C64 Giana Sisters Description
C64 Giana Sisters, One of the best arcade games ever.
The game is a 2D side-scrolling arcade game in which the player controls either Giana.
Each level contains a number of dream crystals, which, when collected, give points to make the game's high score.
An extra life can be gained by collecting 100 dream crystals. Extra lives can also be found in the form of hidden "Lollipop" items.
Enemies can be defeated by jumping on them or shooting them after obtaining the relevant power-ups.
The enemies include owls, rolling eyeballs, flesh-eating fish and deadly insects.
The "fire wheel" transforms Giana into a punk with the ability to crush rocks by jumping and hitting them from below.
The "lightning bolt" awards Giana "dream bubbles", a single projectile shot. "Double lightning" gives her the ability to shoot recoiling projectiles.
"Strawberries" give her the ability to shoot homing projectiles. There is one defensive item in the game, the "water drop", which protects Giana against fire.
A number of special items can also be triggered that affect the entire screen, such as the "clock", which freezes all enemies on-screen, and the "magic bombs", which kill all enemies. These items are found in the item blocks scattered around the stages.
Some deep mines are flooded, forcing players to hover safely above the water. In later levels, monsters strike out from below the water. Some mine sections are illuminated by lanterns. If the lantern is somehow destroyed, the layout of that section becomes invisible. Exploding dynamite lights up the mine for a brief time.
For everyone who likes or used to play the C64 / ZX Spectrum / Atari / Apple II / MSX / BBC Micro / Acorn Electron games.
This game brings back old times, is completely off-line playable and is lot's of fun.
Enjoy it as much as we do!
