Subject: Bizarre

 

I've posted it, feel free to rip it apart, I'm beyond caring. Anyway
here is "Bizarre" the wonder game I described all those years ago,
now can all witness the game I loved to hate for yourselves. As you
play it you will probably be able to spot when the inspiration
started to fade. If you all really like it though I will be surprised.

List of Apologies:

I apologise for

The unbalanced gameplay beyond the traintracks.

The complete lack of effort in the final 5 rooms.

The badly put together cut scenes.

The Linear nature of the game, and the fact that if you haven't got
all the items by the time you reach the final room you can't go back.

The inconsistent Readme. Which is probably loaded with typos and
senseless babble beyond the halfway mark.

The end sequence which was going to have the respective sprites from
those rooms sleeping (however I must admit although unflattering I
still kinda like it partially because it almost worked out how it was
supposed to even though it's short of a few ideas).

The rubbish title screen which bares no resemblance to my original
design.

It's official I have no love for this game now even the good rooms
(by my standards) make me wish I'd never started it. I feel dodgy
putting my name to it. But then again even the best artists paint a
stickman sometimes.

Enjoy (If you can haha)

cheers

DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!
