Hmmm... I guess my entire Genesis collection must be filed under "G". I wonder how I'm going to work that out?

That would be pretty awesome, however, I didn't say I wish I had a cult, just a statue somewhere so I can be recognised as the beckon of hope for humanity.Quote:

As incredibly hard as it is, it's still fun and those death animations are gory and beautiful.
Haha, that's Will Harvey's way of saying that you're his...Quote:

Great game! I never bought the game but I did bring it home a lot when I was working at this mom and pop video store back in my college days. It was also one of the few Genesis games in the shop that never got rented.
Sorry to bump this but I figured this would be the place to ask for help on this game since the two FAQs I found don't seem to describe the combat controls. The combat is my main problem with the game, I just don't know how it works or have any tips or ideas on how to fight properly.
I enjoy the game I just need help with combat.
The joy of obtaining this game was quickly exchange with absolute loathing for life itself, after 5 minutes of this. I remember trying it on emulator, a few years back, thinking sure, it's bound to be better, right? Wrong.
This game is horrendous, and it loves to punish more than it plays nice. It's like a parent who favours beatings over hugs.
I think I fell to the worm in the first room also. I hate this game.
Great review, I really love this game, played it on my NES back when I was a kid.
this one and the game equinox on the nes with the bleu wizard
ooh my god i spend houers on these games to finish it and it cost me a new nes control
hi everyone :)
i noticed that the japanese version came out 2 years later than the US / EU ones... so, is there some in-game differences between those versions?
I love this game.
I've been wondering: How many alternate routes / choices, are there, in this game?
For example, I know about two plot-points, where you can make a choice, which creates different effects for later.
1. The goblin king asks for help, when he's dying. If you you help him, he'll give you hints for the last screen of that stage. If not, he'll later remember you, and take one of your lives, the next time you see him.
2. The 2nd alternate story choice, that I know about: Later, when the woman asks you for her item. If you give it to her, at the very end, she will rescue you. If you don't give her the item, apparently, at the end, you'll instead get rescued by a goblin, instead of her. (I haven't verified this myself, but I've read it.)
...
So I wonder if there are other alternate routes / choices like that, hidden in the game?
By the way, the NES version has a couple little secrets which don't seem present on Genesis.
-- NES has an actual coffee pot, as a collectible item, which gives the wizard a super-speed, apparently.
-- NES also has a hallway which contains the developers who worked on the game. Genesis seems to have the same hallway, but it's just empty. (Which always leaves me wondering if there's some secret in that empty hallway!)
...
I do think it's very possible that there are still more secrets, undocumented, in The Immortal.
The game never had a huge following, and it doesn't really encourage tons of exploration of different choices.
This port of one of the Apple fans' everywhere fav games is hard, but somewhat it's hilariously so - no, seriously: it has a wicked sense of humour - and always makes me want to play it again, even if I've never made it past the second level (even if the manual has a walkthrough of the first level, actually playing it is still hard).
It's so basic, yet so challenging (the core gameplay is pure trial and error, the fights are just button mashers, I still have to learn how to get out of the Atari 2600 ET-like pits: I know the controls - 3 times up - but not how to apply them) and visually appealing, with its gruesome, over-the-top deaths and its Hero Quest-like mise en scène and Will Harvey's [and Co.] unashamed trolling of the player… The more I play it, the more I like it.
That said, the music is terrible. Not because of how it sounds: it does sound well. It's just that it's soooooooooo boooooooring…
