3 / 5

Gameplay

Fairly simple to understand but there are quite a few things to check on.
Objective is to open routes that make money. Other things to keep track of are budgets for maintenance, customer service, and advertising. Gotta watch your cash flow
Menuing is ok and there are options for speeding up text speed and turning off music.
I got sucked in and could see playing it for much longer than I did.
I really wish the windows were a bit more obvious when screen was ready to dismiss. Too often I wound up closing a menu and then had to go thru 15 seconds to clicks before I could get back to where I had been.

3 / 5

Level Design

Not sure what a level even would be in this game, but it seems fairly well designed. You do a bunch of stuff and then end your turn which advances the timeframe by 3 months.

3 / 5

Theme

Surprisingly engrossing theme. Capitalism is fun kids

3 / 5

Art Style

Clean graphics with good use of color to show menus, buttons, and such. A number of little animations or pictures to illustrate some event. Some go on for too long tho.

2 / 5

Audio

Music gets old real fast. Without it, however, there's not much personality.

Hey gamers. I first published this blog in July 2024. That initial release included my thoughts about every game that was released in North America during the 16-bit era.  At the time I was underway with the second, and final, phase of this project - to play and review every 16-bit title playable by an English speaker, regardless of region. As of right now, that goal has been reached. What lies before you is a heap of reviews for every game I could play on the following consoles: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom (1204 total) North America (716) Japan (450) Europe/PAL (38)  Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (849) North America (704) Japan (94) Europe/PAL (51) Sega CD/Mega Drive CD (158) North America (141) Japan (12) Europe/PAL (5) TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (255) North America (95) Japan (160) TurboGrafx-16 CD/PC Engine CD (163) North America (44) Japan (119) ...

Super Hydlide for Genesis

Review #4565 Super Hydlide Easily the worst game of the 16 bit era Genesis 1990 Seismic Adventure Adventure › Overhead X 2 / 100 You've been warned Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 0 / 5 Gameplay Zelda clone... in theory. Includes an unbelievably annoying weight system, limiting both what you can carry and what your character can use as a weapon. If you’re overloaded, you are unable to move. After buying a few things at the weapons shop I thought the game was broken. I had to Google it and read about this weight mechanic. So stupid. It makes the game nigh unplayable. Even with a minimal inventory of a knife, a helm, and two food rations I could barely walk. The game has a clock and calendar and it took me 12 game hours to walk from the Shop to the exit to attempt combat. By that...

Review #109 Chrono Trigger Only by mastering time itself do you stand a chance against Lavos. SNES 1995 Square RPG RPG › Japanese A 100 / 100 Classic Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 5 / 5 Gameplay Battle system is special. There's an optional Active Battle System and an innovative Single and Team techniques system. No grinding necessary. An assortment of sidequests and minigames like the actions you take at the Millennial Fair which influence how the trial plays out. One thing that I greatly appreciate is that you are never alone in a one-character party. You are joined by 3 other playable characters within the first hour of play. Being able to switch your party members on the fly is also a welcome quality of life feature. No random battles. The Game+ feature! What an awes...
