By Rebelstar without a
cause
Genre: Adventure sauce
Mountains of Ketchup (a pun on the ZX Spectrum adventure classic Mountains of Ket of course) marks Rebelstar’s 15th entry to this year’s CGC. First impressions suggest a rather simple poorly presented BASIC adventure (though is faithful to Ket’s layout) but don’t be fooled – still condiments run deep.
I like the use of action keys instead of typing commands, and the fact there is no limit on how much you can carry (though I’m not sure if I could carry a lawnmower and a mine detector at the same time in reality).
I’m not going to spoil the surprise but in addition to the simple text puzzles, there are some built in arcade style mini-games embedded in MOK which brought the biggest smile to my face.
Mountains of ketchup is tinged with tripe but is an excellent kernel of an idea that I’d love to see expanded upon. I have to say I was disappointed it finished so quickly!
It’s crap, but play it, really – it’s great.
Thankyou Rebelstar!
