Johnny Quest is an action-adventure game with beat-em-up sequences. This
game is based on the Hanna-Barbera animation series The Adventures of Jonny Quest of
1964. Jonny is bright young fellow with a talent for judo-fighting, defeating evil
creatures and generally doing heroic things normally not suited for 14-year-old boys.
When mayan idols disappear in the South American rain forest, the Team Quest sets out
to comb through the jungle and a couple of temples. Gameplay is divided into two
parts: On the top-down map of the forest and the temples, Jonny and his friend Hadji
search for useful items and solve puzzles. If they encounter an adversary, the game
switches to a side-view. Jonny's then got to defeat his opponent in classical
beat-em-up-style with a variety of punches and kicks. After a short time, Hadji and
the dog Bandit appear on the scene and help Jonny by casting spells (Hadji) and
dragging the enemy around (Bandit). If you lose, you'll get two additional chances;
after that, it's hasta la vista. All main actions (talk, look around, access
inventory) are performed via the F-keys; more sophisticated possibilities like using
items involve strings of F-key/direction key usage. The puzzles are of the 'find
item, use item' variety. |
