The Great Giana Sisters
''The Great Giana Sisters'' is a 1987 platform game developed by German studio Time Warp Productions and published by Rainbow Arts. The scroll screen melody of the game was composed by Chris Huelsbeck and is a popular Commodore 64 soundtrack. The game is heavily based on Nintendo's ''Super Mario Bros.'' (1985), which led to production being stopped shortly after release, but it later inspired a number of sequels. Plot The player takes the role of Giana (referred to as "Gianna" in the scrolling intro and also the intended name before a typo was made on the cover art and the developers just went with that rather than having the cover remade), a girl who suffers from a nightmare, in which she travels through 33 stages full of monsters, while collecting ominous diamonds and looking for her sister Maria. If the player wins the final battle, Giana will be awakened by her sister. Gameplay ''The Great Giana Sisters'' is a 2D side-scrolling arcade game in which the player controls eith ...
