The Game with No Name description

A forgotten artifact of unknown origin. Plot: the future, the hero makes an emergency landing on a distant hostile planet and have for several levels to collect diamonds to repair his ship and replenish fuel reserves (what?!).

To play this game is almost impossible. The reason for that was terrible (never thought I'd say this, but in this case it is) graphics (as a whole-it could be a normal – CGA, 16 colors), the main drawback of which is often unclear just what is going on on the screen (and it seems like such a bad drawing done on purpose). You can usually only distinguish between the diamonds and the hero, presented in the form of a white funny creatures, names which do not come up with exactly the same as the game itself. With all this, the complexity of the game higher (the authors argued that it is the most complex of all games that have ever been, so does not even need full name) any notes during the game is not given, can not be maintained, and the slightest mistake leads to death and returns to the hero at the beginning of the level.

Who to recommend this game – hard to say. Probably only the most "crazy" (in a good way) oldgamer ready to cope with anything, even that. However, posted this game on our website too, just to illustrate the fact that "it happened and that's that."
