A review of the awesome puzzle game from Apogee! Paganitzu for MS-DOS computers thomasg86: Paganitzu, Xargon, and SimCity 2000 comprised a bulk of my gaming childhood. This was my first -real- game and thus will always be super nostalgic. My little 8 year old head could beat about 17 of the 20 rooms. I wrote to Apogee and they sent me back with cheat codes to skip the levels I couldn't beat. A few years l buckled down and was able to figure out all the rooms. The last one to be solved was room 19 (I think. The one where you had to part the -Red C. - Wanted to break the keyboard over that one.

Upon re-watching your earlier videos, I have to say this is one of my favorites. You've nailed the humor here, and all of your deliveries hit the mark pretty much perfectly. The video is also very educational, as I had to look up Dagon and inadvertently learned about another ancient deity; )
I never played Paganitzu, but even without any nostalgia for it you made me want to try the game out. Thanks!

-VintageJunior Well, I'm just going on what the game setup and documentation itself refers to as -16-color EGA, compatible with VGA-, but yeah I know - considering nobody should give a crap about what's technically CGA+ in a simple review of a simple puzzle game I don't think technicalities are worth mentioning in a short video, so calling it EGA should suffice: D

Fun Fact: Indiana Jones was originally called Indiana Smith, but Steven Spielberg asked to change it to Jones before filming started on Raiders.
I wonder what the protagonist of Paganitzu would be called if they went with Indiana Smith for Raiders? Alabama Jones?
It sounds like a Jazz singer.

-Playing Paganitzu more often than not is like dating an intelligent, independent woman; It ends up being more of a test of the mind rather than just how good you are with your fingers. - Those are words of pure genius!

-kinmanyuen Boulderdash, without the physics/gravity system. It does have a very similar method of gameplay otherwise, and as such I found it more comparable to Chip's Challenge rather than Boulderdash, Repton and the like.

I played this game 16 years ago and loved it, and since then have wanted to play it again so much, but could not for the life of me remember the name. You seriously don't know how happy you've made me!

Damn. I would have never thought I'd play the game but looking at the this video, memories! I had forgotten that I had played this game but I have! I love your videos because they bring back my childhood!

Paganitzu has adlib support. I don't know why the version you played didn't allow other. However don't expect a lot from the adlib mode because this aint commander keen it's pretty minimalistic.

I played a game titled Alabama Smith, but it was a point and click game where you jumped between modern day and Pompeii right around the time the volcano was going to blow.
