Stanley: The Search for Dr. Livingston — About this game
As reporter Henry M. Stanley, you follow the missing doctor's trail toward the legendary temple of Am-Zutuk. A world map links side-scrolling areas filled with dangerous wildlife, climbing routes and hidden supplies. Talking to people and investigating buildings helps uncover the equipment needed to continue. Stanley can crawl through tight spaces and deploy his backpack's auto-gyro to guide a descent rather than simply dropping from a height. Weapons, health and defensive upgrades make exploration more manageable, while passwords let you return to supported stages. Progress depends on remembering routes and revisiting places with useful equipment, not just defeating enemies.
