Description

My personal mini-tribute to one of my most favourite underappreciated games of all time, Mad Professor Mariarti :D

Don't worry if you've never heard of it, it was on the Acorn Archimedes in the early 90s. It's a fun little platformer where a crazy scientist's six different labs have gone out of control, and he's told to shut them all down or he'll be thrown in the loony bin (one of the most amusing game over scenes ever X3).

This is my version of right near the end of the final level, where to access the final shut down switch, the professor has to scare away the monster guarding the place, which he does by showing it its own reflection.

Gotta say, I'm so proud of this, it turned out just as I wanted, and I managed to add a background, too! ^_^ I've been wanting to do this pic since about a couple of years ago, but after many failed attemps, I never really gave it much thought until yesterday when I realised I couldn't stop playing the game XD

I don't expect this to get that much attention, it's an old game no one knows about in a style that's not my usual, so....yeah :/ Just showing I can kinda go different :3

(BTW, if you wanna see MPM in action, look it up on YouTube. There's no full playthrough of it, but there's enough examples to get an idea of it ^^)

Ah, good old Mad Professor Mariarti. :)
I had that game for the Atari ST, back in the day. Fun game, but for some reason the Game Over screen used to completely freak me out - I even had nightmares about it. No idea why.

Every now and then, I find myself thinking somebody needs to do a remake of that game.
