It’s retro arcade platforming at its most retro. You Have to
Win the Game is a simple one button platformer with the goal of getting to the
end. You have unlimited lives and will respawn at the last activated checkpoint
upon death. You have to find the end of the game and choose wether you Win or
Lose. The simple way is to ‘Lose the Game’, but if you want to win, you have to
enter the ‘magic word’ which is hidden cryptically throughout the game. I have
to yet to discover the magic word, so I lost the game.
Functionally, it plays great and is visually appealing. I
quote: “Experience the thrill of four-color CGA graphics and monotonic PC
speaker sounds! Or take a peek at the future of home entertainment with the
SIXTEEN-COLOR EGA GRAPHICS option!” There isn’t anything else too it, it is
simple old-school fun put together in a pleasant and meaningful way. I will
complain a little about its confusing map layout which had me going in circles
for quite a while (my fault really though) and it also didn’t stop monitor
timeout, so I had to move the mouse every now and then to stop my screensaver
coming up while I was using the controller.
A fun little game with some replayability in the form of the
money bags to find and the cat and YOLO mode. Also, it’s freeeeeeeeeee (on Steam).
