Grandad 2: In Search of the Sandwiches
======================================
We couldn't review Grandad and the Quest for the Holey Vest
without reviewing its sequel, now could we? No. Well, here
is Grandad's sequel; Grandad 2: In Search of the Sandwiches.
Grandad was fed up with staying indoors all the time. So, he
decided it was time to get out a bit. On his way to the
local theme park, Funland, a sales man done a part exchange
with him - he swapped his wheelchair for a brand new,
sparkling, 3mph tricycle. Brilliant eh? Well, anyway. He got
to the theme park, paid a huge £2.50 to get in, and sat down
for a while. After he'd had a nice look around, he came out
again, and sat around for a little while in the other park,
which you don't have to pay for. Just as he realised he
was getting hungry, he remembered he had left his sandwiches
in Funland, and because he's a stingy old man, bless him, he
doesn't want to pay £2.50 to go in again. In fact, he
doesn't have £2.50 to go in again, so you must help him get
back into Funland, and solve puzzles to help him find his
sandwiches.
This sequel is even better. There are now loads of sampled
sounds like birds singing, toilets flushing and flashers
flashing. Well, not quite the latter, but anyway.... There
are also loads of new people to talk to; Quentin Shinyring -
the guy in the men's toilets who's the other way inclined, a
rather sadistic tourist, a fisherman, a tramp.... the list
is endless. The graphics are even better, and thankfully,
the charge level which appeared in the original Grandad has
been discarded.
The puzzles have become a little harder, but this is no bad
thing; there's nothing worse than completing a game in one
day. Grandad 2 is also Shareware, and to enter Funland, a
protection matrix from Ian Scott is required. This costs £8,
but is definitely worth it as a lot of hard work has gone
into the game.
What about a Grandad 3 I hear you ask? Well, unfortunately,
this will never happen. Ian Scott has since moved onto the
PC and therefore Grandad 3, if it does come out, will appear
on that format. Oh well, you never know - we might release a
Grandad 3 for the ST!
