Gobliiins – The Retro Gaming Treasury

Gobliiins – Final Rating

On March 26, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Gobliiins is one of those games, which definitely have flaws, but still manage to be, on the whole, charming and fun to play. It will be interesting to see whether the good parts will manage to outweigh the weaknesses or not. There’s something immensely enjoyable in scenes like […]

Gobliiins – Won!

On March 19, 2019March 19, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Elves? I thought these were goblins It was quite easy to find the exit – Hooter could magic the gate open – but that was still far from completing the level. Time to again get the full story from the manual. The hooded creature was the librarian Carbonek, […]

Gobliiins – Into the Fire

On March 16, 2019March 17, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Statue of Serenity – made by Joss Whedon? Or maybe it is a statue OF him? The level with the Buddha-look-alike was another one where I had to proceed by trial and error. I’ll just quickly run through the essentials. If you really squint your eyes, you might […]

Gobliiins: Underneath a carrot patch

On March 12, 2019March 12, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari I had managed to get in wizard’s house, but then I had no idea what I was expected to achieve. Time for plan B, that is, random clicking around. What I soon found out was that the big skeleton was very ticklish and dropped a skeleton key, if […]

Gobliiins – The Great Escape

On March 8, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Where we left off last time The dungeon may look like an easy place to escape, what with the enormous cave mouth leading outside, but it’s full of all sorts of tricks. The hole on the left wall has some monster guarding the pathway, the snake is obviously […]

Gobliiins – Collecting reagents

On March 3, 2019March 3, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Happened last time: the goblins were asked to collect three magical reagents – Airain’s Mushroom, Arachnide’s Elixir and Bald Plant – which the wizard needed for curing the goblin king. I hope his ears are waxless In this level the obvious goal was to get past the Igor […]

Gobliiins – No Lemmings Here

On March 1, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Rumors of this being a Lemmings clone were highly exaggerated. When I wrote in the intro post that Gobliiins had been compared with Lemmings, I didn’t expect to raise so much controversy and even many skeptical glances – could anyone ever have confused these two games? Luckily, some commenters […]

Game 106: Gobliiins (1992) – Introduction

On February 23, 2019February 23, 2019 By Ilmari Jauhiainen

By Ilmari Best thing about democracies is that you won’t have to worry too long about raving rulers You probably expected another Rome-post from Reiko, but unfortunately she has had to take a break from playing the game. Rome is now on hiatus, and we’ll return to it later, when […]
