Yep, there were sexy gals in video games before Lara Croft. But Vinyl didn't take herself too seriously. Help find the hot plasma injector in this review of Vinyl Goddess From Mars MS-DOS. Interesting note: This was developed as Jill of the Jungle II for Epic Megagames in 1994, but for some reason they chose not to publish it. So, the game's plot and look were changed a bit to make it more adult, and it was released as Vinyl Goddess! That: For the most part, I think it's supposed to be read more like -Vinyl: Goddess of Mars-. Though the exposition bits run counter to that assumption (calling her 'Vinyl Goddess' for short, yet the logo shown right at the end separates 'Vinyl' from 'Goddess of Mars'. So yeah, I'm thinking the different people involved with the title, and the one writing the narration bits weren't talking to each other about that.

As a non-native English speaker, back then when I could not understand a single English word I was considering that the Vinyl is an Amazon in a barbarian-fantasy world justl like Jill of the jungle (which seemed appealing to me. Boy, was I surpised when I found out that she is just some kind of cheap model able to travel in a space to reach just some convention. And this beautiful world is just taking place on some other planet? And the purpose of her journey is just to find parts to her chrashed ship to reach the convention. For real? Come on! The story is a total crap.

Had this in the 90s. It's solid, with a serving of cheese on top. I like the colorful graphics here, and definitely looks more polished than Epic's Jill games. Can't believe Epic rejected this (I'm sure the porn star stuff wasn't in the Jill of the Jungle story. I was like what, 10 at the time I played this. I'm sure my parents approved of it.

Hell yeah to you and your show, you play/review the best nostalgic pc games. I owned the first chapter, I really wanted the full game but never found it in stores. I played the hell out of it, and I'm not sure what it is about this game but it was pretty addictive

Damn i remember one PC in the computer room of my school had this installed and it was -spicy-. The kids would fight to sit in that one PC to play this after they finished the assignment
Completely forgot the name of the game until i watched this!

I used to play this game as a young girl, I LOVED it. But we only ever had the shareware version I think. :( I found the soundtrack on a website and downloaded it, really great music, particularly the map screen, that's my fave. Great review!

I loved this game! This and Jill of the Jungle were the only platform games I was any good at, ha. Vinyl was my fave though, because of the graphics, that sweet music, and of course I was jealous of those badass boots.

Loved this game as a kid. Had to show the actual gameplay to mum once because she saw the title screen and thought I was watching porn. Too bad I only ever had the shareware version, so I never played chapters 2 and 3.

I could never understand why Epic passed on this one. It looked good, played good and sounded good and captured the feel of Jill very well. It's not like they ended up doing anything better with the series.

I've played similar game back in the 90's. It was called Inner Worlds. You've had female protagonist Nikita and fought monsters in fantasy setting. Very underrated platformer, well worth playing.
