you're lost on a desert island and must find the bare necessities before you die of exposure. I also couldn't go back down, so I stayed there on the cliff for a while. The second time I was on a cliff again, and I was trying to climb up when I became paralysed with fear and couldn't go any higher.
The first time I waded out really far along a cliff face in Majorca and stood on a rock and cut my foot and the saltwater stung it, and then the sand on the beach made it sting even more.
