Risky Woods

STORY / GAMEPLAY
The hero of the game is Rohan, a young man who tries to save some deities that were put prisoners inside some stones (!) Rohan's enemies are numerous ancient warriors and skeletons who try to prevent him from saving the gods, so his quest is quite hard. Rohan must also face a more dangerous enemy; the potential fall from a platform which will instantly kill him and will decrease the total coins he gathers. Rohan's weaponry is limited to knives, boomerangs and a few other throwing weapons. Remember to throw your projectiles quickly towards the enemies since they sometimes attack in groups! Each time an enemy is downed it drops one or more coins. These coins (existing only in the Sega Megadrive version) are used to increase your armor's strength (rather than paying at shops and upgrade your weaponry as in the Amiga, ST and PC versions.)

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Technically the Amiga version is good with nice graphics, backgrounds and way more detail compared to the ST. In some cases it's a better version compared to the MS-DOS! The game on the Amiga has a multi-colored background. The entire background layer is created using sprites and the background pattern repeats every 64 pixels which is done using four 16-color sprites and redrawing them horizontally across each line! The scrolling is smooth and the sprites move faster than any other version. Soundwise, the Amiga version has a remarkable intro tune along with several sampled sound effects but, surprisingly, no music at the same time (you can choose either sound effects or music on the options)!
