Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude!

Dude. Beach dude bro dude.


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1992

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Floaty controls plus small platforms. Attack with a frisbee which takes a strange looping path. Enemies pop out and have no hit box. Terrible hit detection. It's generous both ways but still annoying. Greendog's sprite is enormous - takes up half the height of the screen.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Typical Western dev stuff for the most part. Long levels with a steady stream of the same stuff over and over. Movement is slow with infinitely spawning enemies and floaty mechanics. Every three levels or so there's a weird mini game style interlude, like a shooter-esque levels where you're riding a unicycle helicopter. Yeah it's weird.


Theme Score: 0

Theme Notes:

Uhhh. Such 90s crap. A man-child doofus. I mean, dude. A bikini clad girl informs you that you're cursed to gather ancient relics.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

The graphics weren't horrible but the main sprite is truly pathetic. It's a step down from Lester the Unlikely, if you can believe that.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Yet another Genesis games with obnoxious music which uses grating sounds. Not the worst I've heard but it's pretty bad


Overall Score: 36

Review ID: 957
