This game has already been longplayed once before, but with SFX instead of music as you could only select one of them (common in many Amiga games). So, I went with music this time as that's what I prefer anyway when I can only choose between one of them (also much shorter loading times and other things that makes this one better than the old one by someone else :P)
Recorded this at work, didn't have access to my IPF tosec, so ran with a cracked version from online. Had some broken graphics, like when turning left while climbing a rope. The other longplay had the same errors. Will fire up the IPF (non-altered, original floppy) version later and update this comment to see if it's like that in the IPF as well. UPDATE: didn't have an IPF version of this game, only several other ADFs, so didn't bother to try them.
You could draw stuff after completing the game, which was a bitch to do as the mouse cursor doesn't behave like it does in Windows outside the emulator. Moving the mouse what should be 1 pixel up could be everything from 1-4 pixels, the other directions also had their own poor accuracy. So, I sped up the process so you don't have to wait the 8 mins or so it took originally. Could have drawn the same thing in a fraction of that time in Paint in Windows where the mouse behaves like it should.
Lame they didn't include better colors, a decent skin tone or even WHITE. At first I try the DRAW, LINE, and BLOCK buttons and it didn't change anything, I still drew just dots (even tried the right mouse button). I found out later that to draw a line or a block, I first need to click once somewhere with left mouse button, THEN with the right and a few pixels away or I wouldn't notice the difference. So, I show that after I'm done drawing my picture.
I wonder if the picture will show on the screens in Level 3 at 08:51. Didn't feel like playing to that point again so was trying the cheat to get unlimited lives, which I couldn't get to work. Wouldn't help much anyway as it's unlimited power I need (3 "P" (Power) = 1 "L" (Lives)), because when you've been hit 3 times, you start at the beginning of the stage (with one life less of course), which sucks.
(edit: checked the manual - yup, the picture would have been displayed on level 3 if I played to that point again).
