About the game:
The Adventures of Quik & Silva is a platform video game originally released on May 10, 1991, in the UK for the Amiga and Atari ST. The game was developed by members of Kaiko pseudonymously as New Bits On The RAM (Possibly a play on New Kids on the Block) and was first published as a covermounted disk in Amiga Fun magazine. The game was made available in 1992 as public domain software, with the Amiga version reviewed in issue 18 of Amiga Power.
The various enemies in the game are based on characters from other titles, such as Bubble Bobble, Nebulus, R-Type, and Super Mario. As the game was released as a cover-disk game, it was able to avoid possible copyright infringement for a few months. The game was not available outside of the UK during its cover-disk release and only started to gain traction when it had become public domain software.
This game is also notable for being the first home video game to feature Sonic the Hedgehog, in an unofficial capacity, as an enemy.
The title was built in two weeks by three people, allowing New Bits On The RAM to publish and ship the title almost immediately. The game spans eight levels, following two alternating styles of overworld and underground.
About the run:
Wow what a grind...not sure if the game is really that hard or I am just to old for this.
This took me so many attempts so got a decent deathless run. Music is awesome it really carries you through the game. Some sections of the Levels are kinda unfair and require pixel perfect jumps.
Especially Level 07 was my main nemesis and I lost a lot of time there, but I had to play it save.
Overall its an okay game, but very good for a speedrun at least.
