Zool (Amiga) - A Playguide and Review - by LemonAmiga.com
91Zool is a platform shooter with a great sense of speed and urgency, with neat graphics, memorable music and lots of jumping fighting action. Is this game under-rated for just over-hyped??
Production Notes:
=============
Ripped: 14.7.2014 and 20.7.2014 (2nd boss)
Started: 16.7.2014
Completed: 23.7.2014
Version: 4 Revision 5
This review was supposed to help those in the Lemon competition but it seems I got my dates wrong, and since North and South was scheduled for last weekend I missed the opportunity to use this video as intended. After being defeated by the 2nd world boss I then went back a week later and recorded the boss defeat and 3.1. This was AFTER I have already reached level 4.1 in the compo itself and gained 400k+ score.
The edit was strange in the a lot of small bugs ruined the video, and it took 5 re-plays and 5 more revisions before most of the annoying bugs were fixed. The zoom in the Venus Flytrap and Litil Divil overlays kept sticking and spoiling the effect. I fixed the Venus zoom eventually but removed the Litil Divil effect as I couldnt get both to work together in the same edit. The rips themselves were good quality, but due to upgrading my Camtasia Studio to Version 8.1 I discovered they had changed the output format, meaning some of the clean footage was rendered very pixelated. I tried to render the raw footage in several ways until a clean conversion was made, but still I see pixellated chunks in the video - which is very annoying.
The other delays revolved around clicking audio and trying to remove clicks sometimes made words jam together and mess up. I changed 'Invincible' to 'Invulnerable' and removed and then put back the line about 200 items needing to be collected, after I saw the items give bonuses sometimes every item and sometimes one in every two.
I got much further in the SEU section in my normal play but I inserted a section into the SEU part to extend it a little bit - although I went double this distance by taking the 'below' route in real life, I just happened to have a recording of another (longer) play so that went it. I could have made guides to 3.1 to the 3rd world boss; but its the same format as 3.1 and I didnt want the video to be too long; and I tried to keep it to 30mins + the extra boss fight and 3.1 level.
In the end I gave up on the edit when it became apparent that the very small bugs remaining would take too long and would be too boring to fix, and I had to draw a line under it somewhere.
