Gameplay

The game presents a series of 12 different minigames. Based on the walkthrough, there are 24 total stages per playthrough, with some of the minigames being repeated up to five times. Most amount to standard QTE segments, while others include games of Memory, spot the difference, and digital pachinko. In all cases, the interface may as well be a TV remote. It's more engaging than many FMV titles, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

2 / 5

Level Design

As I mentioned the game is made of 24 stages. Most playthroughs are unique, as only some of the stages have multiple possible seeds. Most are always the same. The sheer variety is both a selling point and a reason to criticize this title. A game based exclusively on any one of the minigames would be atrocious, but when combined, they make for an disconnected and somewhat fascinating experience.

1 / 5

Theme

Back in the 90s we had a strange idea of what VR and AI would be.

3 / 5

Art Style

The FMV is mostly full screen, but with all the 90's neon aesthetics, this game looks laughably ugly.

2 / 5

Audio

Poor sound quality

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) ...

Super Hydlide for Genesis

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...
