Amiga Power controversy Amiga Power magazine declared this to be the greatest Amiga game of all time in 1991, and controversially repeated this in their list compiled in early 1992, suggesting that titles like Formula 1 Grand Prix, Jimmy White's Whirlwind. I really wanted to love this game, but today I lowered my rating for this game from an 8 (mainly based on memories from my youth) to a 5. Trivia 1001 Video Games Rainbow Islands appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott. Not a lot of fun.Īdd to this some questionable collision detection at times, certainly when things get a bit crouded on screen and I think you get a dissapointing game.

If you are playing this game for points + reaching all the secret areas, I think that the strategic element of killing enemies in a certain way and place on screen to get the right diamonds is making the game less fluent and well. There were more players who complained about this. And quite often, the top of the rainbow you're climbing is the place an enemy is waiting for you. This is the case when jumping and not being able to evade enemies unexpectinghly falling from the top of the screen or even worse, when your character is strolling on to a rainbow, even if you don't want to, causing you not being able to move while your character is doing so. There are so many cheap deaths, mainly when you want to evade an incoming enemy, but you're not capable of moving because your character is still finishing his previous move. ![]() I find the controls very unresponsive and unintuitive. After playing this game quite a few times during the LemonAmiga-competion, I find this one of the least fun game I played in quite a while. I always thought that I really liked this game in my youth, although I mostly played this on my C64. ![]() Precursor to Parasol Stars: The Story of Rainbow Islands IIĪrcade, cute, fantasy, hotseat, platform, scrolling, sideways, timelimit, vertical

![]() There is a new foe that is exceptionally hard to defeat, the large octopus. Most of the pests are normal and you just smack them until they die and leave you experience points. One thing I noticed that is different is with the pests. You are able to buy upgrades to your surroundings, as in making the plants demand less water, making the plants grow and bloom faster, and more. For example killing pests, watering plants, and gathering flowers. You are able to use your gathered experience points to upgrade different aspects of the game. You use your gathered flowers to make bouquets to sell. You protect your plants from the pests and keep them watered. You plant different plants and gather the flowers. This one is quite a bit like the last one as far as how the game runs but the plants and surroundings are all different and there are a couple of new things. May not be for everyone but well worth trying!īack to the farm!!! First off, I have the other Magic Farm games and I still replay them off and on. After adjusting the in game sound I realized it was the same mild tones as in the earlier games. ![]() * turn the sound effects down: at first it seemed they had put in some horrible blaring sound for the end of day. *the upgrades are available from the start, need to click on each to see a description then can use (looked to me like they were locked) * first farm is in a river so something of a logic error to water the plants but that is a minor issue * not quite as clear about how the farm works as in the earlier versions (but once you get going its fine) * lots of chatter - have to click through a lot of talk (previous games had more info in a single dialog window) * bugs are now humorous (dragonflies have glasses, clams flutter like a butterfly) Cant wait to see the other farms and what sort of plants they have! You earn some improvements (like selling bouquets not just individual flowers) by completing tasks so there is more to discover as the game goes on. Looking forward to many hours of game play.Īs someone else noted, its intense during a farm day but you get a chance to relax and take your time selling bouquets and setting up your farm. I've been getting very involved in it, which is what I want from a game. Then decided to get it and am glad I did. The Magic is back! I've got the first 2 Magic Farm games and wasn't sure I wanted another. |
