I have downloaded and played Manic Panic on my Next - and for that matter many of the
remakes mentioned around here.
I really like it. Here is some feedback though, which is applicable to many
recent MM / JSW clones.
I find them _all_ far too hard, especially at first, to be as enjoyable as they deserve. I realise that I am perhaps
not the master MM / JSW player here compared to the rest of you, but their difficultly level puts
me off playing. I get enjoyment from exploring in the MM/JSW universe.
Please take that in the spirit it is intended. I have finished MM & JSW without pokes, albeit with snapshots
on emulators, so I am not completely useless. I appreciate all your efforts with these games, I know you
have all slaved over writing them over many years, I do love them and thank you for your efforts. I would just
like something with the difficultly level of the original MM or JSW though. Even JSWII gets overly hard in places,
and I battled to finish that without pokes and did. How about something a bit more pastoral?
I know that you all no doubt relish the challenge of very hard MM / JSW remakes. As a good example, although
I have not finished it yet, I thought that the recent Perils of Willy struck a good balance between difficulty and enjoyment
so far, I am on level 14 I think.
I hope that helps, not criticism at all, please continue with your efforts, I will enjoy seeing how it turns out.
