Giana Sisters - Classic C64 gameplay, free to play!

Game Genre : Platformer
Game Info Quote : Although the original Giana Sisters was first released in 1987 for the C64, and with great success I might add, this is that very game unofficially remade for the PC, by Ridley X Games. A game that features all the best bits from the original title, including the brilliant retro music. Furthermore, if you enjoyed the original Mario, then this game is very similar to that, with it's head block smashing character and jumping on enemies. So collect those diamonds while using the lightning bolt to shoot enemies, and then reach the end.

Release : Now, Free

Systems : PC
