A 'remake' of an old game,Great Giana sistersmin this case it's the C64 version,only now it's on DOS,nice graphics and music,but it suffers from slightly cramped game play,so jumping can be difficult and you have to gauge where you fall if you don't want to be corned by a caveman,also you have to jump over objects but there's a two level jump so you can hit your head and then miss a gap because of it,enemies are placed on the screen but they feel leaden and put there just to give some resistance.
There's a forced scrolling thing where if you walk across the screen and it scroll you can't go back past the screen you're on so that's quite annoying.
You have a pick up to allows an unlimited shooting power but if you die you lose everything,so that's a bit crap.
This game had only 4 levels,so i don't know if this was a demo,so that's a bit of a let down.
it does pay excessive homage to the Great Giana sisters which it's based on,and it doesn't really add anything over the original game except better graphics and music.
One last thing and it's something that's rather odd,when ever you pick up a power up the character jumps up,and for a frame or two she's stark naked,aside from that,her chest bounces up and down when she runs.
What's more,if you screen recorded the game you'd stumble upon the almost and quite well hidden frames where she's naked.
Seeing as it's a remake and more than 15 years after the game it's based on was released,you could say it's aimed at adults that maybe played the original game years before,but also an under aged gamer might play it,seeing the if ever so briefly naked girl,aside from that's it's ok for what it is,if not a for it being somewhat creepily sexist.
