Retro Gaming November 2023 (0 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 2-November-2023  13:48:42 (GMT +10) - by MUTMAN

This month's "Retro Let's Play" for November are Jill of the Jungle, and Vinyl Goddess from Mars.

Jill of the Jungle is the classic DOS side scrolling platform game, and has some nice elements and is a bit hit of nostalgia for just about anyone who had a PC after 1992 as the first episode was such widely distributed shareware. Having a female protagonist was a novelty at the time, and indeed on GoG search it is the oldest release tagged with a female protagonist. It has Sound Blaster and Adlib support with some reasonable music and (loud!) sound effects. Designed and developed by none other than Tim Sweeney.

Vinyl Goddess from Mars was originally intended to be the sequel however ended up being released separately by Six Pound Sledge Studios. According to a 2009 video from LGR, the game's plot and look were changed a bit to make it more adult (seedy). The box art and menu screen confirms this direction.
