Going to go with a game that I always find myself going back to, yet I can't figure out why. First saw this on the commodore 64 watching my brother play through level after level while I could barely last the first stage.

WhereEaglesDare:
YES, Karnov is a game that i have logged hours and hours on...  shooting fire out of your armpit at a dragon while standing on a Magic Ladder.

playing for a few minutes reveals that i am really rusty at this, i remember this game being hard but this is ridiculous.

Otifrank:
Made my first few plays last night and I realized how much I suck at this game. After about 10 - 15 games, the best I could do was around 40K. Obviously, a good bit of practice is needed here before I can post anything even respectable. I'm with you Eagles, I just don't remember this game as being all that hard. Perhaps my old age is creepin' up on me? ???

jasonbar:
OK, after playing for a little bit, I do hereby retract my enthusiasm for Karnov.

The game's not *hard*.

The game is CHEAP!   :(

Man, your guy moves sooo slowly & jumps sooo slowly & some bad guys on the screen shoot so fast or move so fast that you haven't a chance.  You can take a jump, then an enemy appears & his shots put you in a certain death situation before you've even landed.

It's a game of memorization--memorize where the cheap shots are.

Argh.

But, I bet it keeps me coming back, because it is a challenge & it is very creative.
