- Ooze: Creepy nites -  
|
|
Ooze is an interactive fiction
title with added still graphics in some places. It puts you in the shoes
of a man who has just inherited a house called Carfax Abbey from you uncle.
On your way there you ask for directions but instead you are warned to keep
away from the house as it is not safe. You press on and arrive at the house
but can you find out what exactly is going on and put an end to it so you
can clame your inheritence?
The story is pretty standard but there are some unsual things about the
game. The interface is your basic text stuff but there are picture representing
certain areas when you move about, these are not needed though and you can
scroll them away if you want. Another is that you actually have to take
care of your condition as you have courage, charisma, health and hitpoints.
Some actions will increase them while others lower them, if they are too
low you cannot complete some sections and you have to especially have to
take care of your courage. The object of the game is to befriend the ghosts
that haunt Carfax Abbey and finally to destroy the demon ooze who has taken
over the place.
I was really looking forward to this game back when it was released but
I had some mixed feelings about it. The pictures don't really influence
the game but they are still loaded even though you can disable them which
is a bit annoying. The text describing everything tend to be on the long
side with a lot of irrelevant information so you will have to do a lot of
reading. The same goes for objects many of which aren't needed to complete
the game but which you can pick up anyway, this doesn't have to a bad thing
though for everyone. There are some nice touches like sound effects for
a squeeky door and laughter at some proper moments to increase the tension.
Overal the game isn't bad but it could have been better.
Overal rating: 7/10

Ooze: Creepy nites was released for several different systems here are some notes:
| Amiga |
Released
in 1989.
This is the original as far as I know and the sound effects make this
one the top choice. |
| Atari
ST |
Released
in 1989.
Though basically the same as the amiga version it uses a really weird
streched resolution which make the graphics look weird. |
| DOS |
Released
in 1989.
There is version with graphics but they are not included in this one.
You can see it by starting the game with OOZE G and there will be
an intro screen but after that is asks for disk 2 which I don't have. |
| Others |
This
version is not available.
Apparently is was released for the C64 as well but I'm not sure about
that as I have never seen it. |
