Blackthorne | |
| Blackthorne (Video Game) | comment |
A Cinematic Platform Game from 1994, developed by Blizzard Entertainment and published by Interplay Entertainment, for the SNES and PC (later ported to the 32X, Macintosh, and Game Boy Advance). The gameplay is very similar to Prince of Persia; the main differences are that combat is done with guns and bombs instead of swords, and there is an item inventory system (some levels require the use of these items to make progress).The game begins with player character Kyle Vlaros (Also known as Blackthorne) being teleported from Earth to the world of Tuul by a magician called Galadril, who tells Blackthorne that he is the heir to the throne of the kingdom of Androth. However, Androth has been conquered by Ka'dra'suul, and it is up to Blackthorne to free the Androthi and defeat Ka'dra'suul. | |

Bag of Spilling: You begin each level with a fixed selection of items, regardless of what items you had at the end of the previous level. This might have been done to allow for the password-based save system to use only four-characters-long passwords. | |

Sequel Hook | |

Sequel Hook: The ending shows a single grag'ohr being teleported to the same place on Earth where Blackthorne was teleported away from in the opening cutscene, and then the grag'ohr laughs. However, no sequel has been made. Part of Blizzard's April Fools 2010 was said sequel. | |

Evil Laugh: The grag'ohr that you encounter earlier will laugh at you after shooting you, which gives you a chance to shoot them. Later ones don't do that, making them more difficult. The whar'orks also give you one if you try to shoot them. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Blackthorne (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: At one point one of the Androthi slaves will tell you his brothers are hiding. You find them a few screens later. One of them has a key that you need, but will only give it to you if you've talked to the first brother beforehand. Nothing in game tells you that you need to do this or that he has the key; if you don't talk to the first brother, all he says is "Death to all traitors!" | |

Shotguns Are Just Better | |
| Blackthorne (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e | comment |
Shotguns Are Just Better: Zigzagged. Your shotgun was from the crashed helicopter that was part of your background story. It's garbage that can only shoot twice before taking a long reload. But as you get newer alien shotguns from the natives, you'll eventually get a fully-automatic shotgun with explosive shells, which is much better than the pistols that some of the rebels use. | |

Take Cover!: A big element of the game is that Blackthorne and most of the humans/humanoids can take cover in the shadows to avoid getting shot. Blackthorne's not a fast guy, so this is usually the only way to dodge a bullet. | |

Offhand Backhand | |
| Blackthorne (Video Game) / int_f018c5cf | comment |
Offhand Backhand: Blackthorne can shoot backwards. Doing so isn't useful, but it sure is cool. It actually can have a fair bit of use, especially in the later game. Running past enemies while they're in cover and forcing them to turn around before firing gives you a window to shoot them first. Of course, turning around also takes *you* time. Running past an enemy and putting a no-look explosive round into his face as he turns around can be almost necessary, but never anything short of awesome. | |
