Atari A to Z (Pete Davison) — 3 Jul 2022
The "fastest and most difficult platform game ever", a "compelling challenge for masochists"... or both? Here's Millennium's Yolanda, a game which will infuriate and... well, probably just infuriate, to be perfectly honest. Let's Play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYdaA49xNcQ

I knew Steve Bak's previous games, Goldrunner, Leatherneck and Return to Genesis, but never heard of this one, a masocore platformer made in an age when most games were masocore. Is this one actually complete-able? I recall a lot of games from this era were buggy. I look forward to seeing a speedrun of this. ;-)

I want to say this game is atrocious. I want to hate it. And yet something keeps me playing. It is the very definition of a "masocore" platformer, as much a memorisation puzzle as a test of skill, and I both adore and despise it for that.
