But what about games that just blow and we're glad are gone? Here's a retrospective. Battletoads This was an OK game, except for the fact that to beat the third level you had to memorize every jump. You're riding this motorcycle and these walls appear, and you have to jump them or move up and down. Eventually they're coming so fast that only a jedi could do it. And that's the third stage. It gets harder. Bart Simpsons VS The Space Mutants Hopes are never high for a lisence game, and this one blew. What you have to do is go around and blow up or cover everything purple. Apparently the aliens can only gain power from purple things - err, right. God forbid they ever discover purple paint. Anyway the game really kicks your ass, which isn't the problem, but the problem IS that the first level all trial-and-error, and if you screw up you start at the beginning. Nelson catch you? Start over. Placed the rockets wrong to hit the purple windows? Start over. Skateboarded wrong? Start over. Did'nt collect enough money? Start over. God only knows what level two was like. Legend of the Shining Holy Sword Saga Dungeon Fantasy Quest IV OK, I made that one up. Captian Planet One hit in this game is a game over. Do I need to say any more? Blaster Master I know a lot of people like this game, but I have no idea why. I personally don't like it because it's a below-average platformer with the worst thing a platformer can have, sluggish controls. Your tank goes everywhere but where you want it to go - into lava, water, enemies, etc. Getting out of the tank isn't so bad, but when half a game is bad and half is medicore you don't have a very good game. Mario Paint I know a lot of people enjoyed this game, including me before I discovered Paintbrush. But really, it's just a cheap paintbrush program. PAINTBRUSH, PEOPLE! Skate or Die In the great realm of shitty skating sims, the king truely is Skate or Die. This game is enjoyable for about six minutes. Any time spent after that is legally some sort of abuse, or should be. Mystic Quest What more do I need to say? A Boy and his Blob This is a bad puzzle game. While, theoretically, you can solve the puzzles in all sorts of diffrent ways by making your blob turn into diffrent shit, in practice there is really only one solution. Sometimes it seems like there's none at all and they're just screwing with you. Track 'n Field This was a game that used the Power Pad. But you could win every time by putting all four of your limbs on the pad and pumping them for all you're worth, thus acheiving and holding maximum speed in about two seconds. I suspect if they did'nt have a ceiling speed limit your guy would be going about 700 MPH. Works even better with two people! Micky Mouse This was one of the first games. You're Micky, and you have to save Minnie. Bluto or some guy chases you and you can shoot fireballs. I forgot most of this game, for a good reason. Also did I mention you shoot fireballs? Micky Mouse? Am I missing something? Secret of the Stars Let me give you two examples from the game's intro to illustrate the crapulence of this game: "Monsters came to the island due to earthquakes". OK, I had a second example, but I blocked it out of my memory. What I do remember is that you fight a talking cat. He's named 'Cat-Boo'. Sweet jesus, someone get me some cheap booze, fast. ___________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Concat Information ___________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ WrexSoul http://salamando.2y.net/misc/wrexsoul.html wrexsoul@salamando.net ICQ: 902240 AIM: WrexSoulll (usually inactive) \/. vvv Evk X Damascus http://salamando.2y.net/misc/evk.html evk@salamando.net ICQ: 11029633 AIM: ArchEvk (always inactive, unless @ skool) Rotting in the Gulag
