Download Livingstone, I Presume

Wear the boots of the journalist Henry Morton Stanley and set off for the dangerous, beautiful and exotic world of Africa trying to find the missing explorer, the famous Dr. David Livingstone. This is a historical plot from the 19th century of the one of the best platform games ever made.

Livingstone, I Presume? is a unique game that left the competition way behind. The game is described as a 2D action-adventure of a platform style. It may sound like to many genres in one game, but it really takes a bit of them all. A large world with interesting puzzles and features and a lot of trouble is combined with a very interesting gameplay, actually the unique gameplay to be precise. This gameplay makes all this possible and makes the game far more interesting than other "jump and shoot" platforms.

You have three different weapons and a pole for longer and higher jumps. Combining all this gives you a large possibility of actions. Use the boomerang for targets above you, knives for targets in front of you and bombs for targets beneath you. Change weapons using number buttons 1-4. Hold Fire button (Space) to reach the power of throwing/jumping and let go when you think it's enough. Use Q,A,O,P for movement. You must fight your way through, pick up various objects and eventually find and rescue Dr. Livingstone.

This game is very much like Goody which was also created by Opera Soft only with many improvements. Surprisingly the PC version is not much worse than others. Technically it is worse considering the CGA graphics and only PC speakers supported, but the gameplay and the world are identical to other versions. Still, although it's CGA, graphics are very detailed. Naturally EGA graphics could and music would leave an even better impression but the game has all those features that made it a legend.
