The premise is simple, the gameplay basically consists of two different arcade type minigames. I should also warn you, that you can not restore energy while in the rocket.Īnd finally if you get that far, you will have to land on the moon, by controlling the auxiliary drive (you do that by pressing fire).Īlthough this is not a great classic, it’s a very representative 80’s computer game (although it came out at the end of the decade). Try and be quick about it, because the longer the fires burn the more energy you loose and if a bomb explodes, you’ll really loose a significant amount of energy. That’s when you need to shut the gravity off and float toward the bomb (you toggle gravity by pressing F1). You will find some bomb placed in locations you can’t get to (like under the ceiling). You can however spray him with the foam from the extinguisher (pressing fire), just like putting out the flames all over the ship. Just be careful not to touch Boris, he’ll knock you out for a while (and he even shoots at you). To save your friend you simply need to touch them (it’s the same with disabling bombs). If they collide with Boris they’ll tie him up (but he does the same to them).

At the bottom of the screen you’ll see how many bombs are active.

On the left of the screen you’ll see if you’re carrying the fire extinguisher (if it starts blinking it means it’s empty), you’ll see if any of your friends are tied up and you’ll see if there’s a flame burning somewhere on the ship (you won’t see where). So you’ll need to get the fire extinguisher, put all the fires out, disable all the bombs and capture Boris in order to continue. Evil Boris is planting bombs and setting fires all over the place.

Upon completing each stage you’ll have to stop the sabotage aboard your rocket. You should, however, try to avoid the meteors (the big rocks flying towards you). The blue round things flying toward you increase your score. I suggest you try to collect as many in the early levels, so you’ll carry enough energy over for the tougher parts of the flight. To keep going it is therefore of vital importance to keep collecting energy boosts (the red squares flying at you). Once you run out of energy, the game is over.

To the left of it there’s a box showing energy and to the right of it there’s a box showing your score. At the bottom of the screen there’s a line indicating how far along the way are you. This doesn’t really effect anything – except the language of the title on the screen following the take off.Īfter the take off you take control of the rocket and guide it through 5 stages of the flight to the Moon. The more appropriate title would be “Tintin’s Flight to the Moon”, for all you really do is try to get there.įirst off I guess I should mention the game offers the language selection. Although it features the red and white rocket and the crew of the Explores of the Moon series, the game has no real plot (unfortunately). I’m afraid though that Tintin fans will be slightly disappointed at the plot of the game. Several games staring Tintin have been made for various systems already, but the first computerized adventure of Tintin is the one I’m presenting to you at this time. There have also been cartoons made after this famous character and naturally the gaming industry could not ignore Tintin either.
#WIKI TINTIN PC GAME SERIES#
Tintin is in my opinion one of the best comic book series ever made (along with Asterix and Lucky Luke).
