THE FIST IS GOING INTO THE OTHER FACE NOW
Is this even allowed? Surely SEGA would’ve told them to NOT DO THIS and have all issues quickly removed from the shelves? Maybe that happened. We skipped the Amiga. It’s taken from issue #34 of Amiga Action.
Zool may well have stormed through briefly in 1992, but we’re assured he’s currently working a Saturday morning shift in Computer Exchange.

‘sake, do you want the login details or not?

Might want to tell Computer Exchange he won’t be able to make it next Saturday as I’ve just put some ant traps down this weekend. And if that doesn’t work and he and his mates continue to eat my window frames I shall be boiling a kettle.

Shouldn’t having a front cover like that be reserved for games that are much better than the competition rather than much worse?
Zool was a gremlin, not an ant. According to wikipedia. Do ants eat window frames? Maybe it wasn’t ants you were talking about and it was gremlins. Do gremlins eat window frames?
You can persuade ants to take a different route with pepper, I’ve heard.

There was a heated ant/not ant debate – http://everything2.com/title/Zool

If the Mighty Beings once of Amiga Power said Zool is a Ninja Ant, then he’s a bloody Ninja Ant. That is the way of things.
Dissemination of information was achieved.
*and I don’t just support them for giving me this splendid cover art for my first Amiga game:-

I wonder if anyone ever bothered to finish the shitfest that Zool was…

I got up to the candy level, then I lost that stupid cardboard wheel thing that you had to use to get past the copy protection every time you played.

Everyone talks about ice/lava levels, but I wouldn’t be surprised if candy cane levels were actually the more common. I wonder if there has been any research into the issue?

@ professor dumb: Dammit. I’d nearly erased that early attempt at DRM from my memory. That and microcosm. Now they are both back… and the nightmares will return.

I can only think of Zool and James Pond as having candy levels. Something very Amiga about them, maybe all Amiga games had them. But I haven’t done any research into it, nor do I intend to.
In other news, I live distressingly close to where Summer of Sonic is being held this year. I didn’t realise it was a venue, it looks like a long abandoned warehouse.

There was an even worse “sonic” plateformer than zool on Amiga : Kid Chaos from Ocean.
Now THAT was awful.
(Zorg, please update or I’ll have to continue with crap amiga plateformers)

Ok, I have now to remind you of Alfred Chicken, with its ear-rape of a music.
