Cratermaze for TurboGrafx-16


Image: MobyGames

Cratermaze

aka Booby Boys on NES and GB


Genre: arcade - n/a

Publisher: NEC

Year: 1990

System: TurboGrafx-16


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Bomberman with holes instead of bombs. Also one of the easiest games I've ever played. This is an action puzzle game for the kids. Dig holes which enemies step into. Fill them up to kill the enemies. Collect all treasure chests to reveal a key and then go to the exit. Simple, concise, easy to understand, and fun.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Every level is the same but with slight variations. Very similar to Bomberman single player mode. Good stuff, but not something I'd come back to frequently


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Fun, bouncy characters. Bright, colorful graphics. A cute little animation plays at the start of each level. However, there's not much here, to be honest


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

A step below Bomberman. Like a slightly updated Dig Dug, graphics wise.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Pleasant music and sounds


Overall Score: 70

Review ID: 1446
