Edd the Duck 2/Walkthrough



Once you have placed the disk of Zeppelin Games's 1992 platform game Edd the Duck 2 into the Commodore Amiga, it will load automatically; as in the original game, if you type IAN WANTS TO CHEAT. (again, not forgetting that full stop!) on the start screen (as Ian Copeland, who had designed the C64 and Amiga versions of that original title, and corrected that infamous missing star problem on the seventh stage from the old ZX and CPC versions, also designed this one), you can press Help to skip to the next stage. However, there are no keys for activating (or deactivating!) invulnerability in this one, and when Edd receives an extra life after collecting an icon of his head, it is not immediately obvious if you still have the three lives you started off with - because it is represented by a plus (+) sign appearing over the number, as opposed to it changing to a 4 (or if you collect additional icons of Edd's head without getting killed, a higher number than that). The final boss being an enormous white-gloved hand is also a reference to Wilson the Butler who had first appeared on The Broom Cupboard with Andy Crane in 1988 as a white-gloved, black-sleeved arm (and became Edd's arch-enemy when he joined the strand in 1989); like Edd himself, his arm continued to appear on the strand after Andi Peters took over, but this game was released in his last year.
