Rainbow Islands endings
Finally i have completed this great but hard game
cheating, yes i must admit normally i can't go over the mechanical isle (sixth world) even with infinite lives, i feel cold in my spine when i'm playing the last two isles btw, i have got all the seven big diamonds, and i have seen the better (?) ending; i know about the secret doors, but i haven't got the little diamonds in order but this last message is not properly clear : i am forced to do a second playtrough to unlock the last secret door? or it is possible to have it also in the first longplay? i need to achieve 10million points before the last battle?

lol
i was indeed thinking about the particular way this game manage the ending(s); it could be considered a bit unfair, when you reach to complete it, thinking in the better way, and instead pops up a new msg 'congratulations, game almost complete' possibly that op message is just to have a better final score, btw i'll try to investigate |

The message is referring to getting a 50m bonus if you not only get all seven big diamonds, but get them in order on every level. On every island that you get every gem in the correct order, there will be a hidden door with a special bonus/weapon upgrade. If you enter all seven doors, your score will have 50m added to it.
So collect them in the following order... red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. You can't ever pick up a gem before already having all the preceeding ones, or you won't get the door or bonus. |

that sibylline msg, for a bit i was thinking that you needed a second playthrough to gain access to the last secret door (with the 10M high score as a unlocking factor) i'm almost happy to know it is not |

Nice replayability trick though, to actually spoil that the game has secrets to find when you finish it When you think you're out... they pull you back in!

agreee, surely one of the few games with an aternative ending on Amiga
or better, one of the few with a decent ending in first complex system for a bit i feared a second consecutive play round, like Capcom GhostnGoblins etc personally, i don't like that approach |

For Ghosts n Goblins I like it because it proves the game is not just hard, it is sadistic.
Nowadays they call it "new game+". |
