Recorded this because it has nice rating and is supposed to be very hard (which it was). Only saw one other longplay of this game, but the player used infinite lives.
A piece of text from the box cover:
"Become one of the world's five reputable explorers and experience the dangers of a hazardous journey to find Professor Eyestrain and deflect the meteor to which only he has the solution."
I chose Fortisque-Smithe as he's the one that looked more like an explorer out of the five.
Couldn't find a manual for the Amiga version, so checked the ZX Spectrum manual and it says pressing "T" = "Think" (already knew about he button as I tried all keys before looking for a manual). What this button does is showing what item can be used on the current screen/room. So, in the first screen when the game starts, I press T and he "thinks" about the vacuum cleaner, because this is the only screen it can be used. Weird the T button isn't mentioned in the in-game instructions.
The room at 06:03 changes depending on the character you play as. In my case, it's a room with cricket thingies, so I throw a cricket ball to get the E=mc2 thingy. For another character, like Henri Beacoup, he gets a room with a chasm with a line from one side to the other, and he needs to use the unicycle to get over and get the E=mc2.
Can't fly to screens left or right if I'm riding the vacuum cleaner (only screens up and down), so have to get off to go to another screen.
So, several of the items picked up were no needed as it was for other characters, but took them anyway to show more of the game.
There are several ways of dying - incinerated is the most common one, then there's wrapped up and crushed by snakes, flattened, becoming a skeleton (included that at the end to show the game over animation), aaand maybe one more... Neither is worth including (which I usually do), so only showed one.
