My sister and I were OBSESSED with this game when we were kids. Need to go back and replay it.

This god damn game ๐Ÿ˜‚
I never finished this one, and it is on the list.

I remember that it had lots of really obtuse collectibles, which are sometimes alluded to, and other times they are not.

Like in the first stage, if you use the crashed rocketโ€™s engines to incinerate a sheep corpse, you get a special thing. I only knew about that because it was in a magazine.

Definitely have mixed feelings about going back to that one when I get a chance ๐Ÿ˜‚

I never played this one.
I love hidden stuff like that. But I can see how it might become infuriating when trying to 100% it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Is the percentage totally independent of the X/5 scores above it? It looks like they add up to the score but 3+3+5+4=15 and 15x5=75

I have no idea.
Some do this while others donโ€™t.
Iโ€™m not a fan of doing so as Iโ€™m of the belief that a game is more than the sum of its parts so making it a simply calculation just feels wrong to me.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I completely agree. Some of the best games of all time would lose a lot of points in a category or two but when viewed as a whole deserve a perfect score while some mediocre games are technically good in a lot of categories.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I also really think game devs that think of their game as a sum of its parts make much worse games than those who have a vision of the project as a whole.

My mind immediately went to modern day Ubisoft. ๐Ÿ‘€
