Double Dragon

Double Dragon

It’s funny how memory and nostalgia work, To this day I was sure I remembered playing simultaneous 2 player with my brother but there’s no denying it, this is only turn based 2 player. Its a kind of ironic that these kind of brawlers died out when the VS tournament fighter came onto the scene seeing as one earliest ‘vs’ fighting games was included here as a bonus mode. And boy is it bad!

Castelian

he basic premise of the game is to scale a tower. One tower per level, get from bottom to the top, simple right? Unfortunately what awaits you on each tower, is a host of confusing lifts, doorways, enemies, falling floor tiles etc…. Believe me when I say that making a mistake in this game is very very punishing, did I say there was a time limit? Well there is, and its not very forgiving.

Die Simpsons: Bart gegen die Welt

Die Simpsons: Bart gegen die Welt

Man könnte meinen, dass man nach der Programmierung eines schrecklichen Spiels nicht noch einmal die Chance auf ein weiteres Spiel hätte. Nicht so bei Acclaim, die haben grünes Licht für nicht nur 2, sondern 3 Versuche mit den Simpsons bekommen, wobei jedes Spiel im Grunde genauso schlecht ist wie das letzte. Die Mitte scheint ein guter Ort zu sein, um diese schreckliche Trilogie zu beginnen, also los geht's!

The Addams Family

The Addams Family

Having started somewhere comfortable, it was time to head in the opposite direction!
I was never a fan of the Addams Family. While I’m familiar enough with the characters to recognize them, its no surprise I never played this as a kid. Coming to it now, no nostalgia to cloud my judgement, my first impressions were simply…Oh God!

Dragons Lair

Dragon’s Lair

Where do I begin… never have I played a game with such crippling controls and such insanely unforgiving level design. This game is legendary among gamers as being one of the worst games ever made. I mean many who try it never even have the patience to make it past the first screen!
