This week: Destroy hot documents for a totalitarian regime, explore a melancholy space station, and revisit the Garbage Pail Kids.
Not many people are aware, butis the best piece of cinema to emerge from the 1980s. That alone makes this 8-bit platformer worth investigation: sure, it's just another retro-styled platformer at heart, but it's an impressively orthodox one, inheriting even the uglier aspects ofNES games like Wonder Boy. You get to play as four of the Garbage Pail Kids, each with their own abilities, and there are six"exciting" levels to explore, all filled with annoying enemies and traps.
The Steam page warns that the game"features pixelated and childlike depictions of flatulence, buttocks, vomit, mucus, and more" so be well warned: this is a delightfully stoopid videogame.Shaun Prescott is the Australian editor of PC Gamer.
