CiB Game Boy Theater - WWF Superstars and Zool (Episode 66)
0The Original Game Boy is one of the biggest 'game changers' in the history of video games, and essentially ushered in the popularity of handheld games. There are many games that will be classic forever. There are, however, a much, much higher number of simply awful, forgettable, or downright weird games. CiB Game Boy Theater shows you some of the games you might not (and shouldn't be...) familiar with.
We already played WWF Superstars 2 way back in Episode 15 --- and it was awful. Is the first one any better? *laughs in LJN* Honestly, LJN's games were always pretty bad, but even I feel sometimes they get (too much of) a bad rap. Back in the early 90s, all people wanted was a game where they could play as their favorite wrestlers. The sprites definitely look like the wrestlers, so that's nice, but that's about it under the 'nice' category. It's a boring game with literally nothing to do --- and look at that, we died to the first guy. Again. Classic bad game design.
I am floored to find out that Zool is the most expensive game we've reviewed on this series so far. I never would have guessed it - but I guess when you're generic platformer #197235, sometimes you get a small print run. Zool is honestly an okay game, and compared to a lot of the garbage we've played through, it's really average to above-average - and hey, I actually beat the first level! So there you go, 66 episodes in, the most expensive game we've played because old games are weird. Thanks for watching!
