They say you must fight to win, that if there's no pain there can be no gain, and both this level and video hold so true to those sayings!
After 14 levels in the dark of night, ever since our capture while fleeing from Castle Erlangen - a time during which we've escaped from the Prison of Eisenfaust, infiltrated the lab after we were lucky enough to find another truck to steal for the trip, and finally shut off the Reactor prior to its total meltdown, we've arrived at the installation housing the doctor himself and it is the dawn of a brand new day. Now is the time - time for the final level of the game.
It turns out that my victory was granted on perhaps the closest call of all: 9% health, 5 bullets left, and probably less than a half a second until he fires again, kills me, and 25 minutes of effort go down the drain once more. (I should have had the second part of the boss chase me in the health/ammo secret instead, however my momentary thinking had me go another way...) But that didn't happen - the last vestiges of Josef Engelke's life faded away just in time, Atomprojekt is done, and the secret plans to deliver Hitler a most powerful weapon have been thwarted!
So here I am, signing off on Atomprojekt - and I hope you enjoyed watching it. I sure more than thoroughly enjoyed playing through it saveless - even if there were frustrating failed attempts every once in a while. :D
