Lupo Alberto

Stop the press!

Late last night, I found an interesting post on AtariAge by Philsan concerning an unreleased game called Lupo Alberto. This is a platformer that (I think) is based on a European comic or a TV show. Well, after 25 years of lurking in unreleased hell, the ST version gets to see the light of day (now listed on AtariMania)

First impressions are good with cartoon visuals and cute sprites roaming about - just look at those chickens!! However, it's push-scrolling, which is a severe shame because the game's mechanics demand scrolling. Well, it is unfinished, so I shouldn't complain too much, and the push technique is fast and zippy...

Gameplay is tricky for this cute platformer, so I imagine lots of frustration ahead of me. I'm delighted we have this rescued, and I look forward to giving Lupo a proper run for its money tonight!

Update: during a game, press CTRL and type: otrebla. Thanks to Luca Stradiotto!!
