"Turbo Pascal seems to recycle the same map for testing
purposes on numerous occasions, so I had a slight feeling of
déjà vu when I started this one up, having seen it before in
a TR3 test level of his, and his TRC level, though slightly
differently textured and with engine-specific baddies. And
boy, had I underestimated how tough them Atlantean baddies
could be! Not to mention the sheer amount of bullets it took
for them to bite the dust, they are quite agile and can deal
a great deal of damage, and with such details as Lara being
less responsive in the TR1 engine, not being able to do the
jump-twist mid-air, the fights here ended up being quite a
challenge. Which is a great thing for a level of 15 minutes
to stand out - less so, the endless pushing and pulling of
crates, so Lara can reach switches. The room geometry is
rudimentary, lighting non-existent and texturing just barely
enough to cover all the surfaces with no particularly higher
aspirations. This one's more for the completists rather than
the connoisseurs." - eTux (20-Oct-2012) |
"Woah, I had really forgotten just how hard it was to kill off that huge torso baddie – poor Lara had to jump around like a hyperactive flea. This is basically a short TR1 revisit of some Atlantean enemies and good old Natla, plus a bit of block pushing for when you get tired of all the shooting." - Jay (26-Jan-2012) |
"A short TR 1 level with some of the boss fights in Atlantis. Few gameplay examples like the block pushes, else too less health provided so it takes a long time to defeat all the enemies, at least players get armed with some harder weapons. The texturing rather was poor as there are only two or three textures used in one room, mostly wallpapered, but the setting and the fights reminded me at least on the original game a bit. Recommeded for a bit nostalgia." - manarch2 (29-Oct-2011) |
"Some rooms, TR1 bosses, and a bit boring pushable blocks. This is the level. But its a test level, so its great. You can train by the bosses." - Obig (14-May-2010) |
"One day Lara wakes up, has coffee and an English breakfast, and decides to try out her new assault course created by her friend, Turbo Pascal. It only contains a couple of medipacks, but no matter. She warms up by defeating Torso Monster. No need for medipacks there. Journey on and fight a mutant centaur throwing fireballs. Lara flips from side to side while firing, so no need for medipacks. In the next area there are winged Atlantean mutants whose claws mean instant death, who lob fireballs, and swoop behind Lara. There are five of them. Suddenly those medipacks look meager. Lara defeats the mutants. In the next arena she faces a winged Jacqueline Natla, who does aerial bombardments with fireballs. But no need for medipacks, since there aren't any left. After this invigorating exercise, Lara is ready to start her day." - dmdibl (17-Apr-2010) |
"A quite easy fight with the Torso, then rushing through a few rooms, pushing and pulling one stupid box for minutes(I felt like "I will never reach that pillar.") for pusing a switch, then killing more atlantean beasts and Natla, then more box-pulling, well, that's the "Example Level". Texturing is like TR1 Atlantis, but rooms are empty. Not worthy to play." - rtrger (06-Apr-2010) |
"Another encounter with the more powerful good old enemies from TR1 - the giant mutant right at the start and winged Natla and her resurrection at the end. In between you get a straightforward run from room to room and (unfortunately) some very tedious push block passages. Due to limited medipack supply it is quite a challenge to reach the end though and therefore worth a quick look." - MichaelP (27-Mar-2010) |
