Trying to find the name of a video game I played a long time ago.

Lord Szechenyi · November 11, 2023

I can basically give 2 defining features:

- The gameplay is like Rick Dangerous (or if that's too old for you, maybe Spelunky)

- The sequel was stuck in development hell (at least 10+ years) and got released a long time after the original

I'm also fairly certain the title of the game is a single word but not 100% sure.

La-Mulana ?

So if someone does know the game but doesn't know the two games you compared it to you have basically made it very hard to know what you are talking about. Can you describe the game at all other than making comparisons?

And yet the guy before you immediately found it.

You are welcome.

But full disclosure:
I never played any of those games hah,
and the question was answered by ChatGPT.
I just verified the answer it spat out made sense (checked out the wiki about those games).

LLMs have their uses, stuff like this is one of them.
Just keep in mind: the answers generated need to be checked (it can easily make up / hallucinate stuff).
So I'd advise against using it for anything of real impact on your life, like learning new things or legal / purchasing / career etc. advice
If you must use it for important stuff, be extremely vigilant.

I am not sure what your point is. I simply said that some information was missing and asked you to provide it. I mean sure someone figured it out without that information but I am not sure why that makes me asking for basic information about the game weird. Anyways you can do what you want.
