Nodes of Yesod
1985 Odin Graphics
The
Rt. Hon. Charlemagne
'Charlie' Fotheringham-Grunes - being the name of
our intrepid hero!
In the first installment, you find yourself
on the moon, wandering about, avoiding the subterranean
cavern holes attempting to catch a mole. Grab the
mole - you'll need this fellow to eat secret walls
when you go below...
An intriguing adventure/platform for
both our installments of Charlie. The First: Nodes
of Yesod, is a well crafted and beautifully animated
adventure where we find Charlie wandering on the moon
surface, looking for a mole. This mole will play a
significant role in your adventures - both Nodes and
Arc, and is used to help discover secret chambers
or shortcuts to other rooms throughout the cavernous
environment. Your ultimate goal being to collect all
eight 'Alchiems' which are scattered throughout the
caverns.

Arc of Yesod
Nodes
of Yesod
Wander the surface until a mole pops
up from one of the craters. This fellow will prove
invaluable when you delve deep below the surface..
Nodes and Arc both employ excellent
graphics and gameplay. Sound has a nice balance and
animation cannot be faulted. 'Charlie' has gone subterranean!
Your
friendly mole is used to great effect in the screenshot
to the left! This allows him to release the mole underground
and search for hidden doors to new areas and more
rooms.
In Arc, you have a similar method for
revealing hidden exits. This is an orb that can also
fire a laser in order to kill nasties intent on your
demise.
Arc
of Yesod
The sequel is very similar to the original
Nodes, but this does not make the game any less. The
gameplay is still as good and the graphics subtle
and well drawn as are the many animated characters
and nasties..
