Risky Woods Reviews

Only for those who want to revisit those old times, where games didn't take more than a couple of megas, or even less. This game is 30 years old!

Well, it's not bad, although it could be better for redefining keys and allowing my Logitech F310 to work properly. I know most hardcore gamers prefer the WASD keys for the basic movement instead of the cursor keys. But I'm a retro gamer and have habitually gotten used to the cursor keys like I used for those 8-bit and 16-bit computer games like this game. Also, I would like to see if they could have a remake for Amiga AGA or CD32 if possible. Because it was disappointing that not all Amiga games like this one never had the chance to use more colours rather than 32 colours. It was sad that both the newer A1200 and Atari Falcon didn't make a huge success as their computers didn't gain them enough profit and ended up in a dead heat as both the Commodore founder Jack Tramiel - who was CEO of Atari Corporation after he left Commodore in 1984 after his business vendetta against Irving Gould from Commodore. Anyway, so please can we have Risky Woods in AGA and maybe eliminate some of the flaws like the <<< and poison apple items? Also, I used to own the Risky Woods 1991 Amiga Beta version that didn't have those bad items. But using the WHDLoad for Risky Woods Amiga OCS/ECS does have the hack option to remove those bad item effects which is ridiculous. And one more thing, I think I remember in Stage 5 in the start that the first Eye-Key is unreachable and that the monster door curses the player to teleport to that unreachable platform and remove 5 or 6 health points - which seems daft. Although I believe that Dinamic Software had financial struggles and was bankrupt on the same year this original game was released. I don't know much about how the Ruiz brothers struggled, but to be honest I did wonder if EA had published their games badly...

This is 2nd worst version, after the st version. They didn't even give us the special edition dos version, which is twice as smooth. Where's the Amiga version... The BEST version? I've seen all the other version and the Amiga version is the best I think at this point, the devs should remaster the amiga version and improve the hit detection. 1. Amiga 2. Genesis (I have this game on switch and evercade it has gameplay differences), 3. Dos special edition, 4. Dos 5. ST. Maybe they can put all these versions in one pack. and if they make a remaster, maybe put them all in that as a bonus Maybe call it Risky Woods Remix. At the very least, Release the Amiga version plz. If it has to be emulated, the A500 is too slow, It needs A1200 emulation and I've only seen it working on FS UAE
