Frantic Freddie Returns

obrazekFrantic Freddie Returns is a remake of the Commodore 64 game ‘Frantic Freddie‘.
The game was originally created back in 1983 by Kris Hatlelid and Gregor Larson. This Arcade collect ’em up type game is in many ways very similar to classic games such as Mario and Lode Runner. You control Freddie, who runs around collecting apples over twenty levels while avoiding contact with lots of jagged toothed monsters. Each level contains several floors which are connected via ladders. These ladders act as a link between floors, the player must always climb to the upper floor.
The game is pretty tricky as the monsters can also go up and down the ladders but this adds to the difficulty factor and is more of a challenge. Not all games can be easy :) The music is particularly pleasing to the ear and is very similar to crack intro tunes on the Amiga. This remake even has a star scroller too, which makes me think that the guys who made it probably have some past experience coding demo’s back in the day?

Anyway download it, have a play and see what you think, I had a lot of fun with this one, and it also made me think about loading up the Commodore 64 version now too :)
