Klass of ’99 Overview
Klass of '99 is a graphical update of a 1985 title, preserving its core mechanics while introducing visual enhancements such as weather effects. The setting is a school viewed from the side, where characters including teachers and pupils move through the scrolling environment.
Players control Eric, a student whose objective is to delete a damaging report from the headmaster's computer. To access this file, he must first collect a password by striking shields located in various rooms. His daily routine involves attending classes and completing other tasks, but he can also engage in disruptive actions like writing on blackboards, using a slingshot on teachers, or fighting with other children.
Consequences for misbehavior are tracked through a punishment system where getting caught adds lines, with expulsion occurring after 10000. Progress can be obstructed by specific named students. One bully can spread mumps, which results in Eric being sent home, while another student will report any mischief to the teachers, making the gameplay challenging.
