Goody is a fun 2D action/adventure platformer from Spanish developer Opera
Soft. You play a small thief bent on robbing a Spanish bank. Before embarking on
this venture, you'll need to find appropriate tools for the job, including torch,
pincers, etc. Once you gather all the necessary tools, you will be ready to launch
the crime. But things are not as easy as they seem, of course. Along the way to the
bank, you will have to avoid or deal with policemen, gorillas, kung-fu experts,
weeping women, paper airplanes, and other obstacles in your way. Anyone who likes
Codemasters' classic Dizzy series will probably enjoy Goody. It is a fun game in the
"video adventure" 2D action/adventure genre that was very popular in Spain in the
80s – 90s. While the game is a traditional adventure in that you need to use inventory
items in the correct places, it also requires the same combination of good reflexes
and timing as typical platformers do. Sharp cartoon graphics with a lot of detail
(even with the limited 4-color CGA palette), smooth animations, fun puzzles, and a
charming atmosphere makes Goody well worth a look for action and adventure fans alike.
A modern Windows-based remake was made in 2004 by Coptron Games that sports excellent
SVGA graphics, sound effects, and addictive gameplay that is completely faithful to
Opera Soft's original. |
