One of the
yuckier games on the
Turbo Grafx 16(
TG16).
Its
hard to tell wether
NEC intended this as some sort of
parody. Where do I
begin? The
voice: some
goofy villain in a purple robe yells "I'm
Doctor Bomb!" at you, all the time
stabbing at you at a
rediculous rate. Then there's the
continue screen. first he(the
villain!) tells you "You have
# left. push
run.", where
# is how many
continues you posess. If you are "
lucky!" enough to press
run, the villain slaps his head and says so. ("
Lucky!") if you run out, or fail to push run, he says '
It's a cruel world.'
Then there is the game itself. It consists of you, playing as bravoman, kicking and punching small, pesky robots with your inspector gadget style extending arms, legs, and head. the time you hold the button determines how far you punch/kick/headbutt, but only to a point. powerups consist of spare parts, rice balls, and lines of a kanji(yes, in an american game) in bubbles in various places.
Overall, this is the kind of poorly translated, could-have-been fun game that marked the Turbo's early years in this country. Pick it up only if you want a good giggle.
