Giana Sisters 32k

About this game

Giana Sisters was apparently a popular game on the Commodore64 computer, and it was also fan-ported to PCs so the game can be enjoyed on recent computers as well. The gameplay is very similar to the original Super Mario Bros by Nintendo, where you run through short side-scrolling levels hitting blocks and stomping enemies. In fact the original game was the source of lawsuits upon its original release.Giana Sisters is a classic platformer that was originally released for the Commodore 64 and later ported to various other platforms, including DOS. The game was developed by the German company Rainbow Arts in 1987 and became widely known for its playful gameplay, catchy music, and its resemblance to the popular Super Mario Bros. series. The 32K DOS version refers to the version that runs on DOS systems with a 32 KB memory limit, which was common in early personal computers. Despite its limitations, this version retains the core gameplay and charm that made the game a hit. Key Features: Classic Platforming Action: Giana Sisters is a side-scrolling platformer where players control Giana, a young girl who must navigate through various levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and collectible items. The goal of the game is to progress through different stages, avoiding dangers, collecting items, and defeating enemies. Players can jump on platforms, and there are also power-ups and bonuses hidden throughout the levels. Dual Gameplay Mode: One of the unique features of Giana Sisters is the ability for Giana to transform into a "punk" version of herself. This transformation changes the game’s mechanics slightly, giving players access to different abilities or strengths, such as enhanced jumping or new attacks. The transformation feature adds variety to the gameplay and encourages players to experiment with different approaches to each level. Colorful and Varied Environments: The game features multiple themed levels, each with its own visual style and challenges. These environments include forest landscapes, caves, castles, and more, with the visual design heavily inspired by the early 8-bit and 16-bit era. Despite the memory limitations of the 32K version, the game makes good use of available graphics to provide varied and visually interesting stages.
