Baldies


Summary- Take control of the world with little bald men. Sounds strange, and it is strange. But its good... A realtime stratagy/war style of game with a twist (WarCraft on LSD). Use your imagination to make cool new weapons like skunk bombs and bear traps. Put a cow into your science building and make him an exploding cow, or poison the water with a skunk bomb then feed the fish from the water to the enemy troops. Ok graphics and so-so sound with some fun gameplay, and over 100 levels of twisted...um...stuff.

Rating-
I had to give it 4 stars for imagination. I took some sick minds to cook this one up. Fun to play, with inventive twists (Landsharks anyone?) make this one worth while. Not without its flaws though. Not enough sound effects, and the music, while good, is the same for all the levels of each land. The graphics could have used a little polishing up, but has a nice cartoony flair. Overall a good game worth playing.

Hints- This is a very cool trick. After you build 3 houses, you get a digging tool. You can use this tool to make land, or take it away, leaving water where the land was. Once you get the tool (make sure you have plenty of workers walking around aimlessly to keep the red bar up) scroll to the enemy base(s) and dig out the ground from under enemy troops, causing them to fall into water and drown.

Codes!- Soon to come!


Blue Lightning


Summary- An evil madman has decided to take over the world (wow, thats new...), and your the only one that can stop him. Fly a multitude of planes, from the F-14 Tomcat to the A-10 through back-view scrolling battles. Protect planes, bomb buildings, and do lots of other odd-jobs.

Rating-
Some people would argue that 2 stars is too many. But I say it was a good game that could have been SO much more. Great FMV (Full Motion Video, for those that are curious) and tons of levels to play. But the graphics are 16-Bit looking. Hey, I stayed up all nite once and played through this game from beginning to end, and enjoyed every minute of it, especially the 2 cool levels that pop up, but the graphics are very pixily and flat looking. It comes with the Jag CD system itself, so its worth playing anyway.

Hints- Keep moving, or else you will be pummeled by enemy fire. When on an "Escort" mission, make sure to draw enemy fire away from the other plane.

Brain Dead 13


Summary- One of those "push-the-right-way-and-live, push-the-wrong-way-and-die-a-nasty-death" games like Dragons Lair. The main character has been called to fix the mad doctors (Dr. Neurosis) broken computer, and ends up in a heap of trouble. Very funny animation, with ghosts, psycho muppets, vampire hair stylers, and much more.

Rating-
Good game, but it can get a TAAAAAAAAD repeditive. Playing the same scene over and over and over and...um...you get the point. Any fan of Dragons Lair or Space Ace, should look into this one. Nice, funny graphics and strange characters make it a pleasure to watch.

Hints- Things get REAL wierd. Watch out for tiny spiders that will suck all of your blood out, crazy cooks, and all sorts of wacky stuff.

Codes!- The only real code (known) for this one is that, when you pause and unpause the game, the current scene restarts. Why? Dont know. Dont want to know...

Primal Rage


Summary- A side view 2d fighting game with dinosaurs. It is in the future where a meteor has hit the earth, releasing long dormant dinosaur gods. Take your pick of one of 7 different very large beasts and have a bloody battle to the death with special moves and fatalities.

Rating-
A good, solid fighter that is very close to the arcade game of the same name. Nice animation and color's make this a much more appealing version than the Sega and SNES versions. The sound is good but the controls could use a little tweaking. The computer is a little cheezy when you are fighting it as well. A warning to sensitive gamers- this game is BLOODY, and the fatalities dont make it any less gory. There is, however, a gore option that will turn off the blood and other heavy violence.

Hints- Dont let the computer corner you. It wont let you out easily. Also remember that every character has his own good and bad points. Use these to your advantage.

Codes!- Cheat menu, moves, and special colors
