Earnest Evans
Totally not Indiana JonesGenre: action - hack n slash
Publisher: Renovation Products
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
One of the buggiest games I've played. The collision on walls and slopes and ropes is unreliable and messed up in all sorts of ways. Ragdoll physics. Some of the weirdest movement tech this side of Getting Over it With Bennett Foddy or Surgery Simulator. Your main form of attack is to wave your bullwhip around like it's on fire. It works alright but looks as dumb as it sounds. Enemies have no hitbox and you get no knockback or i-frames so if you get inside them they tank you in a matter of seconds. Pervasive slowdown.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
The levels aren't terrible. Typical platform stuff but enemies are the key thing to worry about. Reminds me of Super Star Wars or Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures.
Theme Score: 1
Theme Notes:
Indiana Jones rip-off. The first level is a straight up copy of the opening scene from Raiders, right down to the stone chase at the end.
Art Style Score: 1
Art Style Notes:
Horrible slowdown and animation. All sprites have an unnatural, segmented and articulated look about them. My wife said they look like skeletons. Truly horrific artwork
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Decent music. Simple but enjoyable. The sound effects, on the other hand, are exclusively burps and farts. Terrible
Overall Score: 27
