1 / 5

Gameplay

Incredibly floaty controls. As bad as the Bugs Bunny game.
Take it slow and you'll do ok, not great.
40% draw distance
All the usual western dev stuff
Attack by bop, using a pink gas squirt gun, or using a "trick" by pressing Select. There are several tricks and the one you use is random and I couldn't get any of them to connect with an enemy so I'm not sure they're even offensive weapons.
I'm guessing you're supposed to collect stuff to open the exitbut I could never find that thing and was not able to complete a level.

1 / 5

Level Design

Aimless level design. No idea what to do.
Levels are themed after movies (tons of licenses games do this)
Off screen enemies hurl projectiles mercilessly.
Enormous square levels filled with platforms and paths which go nowhere.

2 / 5

Theme

Pink Panther is cool I guess

3 / 5

Art Style

Pretty sprites
Colorful
Easy to discern platforms for the most part

4 / 5

Audio

Actually quite good music and sound. I was expecting to hear nothing but the PP theme but there's a nice variety of tunes including some that weave the theme into the composition.

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) ...

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...
