Super Liam 1.5: A Personal Review Introduction Super Liam 1.5, my personal review. First Impressions and Original Experience I remember purchasing this game back in around 2007 for approximately £16 to £18, after listening to an audio review that introduced me to it. For a product that propelled its developer, Liam Erven, into the game development world, he has certainly done a commendable job. Although there were some issues with the game, they did not significantly detract from the overall gaming experience. However, its replay value is somewhat lacking; once you have played through the game, you know what to expect and can prepare accordingly. Super Liam 1.5 Port: Improvements and New Features With the newly updated Super Liam 1.5 port, I found the game experience to be much smoother compared to the original. Despite the improvements and modifications, it remains the same classic game at heart. One of the notable additions is Super L A I M, a feature where Liam is forced by an evil Artificial Intelligence to run through similar levels to the original game, though these levels are much more challenging than before. Gameplay Challenges and Replay Value If Claud was behind this, with a few suggestions from Liam, I can only imagine the ideas that might appear in other games. While making it through the original game—especially the later levels—can be a tough experience, Super L A I M intensifies the difficulty significantly. After several days of attempts and eventually beating the game, I believe it is worth the effort. It is wise to keep copies of your save files, just in case you run out of lives and need to start over. The main thing Super L A I M offers that the original Super Liam lacks is replay value. Nothing is ever quite the same in Super L A I M, making the playing experience more appealing, even though the original is quite good. You can also play it on a Mac and use a game controller, but since I do not own either, I was unable to try these additions. Final Thoughts In closing, I would say that Liam has done a good job, with assistance from Claud, in porting and updating this game. While I doubt there will be a Super Liam 2, you never know—perhaps there is an alternate universe in Liam’s world. Who can say? Summary and Recommendation To sum up, Super Liam 1.5 is a great game that you should check out if you have not already. I give this game a four-star rating. Who knows what Liam has planned for the future, but the future certainly looks bright.
