Okay so I'm getting myself all confused. Right now I'm about seven games behind, and I can't exactly explain why. It's not like I'm too busy or disillusioned with my blog. My posts are still fairly popular. I somehow just got behind and ended up with a half dozen or so games to write about. What's worse is that I remembered that I beat Tiny Toon Adventures and didn't have it on my list. Sadly, this is about all I remember. I guess I should go back and play some of it again, but I'll see how well I can do without actually remembering the game.
This is a standard platform game as you might expect. It has a world map, but that is purely for show. There are no branching paths or secret spaces. You can't even move your character on it. So you play as Buster in this one, but if you get a special item you can switch between Dizzy, Furball, or Plucky. The difference between them is that Buster has no special skills. He was always the vanilla of the Tiny Toons world, and it's no different here. Plucky can fly, Dizzy can spin, and Furball can climb. All of these things are better than being able to simply walk around. Well, Dizzy's probably worse, but not by much.
This is one of those games with unlimited continues and a few difficult levels. This means that while this game is short, you will probably have to play it a while to actually beat it. This is always a little difficult for me. I know that I spend about 90 percent of my personal time playing video games, but it's hard for me to play a game longer than an hour without getting frustrated. I have never have been able to focus on one thing for more than a half hour or so. Maybe that's why I'm getting so far behind. Anyway, after about 90 minutes I started to get real angry at this game. Every time I died I wanted to stop playing and hide this game in the bottom of my closet where it could no longer hurt me. However, if I stopped than all that time would be wasted. Luckily I didn't let this game defeat me, and I was still able to have a nice weekend after I was finished. I remember fighting Montana Max, but I don't remember what happens after that. I'm sure it was disappointing.
I will say to this game's credit it's about 100 times better than its sequel. This game is actually set up like a real game. It even has a Wackyland level that actually kind of looks like Wackyland. Why was it so hard to get it right in the second game? Of course I can't play through a game series in reverse and say they fixed all the problems. However if you are going to play through both of them I highly recommend playing through this one second. At least it won't make you hate yourself. Is that a compliment? I guess it's close enough.
