Terry’s Big Adventure
Terry’s Big Adventure looks and feels somewhat similar to Mario’s, being a
side-scrolling platform game using stylised block graphics and lots of ledges
to climb up and around. Terry is armed with a yo-yo which can be directed as a
weapon by pushing the joystick as you hold down fire – an idea later repeated
by Trolls. On this occasion the use of the yo-yo causes Terry to recoil
slightly, so be careful that this does not push him off a ledge or into the
path of another enemy.
There are 12 levels in total, incorporating many rivers to cross as well as
hordes of hedgehogs, snails and similar to kill. Hidden bonus objects and time
extensions can be found. When you start a new game you start form the last
level you reached, so you effectively have unlimited continues.
