Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
In the 12 years I've been creating videos for YouTube, I'd never managed to get around to covering the game which introduced me to the Amiga, so I decided it was high time to right that wrong. Titanic Blinky holds special significance for me because I unwrapped this on Christmas morning back in 1991 and, when I saw the label on the box was for CBM Amiga and not Commodore 64, I thought my mum had made a mistake. Clearly, it had been intended to arouse some suspicion as to what the big present under the tree was, but I failed to understand the significance. A few hours later, I was the owner of an A500+ and Cartoon Classics pack bundle, and the rest is history - 1991 was the best Christmas ever.
As for Titanic Blinky, this sequel to Blinky's Scary School is an unremarkable platformer with some obtuse puzzle elements. The plot is some barely comprehensible gibberish involving an oil billionaire who's kidnapping a scientist, forcing him to use his research to develop a weapon capable of transforming objects into completely random objects via the use of psychic energy. Blinky is sent aboard the Titanic, freshly raised from the bottom of Ocean and functioning as said billionaire's floating base of operations, to cripple the weapon and save the world from certain doom. What this boils down to is roaming around a series of interconnected screens, shooting enemies with your gun and collecting items to unlock the way forward. Little of it makes any actual sense, so it would have been a real help if the game gave some guidance as to what you were supposed to do; you'll eventually figure it out, but it's hardly obvious.
As a budget game, I guess £7.99 wasn't too egregious a price to ask for this, but for most people, I suspect this was rather forgettable experience. For me, it's a constant reminder as to what wonderful parents I had - thanks mum and dad!
