Zool was cool
He was no fool
And his game ruled
Fo Shool
First Bubsy and now this. Whats next Aero the Acrobat?
mediocre platformers that were released on 16 bit computers, super frog, mr nuts, james pond and a whole pile of other crappy ones.
Since it came out?Since when is this shitty game considered as a classic ?
noting its "absurdly" high difficulty.
Amiga gamers hyped it up as it was the supposed sonic killer, so if it's nothing or turd of course they are gonna love it. It's not like the amiga has a stellar library of platformers to begin with. And no i don't hate the amiga i love it's library some of my all time faves are on that system but i played enough of the dross to know that when it comes to platformers it's pretty shit.Since it came out?
Fuck yeah boogermanHey, alright.
Zool was pretty cool, but you know what? Bring back Boogerman.
C'mon, do it.
Well I wouldn't be honest if I were to vehemently keep defending this game, since, tbh, I don't really remember much about it after all this time. I'll be playing the Steam version for sure, though.Amiga gamers hyped it up as it was the supposed sonic killer, so if it's nothing or turd of course they are gonna love it.

1990s gaming mascot Zool to return in ‘Zool Redimensioned’
Let's do the time warp, again
Classic 1990s platforming hero Zool is set for a comeback, with a surprise remake of the original Amiga game coming to PC.
Zool Redimensioned will arrive on Steam from August 18, developed by Sumo Digital Academy and published by Secret Mode. The project is the result of Sumo’s talent development programme, which focuses on providing more routes into the games industry, with the team receiving guidance from the developers who worked on the original.
Half of Secret Mode’s revenue from Zool Redimensioned will go back to the Sumo Digital Academy, to support further student initiatives.
Redimensioned is shaping up to be a classic, or ‘old school’, platforming experience. Secret Mode described the game, saying “Help Zool jump, spin, and shoot his way across eight alien worlds, taking down menacing bosses and saving the universe from the nefarious influence of Krool.”
Redimensioned is further described as having been “rebuilt from the ground up for modern audiences”. The game will feature 28 platforming challenges, seven “completely redesigned” boss fights, and “new secrets, challenges, and extras” to uncover. The game will also support achievements on Steam, with 25 to unlock.
For players who might remember the original version – which was notoriously tough – Redimensioned will feature two game modes. The eponymous “Redimensioned” offers a more accessible modern experience, while “Ultimate Ninja” maintains a “true hardcore” challenge.
There are also quality of life enhancements, including level select, progress checkpoints, and accessibility options. There will be the option to play the original Mega Drive version of the game as well.
The original Zool game was developed by the now-defunct Gremlin Graphics, and was first launched on the Amiga in 1992. Described as the “Ninja from the Nth Dimension!” Zool himself looked rather more like an anthropomorphic ant. Nevertheless, his debut proved popular and the game was ported to almost a dozen platforms, including the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo.

Damn... What if Zool is the last Smash character?
Not when there's Oscar and Aero the Acrobat. Take your PC mascots to the trash when we have all this Amiga quality.Skunny Squirrel revival please.
Skunny is abjectly terrible, that's the joke.Not when there's Oscar and Aero the Acrobat. Take your PC mascots to the trash when we have all this Amiga quality.
The joke was me being sarcastic those other games were better than skunny.Skunny is abjectly terrible, that's the joke.
Amiga fandom could reach such levels of cringe.
This is true as there aren’t many options so the best platform game is pretty average. Btw, the console isn’t as shitty as AVGN made to be. There is a reason why it is highly collectible and there are games released till this day.Whats with these old terrible platformers getting new light? Is it because Youtubers keep going over these?
First Bubsy and now this. Whats next Aero the Acrobat?
Why not revive Gex or Croc? Games that were fun.
You realize that isn't saying much right?
Wow. I thought that kind of marketing died with the 2600.No one asked for this.
Zool was a not very good game designed to sell candy. This remake looks weird too, zoomed out instead of higher res.
I kinda like this idea where new devs take some old forgotten game and do a modern remake as a way of cutting their teeth.The project is the result of Sumo’s talent development programme, which focuses on providing more routes into the games industry, with the team receiving guidance from the developers who worked on the original.

Ninjabread Man reportedly started development as a planned third entry in the Zool series, a 2D platforming series released for the Amiga.
Come on, it was praised by dedicated Amiga magazines only. This paragraph from Wikipedia is far from describing a "classic".Since it came out?
Yeah, that Nintendo Hard trope was clearly baptized by Americans. Amiga Hard would be more accurate.Like... every. Single. Fucking. Amiga. Game.
