'90s children's TV-presenting superstar, Edd the Duck, was Holyrood royalty at the time. Sufficiently popular to spawn two multi-format, platforming computer games. Rainbow Islands was the inspiration for the (definitely not a) puppet's first foray into the world of pixels. It doesn't handle quite so well, employing much simpler mechanics and a shorter expiration date, yet is not without quirky charm thanks to its cute, beautifully drawn graphics courtesy of artist David Taylor.In support of my review, I compare and contrast with the sequel, as well as talking to David about his involvement with each project. Curious to glean the verdicts of Violet Berlin, Andy Crane and Andi Peters, I include brief comments from them.
