Glover (1998)

Description

A wizard is mixing up a batch of magic potions, when an explosion sends the gloves off his hands flying into the air. One lands safetly outside the castle, but the other lands in an evil potion mixture. It’s this evil glove that decides to take over the castle. Meanwhile, 7 crystals, which used to sit on top of the castle and gave the surrounding lands its life force, also fly off in all directions. Thankfully, though, the good Glove changes the crystals into rubber balls, so that they would land safely.

You must control the good glove (name Glover) and find the 7 crystals, putting them back into the castle to restore the life back into the land. But be careful, the bad glove is out to stop you and take the kingdom, and the wizards power, for his own. …

Chicken Invaders

Description

After centuries of human oppression the chickens have had enough. With the aid of kin from another galaxy, they have begun attacking Earth’s defenses with millions of dropped eggs and asteroids. You, as the pilot who just wants to get a hamburger, are Earth’s final hope for survival.

Chicken Invaders is the first part of a series of Space Invaders parodies where you control a space-ship while facing waves of asteroids and space chickens. Your movements are limited to a horizontal plane but are armed with a blaster which you can use to shoot the enemies. You can upgrade your weapons to spread or to missiles by simply getting enough points or by collecting the gift boxes the occasional chicken will drop.

Your enemies are the waves of chickens who move in patterns down the screen and shoot eggs at you. Coming into contact with them will also be detrimental to your survival. Accompanying the chickens are asteroids which in one wave go slowly diagonally across the screen and asteroids which plummet quickly down. All can be blasted given that they’re shot enough. …

Description

They’ve been fighting for years in on our TV screens, and now you can join in on the fight.

Tom & Jerry, plus a collection of well known supporting characters from the cartoon show, are part of this all-on-all brawl, where the best use of usual household appliances and furniture can win you the game.

Each level (including the Kitchen, a deck of a sailing ship and a lounge room decked out in Christmas decorations) includes a range of platforms to use to get out of the way of the firing line, and a heap of items to use in order to bash the living furball out of the enemy. Things like eggs, frying pans, chairs, bottles, roasted turkeys are all available for use in more ways then one. …

I Was an Atomic Mutant

Description

Take on the role of an atomic mutant and destroy pitiful humans and their cities in this tribute to 50’s B grade monster movies.

IWAAM is a 3D action game putting you in the role of a giant monster smashing through towns and battling the tiny military forces sent to stop you. Players select from one of four mutants (disembodied brain, fire breathing lizard, 200 ft tall woman or cybernetic mutant) each with their own arsenal of destructive powers. Then, they are turned loose on a variety of cities which they must destroy before the local military forces bring them down.

The game drips in 50’s atmosphere with black and white film intros for the mutants, B movie music, shockingly lettered menus, and horrified people who scream as they flee from your atomic terror. …

South Park

Description

A comet is heading toward South Park, causing many of the enemies from early seasons of the shows (including cows, aliens, and clones) to rise up and attack. The player takes control of Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and Stan to fight through the town in a first-person perspective. Features new dialogue from the original voice actors on the show.

Single player takes the form of a “Story” mode divided into five episodes and fifteen linear levels. The player will face weak minions (which change based on the episode), plus occasional sub-bosses which will try to escape into town. The final level is devoted to a unique boss fight. Players use quirky weapons ranging from infinite yellow snowballs to cow launchers and toxic Terrance and Phillip dolls. Every weapon has a secondary fire, and players switch between the four main characters when they switch weapons – each of the four kids shares a single life bar because of this. The kids will comment on game actions as they occur, with heavier profanity censored with bleeps. The kids will get angrier (and fouler) as their health depletes, until they finally give up on saving the town and go home. …
