On its Tail is incrediably similar to the chase level in Dark War, though it has the standard Extreme RoTT twist of a lot more monks and extra platforming challenges. There's only one secret and in there are the only collectibles to get there.
This level is lit up only by a the braziers at the start. Destroying them will leave the rest of the winding corridors very gloomy indeed, so it's best to clear out all the monks first before returning to engage in heroic vandalism.

The second episode of the new campaign has new developer orb to collect which makes this secret level the only significant thing you can miss. Leons Scary Basement is level that is both large and claustrophobic as well as pretty gloomy, something you can exacerbate by shooting out the lights. One of the traps in the game revolves around you doing that by mistake, making it harder to spot the enemies you alert by doing so.
Aside from the theming, this level doesnt offer anything that you havent seen before, but that doesnt mean that its not fun. After all, theres plenty of heroic vandalism to be getting on with and knowing that every thing we break hurts El Oscuros bank account brings a little smile to my face.

When Yars Revenge game out on the Atari 2600, youd of been forgiven for thinking that it was a port of a quite quirkly arcade game, but no. The game started off on consoles and youd not think from the visuals that youre a mutated spacefaring fly alien at war with an enigmatic alien race that destroyed one of your recently colonised worlds, but thats the premise.
Armed with your innate ability to fire blasters of energy and the zorlon cannon, your task is to destroy the many Qotile ships in the Razak system (a name I may have mistated as the Radox system during my playthrough) until you run out of lives. The Qotile blast projectives at you from their ship and a missile while will forever try to home on you but cant destroy you in the strange mist that is the Neutral Zone. Whether you blast the Qotile shields away or eat them, you need to reach the Qotile vessel to steal its energy, whereupon you transfer it to the zorlon cannon which can detonate the enemy craft, starting the cycle all over again.
Yars Revenge is a strange game indeed, both in visuals and gameplay, but it makes more sense when you know the premise. Whats more, it was a very fun game, as is this port for the Game Boy Colour. With enhanced visuals and a password system, this version does a good job of retaining what made the original good while building upon it. Its far from the strangest Atari 2600 game out there - Gorf exists, after all - and it hasnt quite endured the test of time other games have, but it lingers on at the edges of pop culture through it being just so very, very strange.
So, whats next? Its time to play the second entry in a series I started nine years ago. Without further ado, we shall once again become the Master Chief and do battle with the Covanent and Flood to hopefully save humanity in Halo 2 Anniversary.
See you next LP!
