Skool Daze is a classic title that holds a special place in our hearts. Originally released for the ZX Spectrum in 1984, this 2D platform game takes players on a journey through the ups and downs of a typical school day, all while trying to retrieve a terrible report card from the headmaster's safe.
One of the key features of "Skool Daze" is its level of customization. Players are able to rename the main characters, including the protagonist Eric and the teachers and pupils. This adds an extra layer of personalization to the gameplay experience, as players can give the characters names that are meaningful to them.
The gameplay of "Skool Daze" is challenging but not impossible. Players take control of Eric, navigating through the various challenges and obstacles of school life, such as going to class on time, avoiding detention, and dealing with other students who may try to block the player's progress. The objective of the game is to steal the report card by obtaining every piece of the pass-code from the teachers, by hitting each of the shields with your catapult.
teacher characters will pursue him and issue lines. If Eric accumulates 10,000 lines or more, the game ends with his expulsion. This adds an extra layer of realism and challenge to the gameplay experience, as the player must be careful to avoid getting caught or getting into trouble. The game can be controlled using both a joystick and a keyboard, which allows players to use the method of control that they are most comfortable with.
With its sense of humour and challenging gameplay, "Skool Daze" was well-received upon its release and is considered a classic of the early days of gaming. It still has a cult following today and is a must-play for fans of retro gaming and platform games. Its customization options make it even more enjoyable.
If you want to play this game on modern hardware there is a remake called Klass of '99 available here.
