AGameAWeek Gold is our daily trawl through the Jayenkai Archives, to dig out any games that might have been released, on this day in history.

For the most part, there's some real stinkers in amongst this lot.

But every so often, we'll come across a real gem.-=-=-

2009 - JNKPlat 3D 09 Trial

You can't fault a good JNKPlat engine!
.. Or at least, I didn't think you could, until I posted this over at RetroRemakes, where the general consensus was either..
A) WTF is with TWO Jump Buttons!!!?
or
B) WTF is it in 3D for? It's not 3D!!!!

I was somewhat disheartened by this depressingly lackluster set of opinions, and I gave up on the game, which is a shame, to be honest, because looking back on it 4 years later, it's a damn fine engine!

You can't please everyone, and annoyingly the only people who seem to comment are those with complaints.
This game marked the start of a nasty phase, where I started to despise a lot of the internet comments I was getting.



A shame. This game could've been fucking awesome.
Instead, it's unfinished.

You can play through the first 11 levels from the DS08 edition of JNKPlat.
Each level is lovingly restored, (and by "restored", I mean it loads the actual level data from the DS edition!) but everything is rendered in full 3D.
It looks fantastic, runs smoothly, and everything's in place, ready for a super-sized JNKPlat that never actually happened.



You can Download JNKPlat 3D 09 Trial here for Windows.
If you like the gameplay, but are sad that it's incomplete, other larger options are JNKPlat08 for DS or JNKPlat 2010 for Windows, Mac and Linux
