Vinyl Goddess from Mars
DOS - 1995
Description of Vinyl Goddess from Mars
The plot is simple: you're Vinyl, the mars goddess who are supposed to attend the B-movie convention, but your spaceship is caught in a meteor shower.. and so you ended up stranded in an unknown planet in the middle of no where.
Actually, at first, I'm not thrilled with the idea of a platform game featuring scantily-clad female, I think I've had enough of Jill , Lara, and such. This game, however, shows great promise. The graphic is o.k, nothing special. The music is uuuh.. not so good. But nevermind about the graphics and music, gameplay is the only thing that counts! Impressive scrolling engine, I must say. Really smooth, IMHO it spars the quality of Epic's Jazz Jackrabbit. The game also shines in the level design.
Overall, Vinyl is a decent PC platformer. (Err.. don't you ever hope for a console quality platformer in PC :P) If you loves platform games, I highly recommend this one.

Although I like the title that they chose, I still think they missed an opportunity when they named it "Vinyl Goddess From Mars" rather than "Vinyl Vixen From Venus" XD (How's that for alliteration??)

Great game! Such a vibe. Great graphics and music, and gameplay is fast-paced and challenging (but so far has not been frustrating or needlessly tedious). Just a good old-fashioned platformer / shmup kind of vibe with a wonderfully cheesy story (and yet, despite this, it still manages to have an epic feel to it.)

Yes, the game is clearly mysoginistic (objectifying the women's body) and there's nothing you incel weirdos can do about it. Stop crying about people's opinions on the internet.

Really enjoying this game despite the aggressively misogynistic design! Having some trouble saving though ... the game seems to be unable to write over a save, which is a problem since the save slots are limited!

Hello! I have great news for you: I've made a fully functional Level Editor for Vinyl Goddess from Mars, and additionally, I've made a mod containing two brand new custom levels for this game!
You can simply look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GWeph9MhSY (links to both level editor and level pack are included in description).

I wonder if anyone out there still has the poster of "the real Vinyl Goddess" that was supposed to come with the full version.
