Citadel: part 7 FINAL

Messing with a dictator's plans.

[@MrJtappin]

I must have been 10 years old when I played this. I was more of an explorer than a completionist but I must have got very close to finishing without even knowing! I think I started making a map too

[@MaxSedgley]

Thank you so much for this...I got soooo close to finishing in 1984 and it's only now that I find out what happens.

[@anthonyhull7332]

Thanks for the video. I played this as a child, wandering about, totally confused but enjoying myself. It's closure to see it played through (although I'm not motivated enough to do it myself!). I loved this game so much.

This was a great game back in the day. I had it for the Electron though and that had "garbage" on the bottom and top of the screen due to memory limitations. You made that exciting in the end because you're extremely wasteful with your energy! I used to play through the game to try and improve the amount of energy I had left at the end; I think my record was something like 300 energy or so.

[@soupdragon151]

Yes I remember the electron "garbage" as well

[@AcornElectron]

27 on the seacut this time ☺️. Thanks for this, saved me a few hours playing the game again myself 🤣🤣

[@leonstraycat]

Memories thanks man

[@berusplants]

Cheers for the memories mate

Amazing videos man, i finally feel like i have some closure! I must've spent years playing this and can't remember where i threw the towel in but i know i never figured the bit out with the cannon or putting the sphinx heads down to freeze the mummies.

[@soupdragon151]

I did actually use some kind of cheat to complete it as as they said in the BBC Micro magazine at the time it lets you see parts of the game you wouldn't ever see otherwise and I never had the timing or dexterity to complete it like this guy plus theres so much repetition and no saving at all you like all games of the era its really hard you die you restart

If you watch riksweeney's run one of the things he doesn't do is use the bucket of water to get up the chimney. I don't quite know how he gets the Central Castle crystal either since he doesn't visit the crystal room. It's a bit odd I was getting nervous for you at the end there as your health counted down!!

[@bmxonthemoon]

Did you know you can take a trampoline to the far east (where the fireball is) and jump into the title screen?

[@KatieRoseine]

+bmxonthemoon Ah cool :) I like little things like that in games. It reminds me of one of the Dizzy games where you could do something similar.

[@burrowsgod]

that takes me back a few years,nice one,i never finished this game,im sure their was some kind of cash prize being offered at the time for completion.well done.

[@chriswills7751]

I think the prize was for finding the 3 secret crowns and sending in the co-ordinates of the rooms they were in.

[@burrowsgod]

@@chriswills7751 the acorn electron was great as a kid..loved it.

[@pappachook]

Ahh well that's the fun over for now. Well done on a most enjoyable commentary and walkthrough. Whats next??

[@ForViewingOnly]

Superb, epic walkthrough. Would have been a bit dull without the fun freestyle rambling commentary :)
