- Igor: objective Uikokahonia -
|
|
After the success of the
Lucasarts adventures there were sure to be game that (tried) to follow in
it's footsteps. Igor: object Uikokahonia is such a game and altough it's
not a direct clone you cannot deny it's influence once you see the game
and play it. Igor is a student and he's got a crush on Laura ,the school's
prettiest girl, ofcourse he's got no chance with her as the most popular
jock is also interested in her. The whole aim of the game is to win her
over by going to Uikokahonia, the school trip for this year.
The first problem Igor has is that his grades aren't very good so he is
not allowed to go with the school trip at the moment. So instead of doing
some hard work you decide to scam your way into the trip by manipulating
others students and the teachers. Easier said than done and you'll have
to work hard to reach that goal and even when you get on the trip you still
have to win Laur's hart. Along the way you'll also have to lead Philip (the
jock) away from her as otherwise you won't stand a chance. All this leads
to plenty of puzzle solving and people to meet and talk to.
The interface is pretty standard for adventure game with a number of options
like talk, take and use with which you can manipulate items. Underneath
is a large inventory screen with pictures depicting the things you carry,
you can also scroll this up and down. Many of the puzzles are the old use
inventory item with onscreen item but usually these are logical and not
a try everything sort of thing. There are quite a lot of pixel hunt situations
and given the fact that the graphics aren't too clear it can be difficult.
That doesn't mean the graphics are no good because most of them are good
and fairly detailed. The only thing that I found missing was a good soundtrack
because most of the game seems to be pretty silent.
Igor was the adventure game made by Pendulo studios and it's quite good
for a first try, ofcourse you cannot compare it to the big developers with
loads of cash. They released two more adventure games several years later
and I'm sure to come across them one day or another. For now though adventure
gamers who are looking for an oldschool game you can't go wrong with this.
Overal rating: 7.5/10

This game was released for one system here are some notes:
DOS |
Released
in 1994.
I wrote a solve for this game a long time ago and I seem te remember
that there was a point where the game would lock up and the only way
to get past that point was to disable sound from the setup and reload
the game. I haven't come across it in this game but if you do at least
you know what to do. |
