Game description:
Black Lamp is a platform game in which you have to find and collect several colored lamps and bring them back, one by one, to a case located in the first room. There are also several types of bonuses to collect along the way, and many enemies and creatures (some flying) to fight off. The ultimate goal is to bring all the colored lamps back to the case, including the elusive Black Lamp.
The Black Lamp world is presented as a collection of rooms, all connected with ladders and/or doors, as well as outside areas where you must defend yourself by shooting or avoiding the attacking creatures.
The graphics are very sharp and colorful, and all fireplaces, candles and torches are animated.
What I think:
It's not bad, but it's certainly not good either.
This game had potential to be a good game, but they killed ruined it by having really horrible jumping controls and that you lose a lot of life if you fall from a high platform.
