Title: Help finding this game!
Post by: Xyphoe on 10:58, 05 August 14
I'm helping out a friend trying to work out what this game is. Something he played in his childhood and loved, but can't figure out the title!

Here's the description I've been given -

"French game set in a prison, you only sneak out at night because in the daytime robots kill you instantly"

Any ideas guys? Sorry that's not much to go on. :(

Thanks!

Maybe Eden blues/Doomsday blues

Seems like an interesting game and not one I've heard of.  I may give that a go later.

Doomsday or Eden Blues potentially a good game let down by being too hard you lost your vital energy too fast.

Yeah it seems like a good game that's flawed cos of that but is there a poke or something that can 'fix' it?

It took me years to understand how to play Doomsday blues , day and night is very important in this game , if you go out of the cell block in day then you lose energy in seconds, you need to time it exactly right. Once you have this sorted It makes the game reasonably manageable.  I am trying to work out the maze of rooms at the moment .

Haha! In this case it's really an advantage to own the original. The docs literally help a LOT.  :)

Yea, it almost works as a kind of protection against piracy.  :)

Sadly, it results in games with good "protection" getting lousy ratings because "they suck".

That happened to me with Gunship. Had the English Crack and liked the game so much that I bough the original - which was French.  :o 


Today you can get the Doomsday Blues from the great cpc-power in English. Thanks to Kukulkan and others.  :)
