Gameplay

Another Looney Tunes themed Sonic clone
Good camera gives Speedy 80% draw distance making it possible to navigate the levels without much trouble. Good workout for your reflexes but not unfair like so many Sonic clones.
You also have a kick but no idea what it's used for.
Run and run and collect/rescue mouses from their cages. Then find the exit.
Fairly tight controls. Has some floatiness, but no worse than something like SMB

4 / 5

Level Design

Levels are mostly devoid of enemies, instead including tons of environmental elements to contend with. Well designed to let you run and run.

3 / 5

Theme

Of the Looney Tunes gang, Speedy is probably the best candidate to star in a video game.

4 / 5

Art Style

Looks fantastic. Sprites are mercifully smaller than the other WB games, making the game much more playable in the process.

1 / 5

Audio

What happened to Sunsoft's audio department after the 8 bit era? This music is an assault on the ears. Ok sound effects and voice samples can't make up for this squishy, off-key mess of a soundtrack.

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...
