Player's Review
My favorite "Fun School" title. It's pretty well done, compared to the other ones.
Has a weird resolution. I'm sure 320x200 would be OK, but went with a bit wider as there's graphics outside the 320 pixels-range that wouldn't show otherwise (mainly the boat on the far right side on the map). You can see how it kinda glitches in the corners when scrolling, as those parts are maybe not shown normally, thus you would normally not see the whole boat/ship, or maybe you would. Dunno what it would be like on a real Amiga. I just emulate
You get gold for each thing you answer correctly. You can play as many times as you want and really rack up that gold number. When he shows you how much you've earned, I was curious if the amount coming from his wand was accurate, so checked each frame in the video and counted the coins, and yup. Also random placement on the ground, so no fixed amounts (like 10-20 coins = certain animation, 21-30 another one). Which made me wanna memory hack and make that number to 999 to see him spray that shit for a while. But I'm sure the area they can land on is not that big/wide, and he would still just cast a few each time (so not really "spray", but said it anyway), so not one cast = LOADS, so didn't bother trying. But... might. If I do, I'll put a link to the video here.
After completing one of the thingies, I fail to show what happens. But not all of the levels have a "victory" or fail animation.
01:49 - The bitch asked me how much the sword weigh, but there are TWO swords. I guessed correctly anyway.
The big door on the right of the castle is "Tally", it just takes you to the room where Merlin shows how much gold you've earned.
