Awesome Possum... Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt
Sonic meets FerngullyGenre: action - platform
Publisher: Tengen
Year: 1993
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Sonic wannabe. FPS tops out at about 20 but dips to under 5 when moving quickly. Gameplay is somehow even more shallow than the game it's ripping off. All you can do is jump but it's a crapshoot whether you damage or take damage from the enemy you land on. Enemies pop in without warning. 20% draw distance. Best strategy is to hold right and jump buttons and hope for the best. Laggy controls Tremendous slowdown
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
All the Sonic stuff like jump pads and slopes. Every levels in an area look identical. No variety.
Theme Score: 0
Theme Notes:
Blatant environmentalist theme. All enemies are chainsaw welding robots and the coon/rings of the game are bottles and cans to be recycled. Where's Captain Planet when you need him? Besides that the Possum character is a prime example of everything terrible about early 90s games. He compliments himself constantly, won't shut up, looks horrible, and is otherwise obnoxious.
Art Style Score: 0
Art Style Notes:
Ugly. The horrible frame rate is one thing but the artwork itself is hideous. What an absolute mess to look at.
Audio Score: 1
Audio Notes:
Bad music and annoying sounds
Overall Score: 22
