The game has three episodes (with only the first episode playable in the shareware version):

  • Episode I: Forests of Old
  • Episode II: Caverns of Chaos
  • Episode III: The Return

Debra Dare was the model for the box cover art, introduction screen, and pin-up poster.[1]

Plot[]

It is the year 200 billion. Vinyl is on her way to an intergalactic B-movie convention, when her spaceship is struck by a meteor shower. She crash lands on an unknown planet full of dangers.

Development[]

The game was created by Jason Struck and Mark Lewis, and was originally intended to be a sequel to Epic MegaGames's Jill of the Jungle. However, Epic was not satisfied with the quality of the game, and decided to release Jazz Jackrabbit instead.[citation needed] The story was then changed, and the game was published by Union Logic as an original title.[2]

Reception[]

In a 2009 review, Clint Basinger of Lazy Game Reviews called this "...one of the most solid side-scrolling platform games that I have played on a PC, or anywhere, really." He praised the game's graphics, controls, music, and tongue-in-cheek writing. However, he objected to the game's lackluster text-only ending.[3]
