Rainbow Islands - Best Moment

[Darran@Retro Gamer]

What's the defining moment for you?

[RMLF]

Turning it off.. So much an overated game, much loved by the gaming press at the time. Majorly disappointing to those who wanted more bub and bob

Understanding how to play it.
For some reason it baffelled me for far too long after putting the money in

Getting all the diamonds and then being underwhelmed when nothing happens.

Getting all the diamonds and then being underwhelmed when nothing happens.

i thought the trick was to get them in order, from left to right?

i think the best moment was a succesful escape from the rising water level when it was at your feet....hardly Baron Von Blubba though.

Managing to finally complete the Amiga version (with all gems). Disapointed that you didn't get any of the extra worlds in the Amiga version but was satisfying none the less. A close second would be beating the Vampire boss at the end of wolrd 3. Took me many weeks to accomplish this but was immensely satisfying the first time I managed to kill him

Finally completing the Amiga version, then realising, there's no 'extra worlds' or anything.
Still a good game though.

Up for jump! This is the only game up for jump works in. If you play the arcade version, re-map up for jump and see how perfectly suited it is to the action.

Finding the pots for 3 rainbows and fast rainbows , only to lose them a second later

That's a pain, is that! I love getting the fast rainbows and the 3 rainbows. It really does sort out the nasties!

Turning a bug eyed aphid into a trainer, or a martini glass with a rainbow for the first time. That, and the tripple rainbow

Reaching the goal, open the treasure chest and ready to eat and grab as much as you can!

When i reached the top of the first level and watched the jewels and such spew from the chest.

Only a few years ago playing the updated version on the PS1 collection ( same old Rainbow Islands but better graphics ), I think it was a walking stick I collected and huge bags of gold started falling down the screen. Sure they where worth around 10,000 pts each.

eventually getting all the diamonds in the correct order. took so long to do!
