C64 Longplay: Wordquest
0Reminiscent of the old arcade game Tutankham. Completed with occasional save-states and an ammo hack at 18:58 as I ran out and couldn't get any more, making it impossible to beat without dying (just one life) and going right back to the start.
The objective is to collect the boxes that contain a letter towards an anagram you have to solve at the end of each level. The higher the difficulty, the more letters you have to unscramble. At 5:55 onwards, you get all letter clues but one.
At 4:48, the programmer made a spelling error (it's "irritate" with two "r"s). I also looked in the BASIC code to get all the words and just figured it out from there.
The real pain in the arse is running into the scorpions, which seem to be on a lot of caffeine or something (I guess I could have used the "slow" speed in the menu). I don't see how this would be completable without all these cheats, to be honest.
