S.S. Lucifer: Man Overboard!
SinkGenre: puzzle - platform
Publisher: Codemasters
Year: 1994
System: MD PAL
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Plays just like the SNES version, but with more responsive controls.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Some of the same levels as the SNES version, but a much improved learning curve. I got further into this game and didn't get stuck.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
You're a scuba guy. Actually you're Scuba Steve from Big Daddy and you ride in a yellow submarine, like The Beatles. Your job is to rescue idiots on a sinking cruise ship, ala The Poseidon Adventure. So yeah, there are a whole bunch of very dated pop culture references in this one. Oh and you look like Leisure Suit Larry. Oy
Art Style Score: 2
Art Style Notes:
Typical Amiga-looking graphics. Everything is way too busy with a bunch of unnecessary animation. Hard to distinguish platforms and hazards and items to interact with. The artwork itself is wall drawn but unattractive.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
I liked the music. There seems to be a good variety of tracks with interesting composition. The sounds are thoroughly unimpressive.
Overall Score: 59
