Abashiri Family The Movie Review
Note: I spell like a resident of Aashiri
Abashiri Family The Movie
This is My review on Abashiri Family The Movie from the diatant future year of 2009 (The year odf Robotech ep 1)
is directed by Teruyoshi Ishii (Like Shiro Ishii?) who didv Oira Sukeban: Kessen! Pansutō
Its based on a Manga by the best author Go Nagai who did classics like Devilman, Violence Jack, Devilman Lady, Demon Lord Dante, Cutey Honey, Mazinger Z and many sexy violent fun cr-p
It stars Shun Sugata from Kill Bill Vol 001\The Last Samurai/Kill Bill Vol 002/The 2009 Dororo/The 2008 Sakigake!! Otokojuku/Tokyo Gore Police/Kekko Kamen 3 The live action film/Engine Sentai Go-onger/Fuller House, and no one else Ore Samma saw in anythong
I never saw this b4 but read the manga and watched the 90s OAVs
So it starts in the forrest and daemon abashiri is humming and a chick follows him and tries to shank him
He catches the knife in his mouth, gives it back and takes it again.
they fght with knife and then she uses a chain and he ties her to a tree wirh it and pulls out her heart with his bare hand like indianna jones but less daemon worship
he laughs and walks off and leaves her to rot and be d0ned by any gaijin who come by
then title and credts with art fro the manga, often showing half of mostly naked Kikkunosuke
Narator sez the Aashiri Fam is violent crooks looking for money and other bad guys fear em cuz thwy are soo bada6 and no one can stop em
they got an unbreakable fam bond and we are introduced to the dad Daemon Abashiri, his lusty son Goemon, hus manly son Naojiro, the youngest asplosive one Kichiza, and the curvy often nude dater Kikunosuke.
the cops fear them for crimes like murcder, theft, ason, fraud, prisn breaks and mo lesting and we s the manga panels flip and shows the actors.
so tired of beng ;d by em, the cops start an all out thing to get em and have em sourrounded and outn numbered,
Then 1 year later thers a ciry of bad guys by mt fuji(Like by the Photon Power Lab in Mazinger Z?) in the woods and its a guarded area outside and inside is like india but less human wasye and stench with people all over in a cr-ppy city
1 guy beats a man for serving him meatless meat buns (as i guess he didn't wanna e a girly man from eating soy) and the guys wife chops off his arm, the cook bats his head in and they bring the body in to cook
In Paradise High the school in there, Kinu beats up guys attacking her and b4 she shanks 1 with scissoes, the PA uses sound to f her upand stun her with a chip implanted in her head that keeps her from comitting cromes like the South Parl Movie
Miss Honey is watching the event with secuity cams and the headmaster Danjuro Namakubi goes on the air to tell he teens played by 30 year olds but cuz its Japanese they don't age, that this area isa a lawless city in Japan ut they gotta obey the law andteachers to graduate and e forced to be decent people
Is this Clockwork Orange? Also, they are doing the Paradice High arc again, instead any of the other weird devolved things Go Nagai wrote
so these toughs go by and sent the guys beating up Kinu off and this chick tends to her as kiku blax out
Later Kuku is walking with her gf and wonder why she can't fight and these toughs hassle naojiro whos a teacher ans moppig the floor
They tells off Kunu ad agw goes hme and they take Nao off and put the mop i his face as his collar and chip keep him from killingt em
as walking hme, Kiku's gf sez its her fault Kiku got beats for saving her and we getta flashback
The bullies are stoll mad at her but kiku dont care and they meet i think Kihiza who was bullied and had cr-p drawn on her
as the sun bins going, Kiku as her butt buddy Yuki why shes here and Yuki lost her memory but thinks she was a villian, wait, its kiku who lost her memory and when yuki is gonna say wh shes here, kiku sez to keep her secrets
yuki seZ kiku dont need to dave her from bullies but kiku sez she will cuz shes her only friend
then they start sloppily making out and pulling off each others clothes and making b0ning sounds
jk thats em in Violence Jack
a nerdlinger watches em and has a metal item that glints and then the headmaster has the cook and his wige execured for icing that guy but they say he stattrted it
damjuro sez this area is full of the worst crooks and the guys here are to be rehabiitated but crimes still happen, so to keep order someone must be executed each day and snce all are crooks, its ok to ice em each day
then he does a kamehameha and cooks em with his secret move murdering wind and was told by honey that todays opertoons are done, he nearly ells her something but instead sez keep rup da good work
honey is called by a guy in shades who asks how the experiment is going and is told good
He sez world leaders hive high hopes for it and hony sez by freeing and lmiting crooks by implants, they can eliminate all crime, which is unamerican as The Founders wanted Freedom and notoppression
shades sez she discovered the genes of criminals no reashers could with her prpject and she sez criminal impulse stimulators are in human genes, called the Abashiri Fctor and its ranked by power of impulse, and the stongest ones are the Abashiri fam. If they can remove the impulse then evem the A Fam wont commit crmes, so she put chips inKiku, Naojiro ands Kichiza (Or Kichixa in Maruta) to control the factor with supersonic waves
Shades needs proof they wont commit crmes again by drivng em into extreme condition where they have to commit crimes but cant
also, crime is relaive, as in some countries some things are lgal, like watching a moie the gov dont like, or disagreeing with the god of the leader, or eating food made of an animal the kuso baka okama jigoku suki gajin worship
Honey thinks they guys true purpose is to supress the AbAShiris and at night kiku is making dnner and mai comes by and 1 thinks the other is a violent crook
dinner urns andkiku has a viet nam fasback to her fam but a guy starts taking her drying undies and she stps him
its her big bro, or o nii san, Goemon, who she dont remember but he knows her and gives her a gold piggy bank to break when shes at her mental limit,.
b4 he sez wat it does, gunsots go off andhe sez to find Naojiro/Kichiza and the truth is in the reference room, then he runs off with her Bras
the next day kiku goes to this room andfinds a safeshe cant open ut naojiro comes in andcant ta;k so he uses hang gesureex like an italiano to say a masked man told him to look inthere and kiku understands him
the tough guys talk to chicks aout yuki and naojiro pulls pen the safe and in it is a newspaper saying of the aashiri capture plan
as yuki comes by, studens knock her things shes carrying oer and capture her
naojiro and kiku agree tp keep it secret until later and yuki comes y and brings kiku off as the toughs get naojiro
yuki throws kiku in a room and sez sorry andlocks her in andthe bully chicks say shes one of them now
kiku gets out and a dirty mop goes in her face andshe chaec em but slips i blacl filth from a buxket as the bllys laugh
kiku powers up and her ki aura glows like dbgt or hokuto no ken and she advances on em wth a stuck but the soundwaves stun her and the bullys dump water on her andmo lest her
yuki tries to stip em but they turn on her and drag her off andkiku blacks out and the filth was not in the bucket
Honeywatches o a computer and danjuro asks how things are and sez shes the daghter of his olders sister Kaoruko who wa adopted by the Honeys (Or Hanii's) andraised as a scientit
she calls Danjuro Dad and that shes close to the finishing the experiment
Danjuro wiggs out and sez the Aashiris wre in a deadlock with the cops b the county sent a female assassin whos the best hatchet woman riased by th namakubis, who were secet assassins forn amcient times, she was te best with the skills he daught her, his 2nd daughter kaede
we gata letter read by her ayng the chickdaemon iced her her saying she would sacrifice herself to stop him an this would be her last letter as a sflashack to th opening plays again
the abashiris in the flashback are having fun at home and daemon was late and they hadnt had difnner and thought aemon was kcing peope or b0j0ngn chincs
kichiza was blowing people apart with hs items and it was his teacher and goemon asks if she was sexy an daemon comes in saying in english aiiim hooomuh
Daemon sez they gotta move cuz he iced aNamakubi girl and licks the blood off his hands and laughs and Danjuro holds her h=in his arms and puts her body by the river and shes wearing the metal thing the guy watching kiku had and screams and wind blows
then the authorities sent in the speciel forces and its a smoke and red light battle with them abashiri's wasting uys easy until this tuning fork with sonic waves stuns em
they cluthc their heads and scram and the heads swell and blow blasts of syrupy blood out with brain chunks
jk really its Honey who caught em and sent em here and Danjuro wants to avenge his assassin daughter and dont want em to go back to society and ice em and make em suffer
also donjuro has really f'd teeth and honey wants to push em to the limit and donjuro sez they has to seal away Daemon frozen somewhere cuz his abashiri factor is too stong
He snts to know where dameon is and she wants to avenge kaede but she left the namakubis and dotn wanna be used like her
lter kiku iwakes up with goemon standing over her and thinks hes a creeperbut he sez yuki is gonna be executed and kiku runs off
honey recognizes goemon as the one who escaped the capture mop up and they thought he was a fast idiot but really hes clever and fun
so the toughs hassle naojiro and kids hassle kichiza and beat him and kiku runs through the woods to this tree where the bullys are gonna waste her
kichizas bullis say hes old and beat him, a ref how hes played by a grown a55 map but cuz hes japanese, is 4'8 and ooks young
yuki screams and kiku runs to her and fns her dead and the bullys say it;ll be handled as a suicide and they are not responsible as the school promized em
kiku stands up to em and is m=nned i mean pinned down and the toughs are gonna put naojiro's hand in the saw and kichiza is being picked on and kiku's power activates and the weather changes and wind blows like shes going SS5 as her ki autra sparks up
naojiros electricity sparks around him like SS2 and so does kichiza and kikus aura bows around liek a shpere and their vioelnce level is more than anything honey saw
she wants to use their powers and the bullies are gonna ice kiku to send her to h-ll with her gf but kiku brwks the piggy pang and theres a bell in it that rings and its daemons dinner bell where he calls hs kids and her memories return
after a speech goemon gves her a katakna and she lops off their heads and the chip f'd out and shes free
honey hits thde alarm and the pa sez to report the abashiris cuz they are c-ck suckers who report things THEY dont like cuz THEY fear what THEY can't control and censorship is how losers rule as they cant handle truth
kiku wants her bras back and some bada55 comes at em but naojiro throws him off, takes off his collar and sez kikus his suster
then lightening its the sky and kichiza comes in and soem unks come to ice him but he zps em with a eath way that looks like a cr-py powwr rangers effect
they wonder where daemon us and we see a boiler clanking and i guess hes in zee oovin mein ubermench and all these ninja ome at em and they fight
goemon wasts guys and feels chicks and foes tongue cr-p to be a purvo and swips he sexy red undies w.o taking off her clothes
naoiro beats through guys ad crushes ones head with his hand and its all blakced and bruised and barfing blood as hes a cyborg
kichiza, or kichixa as maruta suki/bbeta male john cena would say, zaps guys witha death ray and kiku nosuke slices em with a balde and each one gets a ooney toons thing showing their title and statsus and level
the ground blows and danduro comes at em with a group of troops an they recognize him as a secret assassin
naojiro is gonna ice him and danjuro blasts him with kiand blue lightening force sparks around him
as danjuro is gonna ice him, daemon's ki blasts over the sky and he recognizes it and in this boiler he blows outta it as in the manga hes psychic and strong
honey sez sorry for the experiment f'ing up and shes here to help him
kikunosuke is gonna f her u for experinmenting on em like the aka saru maruta claim happened in 731 but deny ALL their own atrocities and danjuro sez to show him her moves
honey thrfows kiku a blade and they have a swordfight instead of using acid or honey that attrats super ants
naojiro faces the toughs wgo f;d him the whole time and goemon and kichiza team up with kichiza throwing grenades and hoemon usig kung fu
naojiro tanks att the toughs attacks and beats em down and kiku recognizes honey is a good swordsman with a womb so shes a sowrds woman
danjuro fires k blasts at them and kiku evades and as the 2 advance on her, daemons ki attacks and donjuro blocks wih his blade
daemon comes oer over amazed danjuto is alive and the abasiri family is back toetehr and faces off against the namakubi klan
also this is widescreen and color
honey fights kiku with 80s msuic guitar playign anddaemons easily wacks donjuros best guy and theres a standoff
naojiro is beat on by toughs who he beat easiily b4 and he then gets the ipper hand and pns em to a tree and holds em by the throat and crushes em
donjuro uses his murdering wing move and daemon counters it with his blade slashes like a f--kin zelda game
donjuro wants revenge for his daughter as they both lved their own and he wants to even it as 2 wrongs make a right and goes on abiut if daemon has a right to judge him and dameon sez stuf i only care of my fam
honey and kiku fight in the woofs and honey wastes i eman is wasted by kiku
daemontakes donjuros blade but donjuto does the clap thing to catch em and b4 he ends him the tuning fork uses waves to stop them.
why dont it affetc dojuro?
so the one hlding the tuning fork is yuki and is revealed to be the 3rd namakubi dauhgter who was faking being her friend and thinks kiku is too soft to be a vilain
is this like with sindel being the bad guy and faking being good in the retconned mortal kombat? that was stooped, like how they devolved bridget in uilty gear.
what next? link icing zelda to help ganon? Its like that Captain America beign a Hydra menber
so donjuro and yuki laugh and dont waste em as i think they think tis all sewed up but naojiro rips it wide open by saign his ears broke and he cant hear sh-t and takes the fork
kiku has viet nam flashbacks of yuki being her fake friend and sez she believed in her and daemon fights donjuro but is cut down
kiku shanks yuki and sends her to h e double soviet england and as danjuro laughs ike hes ret-rded, daemon gets him from behind with a kataka using soem japanese trick like in Shinobi how Musashi nukes himself and revives to do great justice oto the enemy
the fam wonders what to do and oemon wants to rai mt fuju as its a japanese symbol like geisha and they cant attack geisha
kiku ses the white hQuse and they wsee it as a worthy foe and they walk on as shades sez "here coems the abashiri's, well erase em next time
arnold; ur erased!
then credits to a 00 style song and clips from the movie like in Nami SOS
the end
that was pretty cool
standard live action japanese movie but with soem go nagai fun
good message and acting and the effects were cheese and fake but thats part of the fun
not as go nagai style as other things but not bad
its only like an hour and a bit and its holds up pretty well
For Abashiri Family The Movie II I want thmem t take on the gov and the gov uses mechs and power armor as well as devolved guys mutated by experiments and several people surgically connected into one body and they bust through em to get to the REAL rules behind it. Also its a 16 bit beat em up on sega geenesis, snes, tg16, atari jaguar and gba where you play as the Abashiri's and fight through the bad guys and bosses are higher rank guys.

If they/them want my money they gotta suck my 7 inch uncut slavic d0ng like everyone else!!
I never saw this but its on amazon prime and y rents wanted to watch it
soviet merrly streep said its her worst film butshes usually wrong so it makes sense
after title and credits to nice music we get this guy in an empty night city and he finds a dead body
then thsi guy is getting a psychologist and finishes a patient and his woman i think se the divorce is done
then this blonde comes in and its probably meryl streep whos a commie and evil and plays humans sometimes
she sez this dead guys items she ha belong with his wife and she wants em retutned to him and wants him to do it about her b0ning her man
she breaks something of his and dr's next guy comes to his thing and he sends her out the back door where she belongs
the guy coems in and its not a patient but a cop and grills him and the watch if the iced guy is still on the table and cop dont notice and he covers it eventually
he cant tell what the dead guy was seen for and cop goes and main guy dr sees another dude who smokes and later spends time with blodne talking of greek pottery from long ago
later hes having dinner and his mom who smokes b--ches at him for cr-p and he talks wth her about his patient who got shanked and would have been better off seeing a priest
moms a shrink and sez when a mans marriage f'd out hes meant to feel bad and he sez hes keeping usy and wont see uncle charlie
later hees doing laundry and reading notes saying he thinks the dead guy was in trouble b4
then the smoker patient sez something about knwoing about killing and in the laundry thing he senses something and looks aroun and blonde shows up with the statue of his she broke
the smoker patient talks of ths chick he hired and about how he was looking in a neighbors window and she met a guy and got nude
also i think the patient who smokes is the dead guy in flashbackls
so dead smoker patient had a dream and its a werid different tone colored thing and he goes in an empty house an a bird showed up and thieres a little blonde girl with a eyed teddy bear and as he goes upstairs he sees the door open and in it is the girl with bird feathers and screaming
later hes at this museum and the cop sez the dead was seeing a chick and was iced by a woman and he used his shirnk appointments as a cover
cop wants main guy to help but cant as confedentiality and cop sez he night get iced by someoon out there
at home blonde comes by and sez she was with dead guy and he wanted to dom something but she didnt wanna, i wasnt paying attention, and she left and he bit it
she feels bad about being glad she dont gotta deal with im andhe comforts her and they smooch to warm loving music
later he talks with him mom and she sez to go to the cops about it but he dont wanna cuz he wants to find out how the dead guy got it
after going through a phone book and going out he sees a chick walking aorun at night and follows her like a stalker
eventually he meets a mugger who pulls a switchblade on him and takes his coat and sends his a55 outta there
this is what happens when you go out in a park at night in soviet new york
as main guy leaves the mugegr gets iced offscreen and probably b0ned dead and the next day he tells the cops he was grabbed and the cops say the wound patters was the same as the iced guy and its probably for wearign his coat
later main guy goes to see blonde whos nude but on her front so we dont see her weird rectangle nips andshes getting a masaasge nfor her f'd back
also she wants to know when hes free of patients yo meey
later he goes to the museum and meets blonde then theres an auction on soem cr-p you gotta pay taxes on cuz they need to for fsiled gov programs that cause more harm than good
so main guy sneaks into blodnes office and not oriface as thats gay ut not really, but merryl is pretty mannish in feels and lack of femininity and love so it fits
so he looks thgouht her drawer and not undies and finds ripped up newspapers and puts em togteher but blonde comes up as he's leaving and catches him but lets him go and says bye w/o anything else
cop comes by and talks about bringing a witness to see if he recognizes anyone and this is going like the kevin costkler costner movie film no way out
main guy goes to the auctiona dn keeps raising is hands and buys something for 15 000 B0NES
he sends a note to the blonde sayign the cops are here and to get out and meet him elsewhere and why is he helping her?! shes the killer maybe!
as da cop and witness come in she rad the note and leaves and later he goes to this dark home thats a li=ke where the dream was and blonde is in there sucking a flaming faeg(or in NON brittish; smoking a cgiarrette)
main guy sez her friend told him where she was and the cops think she iced the dead guy. but he went through all this cr-p like paying 15 000 on a cr-ppy painting, might lose his job/go to jail/drop the soap/get butt hammered by a big black guy like guts in berserk
she explains this house was her moms and her dad left mom and mom drank til she bit itwhe maerlpy was 16 and she dindtn feel for her
so dad took her to france or something gay and she was happy and cheerful(or in 1800s tlake; gay) and at 18 she got her inheritence and got a letter from mom saying she always loved blonde and was sorry blonde never knew. mom sez dad turned blonde against her and never lpver her and to be careful around him as dad only did it for money and she ent to the chruch and dad followed and he showed him the letter and it f'd him up. dad sez mom was drunk when making the letter and went to hug her and his face creeped her out but she pushed him off and he held her against a rain and she thought he was gonna iced him and she hit him and he fell and bit it
good f--k thats a long exposition!
next time show, dont tell, if this were a silent film it would be like 15 title cards
so there was no inquest and somethign was in the house and main guy sez he knew about this as the dead guy had a dream from b4 and of the kid and bird
how da f did main guy know about this if he only heard about it 2nd hand from a guy long ago from aguy who had it a while ago?
also there was a green box and blonde sez it was actually greenbacks andthis guy had money in bills and main guy realizs that its this chick who was b0ning the dea dguy and maiking it look like blonde did it and he calls the cop but cop is dead and they leave realizing it ight be blondes frin who sed where she was whos the kilelr
blonde goes back in the hous to get something and someone comes from beihind the seat in the car main guy is and takes hi out and comes in andshes got a knife and is gonna ice merryl
if she had a gun she could cap her
so meryl hides in the stairawy beinhd a fdoor and killer comes after her and this just went halloween friday the 13th with blonde breathing hard
if she killed herself shed npt be breathing and the killer wouldnt kill her
she runs to the balcony and killer gets her against the rail and tells her to jump but main guy comes in not dead and killer tries to shank her but blonde spins and killer falls off
blonde catches her hand and she slips out and falls to the groudn showing the impact, like how sheiced her dad (her ninja trainign kciked in)
so she hugs the main guy whos not dead but has a knife would and blood, and it shows the night moon from the start and credits to wonderful warm emotional music like in a Don Bluth Film
The End
that was pretty good
nice tension and edge of ur seat style
good acting and themes
its like a less p0rn0 basic instinct
its got really moving music and the filming and scares are pretty good
it goes by at a good pace and its not a million little things all at once, but a gradual burn that gives you time to feel
i lliked it and think its pretty good
just that the jump scares and long wordy monologue at the end was a bit off
For Still Of The Night 1 i man i man mean i mean 2 i want them to be a couple and she's pregnant and more than tripled in weight, but the shrinks patient has snapped and is going around cutting people pen and eating their organs, but NOT killing them, and hes gotta try to work with the cps to save em, also he's gotta cook for his hungry wife andfeed her often in long feeding scenes of her huge a55 being filled. its also a 128 it point and click game on full motion video on sega dreamcast, gamecube xbox and ps3 i mean 2and you choose options and find clues to figd where the killer will go next, also theres mini games between rounds of cooking and feeding the expanding wife.

Or that I have;t see in in anything else.
I saw this b4 and forgot a lot but its good
st it starts withthis court house andthis teen is charged with predetirtated murder and the judge sesto decide the faye of the accused
if there's reasonable doubt, he's not guilty, if theres none, the accused gets it hard
the accused is this gaijin looking teen then title and credits
so its the hottest day of the year like in do the right thing but not as devolved and theres no AC and not A C Slater, Andersodom Cooper or ariel castro and they are locked in so they don't leave
but if there's a fire they cook like meth (And the guys are smoking)
there's small talk of wanting teens beat down b4 they rise up (Like on reddit?) andthe guys eventually have a base vote to see where they stand
it must all vote way or the other and the vote sez 11 guilty 1 not guilty so they gotta talk it out
the hold out sez he can't send a 18 year old accused of shanking his dad in the chest w/o a talk and it shouldn't be done quiock
this pushy new yorker wants yo see his ball game andit starts at 8 and they'd talk for an hour
hold out sez the accused had a cr-ppy life and was his mom bit it at 9, went to a foster home for a year wen dad was in jail, and got beat up as he was n the slums
1 guy sez the accused and his kind are bad and they decide to say their piece
wiener guy sez he thought the accused was guilty and it wasn't proven otherwise, but was told the prosecution has to prove he did it(innocent til proven guilty)
1 guy sez there was a fight and kid ran out and was seen
1 sez kid aed he was at da movies and didn't remember which one and 1 sez the geezer chick neighbor saw it, also she saw him through a passing train w/o people
hold out sez to racist guy "why you believe neighor? she's one of THEM too"
1 guy sez the accused hada fight w/ dad who beat him but hold out sez he was used to it, but it told "mght've een 2 slaps 2 many"
new yorker sez accused had a record for mugging/knife fighting and racist guy sez howe kids dont respect rents and he called his da Sir
also racist guys 9 yar old ran from a fight and he made a man outt him ut at 16 his son slugged him and ran away and its been 2 years
1 guy sez the accused is slum scum and only filth comes from there but jack klugman i think sz he was from da slum and they mean "we dnt mean you"
after discussion on who sez what next, hold out sez the defence laywer didnt do a good job and let things slide when he could have said more
also only 2 witnesses were there and 1 only heard(spoiler; weye witness testamony is actually pretty unreliable)
hold out sez about the knife and 1 guy sez accused got beat by dad, went out, got a knife, hung out with his droogs who saw the knife, went 2 a movie, came back, was arrwsted/thrown down the stairs, sez the knife fell outta his pocket and the jury dont buy it
they show the knife (which the jury probably shouldn't have) and storekeep sez its the only one he had in stock and stabs it in the table, but holdout shows em another copy he bougt fro the slum he walked in at night
uying switchblades is a crime and he broke the law but s its still possible that it might've been not the acuseds knife
he has em have a secret ballot and if all 1 say hes guilty he'd go with em but when they count it thers who turned
racist guy b--ches out as "we gotta put the guilty man in the chair where he belongs" and trus to find who changed but the geezer sez he did and the accused is probably guilty but he wants to hear more from hold out
they take kind of a break and1 guy chats wirth hold out about their jobs and how da accused is guilty and hold out otta not fight
then nother guy comes in andsez the accused is gulty but jury duy beats work but hold out sez "suppose you were on trial" but he relies "suppose the accused did it and you let him go?"
they go back to deliberating and say the witnesses saw/heard the attack andsome guys are dodling or playing tic tac toe and hold out crumples it up and sez "diss aint a game"
yami yugi: geimu no jikan!
hold ot ez the train takes 0 seconds for the train to go by and trains are loud so the lady seeing the guy shanking the guy would be 10 second before the body hit the floor would be whle the train is going by and it'll be too loud to hear
racist sez "no one can be that accureate with timing" but hold out sez "when it comes to life, it should be"
geezer sez something but racist tells him off but a tough guy tells off racit for talking bad at a geezer
geezer sez the wtness was a geezer who wanted attention and said cr-p to get it but wasn't lying and got mixed up
hold out sez if the accused sez "imma keel yoo" might be an expression and accused is too smart to yel it and mean it as hes too smart and racist ez their kind aint as he don't speak good english, before hes corected by a grammer nazi
1 guy changes his vote so its 3 to 9 and new york base ball c=xk sucker who needs to be b0ned by a babe ball batt by the butt sez the laywer knew the guy was guilty but is countered by hold out by thats proof he didnt getta good defence
a gajin juror sez if the accused iced him, why go back for the knife? and if he left in a panic, he'd not have wped the prints off it, also wouldnt he have heard the scream of the witness? but was said screas are common in the slums
they vote again and gaijin jorur votes not guilty and this is b/w but widescree
racist puls the knife and sez the accused was seen using it bt it was the wrong knife
having enough he slices the hold out acoross the face and drops the knife, freaked out at his explosion of anger
jk really they talk of crippled gerzer witness who saw accusd running out and if he made it in 15 seconds to see him going down the stairs after the body hit the floor
they usethe chart saying he'd have to walk 12 feet, get da door, go 45 feet, then ddo another door
hold oit sez the defence lawyer didnt hassle the crippled geezer as he'd look bad and hold oit tries walking the distance with a limp from when the body fell and wiener times it at 41 senonds
racist goes mental and wants to put the accused to sleep and when called a sadist by hold out, he wiggs out and sez he'd kill him but is held back and told "you dont mean you';d really kill me, do you?" to show people say expressions
this gy keeps tankng his own positon
gaijin weho might be an italiano or meixcaono sez how great democracy is and working together makes America Great
We Can Do AnY Thing By WoKing With Each OthEr
they have an open vote and its 6/6 and racist guy whines about facts getting in the way like an evolutionist hearing of dinosaur sightings in the 1900s
new yorker talks with wiener about changing his vote and he sez it sfelt right
it starts raining and 1 guy tells some stroy about something i dot get and base ball new york soviet sodomite turns on a fan as he plays with paper and throws it in the fan to be knocked into geezer head
racist wants to call a hung jury(tee heee) but is told he don't get reasonable doubt, wait it was new yorker who was aid that after agreeing with racist and he tells off intalio gaijin for coming into his land and telling him how to run things
they talk about if the accused saw any movies as he said but when 1 was asked of what movies he aw recent, he cant recall it all and wasnt under emotional stress
the rain ends the ball game so nrew yorker whos devolved as base ball s-cked and its ants running in a square a mile away for 7 hours has no reason to kleave
also football plays in the snow
wiener sez the son was 6 inches less than his dad and not in d0ng size and they test how a smaller guy would usea switchblade and it looks likehe stabbed from up but jck klugman ez he knew switchblades in is slum and you swing underhanded as if you do a down stab you switch hands and it dont work
2 more guys inclusing base ball butt hole change the vote and most are not guilty but italiano tells him off for playign with a mans life over base ball tickets and to vote how you feel instead of whats convienent
back door bae ball banana crammer sez he thinks the guy is not guilty and they vote and now its 9 to 3 in not guilty which makes raist spazz out again and goes on a tirade about how those people are violenct and awful and devolved and sub human but dont say any diect race and it turns the the others sgainst him
this is like the news on anyone THEY say is "bad" andn a "Danger" to what THEY say is US but THEY mean THEM
hold out sez personal predjudice is dangerous and the hold outs otta explain their pov
1 guy sez the geezer lady witness saw it and he uys it as she was bedded by the window\
1 guy sez he changeds his vote to guilty and its 8 to 4 and racist sez to say its a hung jury and not with a foot long b0nar and they say they'd start talking on being hung at 7 and now its 6 something
geezer points out that 1 guy rubs his nose as hes got glasses and hes got a glasses dent in it like the geezer lady nitness who rubbed her nose in court
she was 45 but looked 35 from make up and dyed hair and sexy clothes and no glasses and probably didnt wear em to bed but racist sez she nmight have been far sightet nor nused sunglasses but wienrer sez as the womans sight is in queston they cant execute the accused.
more change the vote and racist guy goes on a tirade about all the evidence put up he thinks still stands all loud and devolved until he throws his wallet on thre table and his picture of him and his son comes out and he eventually breaks down and sez not guilty
fun thing, 1 actor in this, jack warden, was in the movie, guilty as sin, which seems off afetr this.
the jury leaves and geezer intorduces himself to hold out and they shake hands and walk off and outside into the new day and then we see images of the actors and teir names from the film like space balls
Oh and the italiano was actually a czech
the end
that was quite ngood
well made, will filmed well acted and wellmmade
the camera getz closer and closer as it goes on it increase the feeling and sense
I hear if it wre a real trial, it would be cancelled for interfernce from what the guys did
it tells a good story and you see the characters go from 1 side to the other, and all it took was 1 guy questioning thevevidence and looking deper to see the REAL Truth
Nowadays THEY might make the hold out look bad for questioning the "Experts" and spreading "mis"information
But this one gves a good feelng and makes you more positive. Theres humor and heart and it shows the good a man can do
A very positive film
Also theres no chicks in this movie, all dudes and it don't need em
For 12 Angry Men 2 I want the racist guy to go on a quest to reconsily with him son and looks for clues to find where he went, and travels the world from 1 clue to another, but finds hes caught by a mexican cartel, so he has yto take em out and save him son before they chop him up and cook him in acid. Also its an 8 bit point and Click adventure like thart Phantasy Star Game but on Sega Master System and Game Gear, Nes and Game Boy, TG16, Atari Lynx and 7800 where you use items to get to the next part and find your way through the cartel base and save your son.

Game Reviews Volume 31 From 2023 Part V
Another dozen or so games I went through since the last review and my thoughts and experiences on em.
Just beat Zool: Ninja of the Nth Dimension for Sega Genesis on my 2DS. Its a Mascot Platformer from Gremlin Graphics to try to be the next Sonic. You use a Ninja Gremlin With Attitude who has a 3-4 hit life bar, can climb walls like Spider-Man and jump like in Mega Man X. A is attack, B is jump, C when jumping and I think Up is a Ninja Spin Sword Attack like a Beyblade in the air. start pauses and there's Checkpoints you hit with A when standing near. If you bite it you go to the last Checkpoint and keep all items collected. You gotta collect enough Items of the Level like Candy in a Branded Chupa Chups Candy Land or Records in a Music Land. Once you get enough of the Item, head to a Gold Circle and then do it 3 more times. On the 4th there's a boss who has a pattern if you know how to avoid its attacks and where to hit, it can be beat. There's an Arrow in the Status Bar that shows where the End is and its semi see through if you ain't got enough Items. There's a Timer but it never ran out on me. You can get Power Ups like Invincibility and a Clone that copes your moves. You can punch through some walls with A when standing still and there's extra guys around. You can get up to I think 4 or 5 Continues in the Options and Difficulty only changes how many Items you need to end the Level. The game plays really fast and its pretty tough with enemies coming out too fast to see and taking a lot of hits. Some enemy shots can't be seen easy and you gotta focus. Often bosses float around firing shots in a pattern so you gotta evade and attack. The graphics are pretty good and the music is likable. Its got kinda iffy controls with him skidding if going fast and you try to turn around. Also he often faces the wrong way. You can slide with Down when running and get under things or Do The Duck Walk or Crouch. Some hazards are tough to distinguish. Its not bad but some parts got me mad. Glad I did it. Good cutscenes but kinda tough and cheap.. I used Save States to save time.
Just beat Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon S for Game Gear on my 2DS. Its a simple game like those Barbie ones for little girls where you go from Left to right or zig zag up and do some platforming and beating enemies until you get to the end. At the end of the 1st 2 levels, you get Amara and Michelle's Charms and in the 3rd, is Trista's but its usually up where you gotta do platforming on blocks and moving things. If you get all 3, you get the Purity Chalice and become Super Sailor Moon before the boss and it makes you stronger. If you skip the 3rd Charm, it still goes to the boss but you don't got the Power Up. Its a simple game and has nice graphics that look right and even some voice samples. 1 button is jump, the other is attack and Start pauses. There's a Scepter attack that you find Icons for and I never figured out how to use it. You get unlimited Continues and Lives don't matter cuz the levels ain't long and Continues only 0 your score. There's mini games between levels like Matching until you find Tuxedo Mask or a Quiz but its in Japanese and I'm not Fluent yet. You play as only Serena and the art is pretty good for 8 Bit. The jumping is kinda off and floaty and you often drift to 1 side and gotta readjust, which throws you off. Its only like 5 levels and the final boss is Kaorinite who Space Folds in and out and can be beat with jumping around and kicking like a kid on nose candy. Its simple and not that tough and the controls could be better, but its not awful. I liked it and it had a few good parts. There's also a Password of 4 numbers if you wanna skip ahead. You can have up to 4 Hearts and refill from dropped ones but I think the health stays between levels and only resets after biting it. Its made for little Japanese girls but I had some fun with it. Glad I did this one. Oh and there's some Unskippable Cut Scenes like when Serena Transforms or a character says something..
Just beat Zero Wing for Sega Genesis on my 2DS. Its a Shmup where you use a Zig Fighter to fight a group in 2101 AD who took over the bases. Its best known for the meme All Your Base Are Belong To Us in its badly translated opening. You get Unlimited Continues. If you touch ANYthing, you bite it and return to the last Checkpoint, even if using a Continue. A/C fires and B is a Tractor Beam that catches enemies and uses it as a shield or projectile attack. There's 3 Weapon Power Ups; Spread, Lazer and Homing and they can upgrade by getting 2 of the same Power Up in a row.. There's also Options Above and Below that fire to the Right and can block enemy shots. Getting 2 Lazer then 1 Spread gives you upgraded Spread. There's also a Nuke you can collect fired like a B caught enemy and it does massive damage and negates enemy shots in its area. The graphics are good and the music is great, mainly the intro music, and it plays pretty well, but some parts are tough. In the Options you can turn on Autofire and change the number of lives or difficulty between Easy and Hard. Its more than a fun meme and is pretty decent, although I'm not that big on Shmups. I don't hate em, but I don't like the 1 hit kills much. I often run straight into enemy fire on instinct or w/e like the kid in Pet Semetary and the Road. The hard parts can be overcome by trial and error and there's always a power up or 2 when you resummon. The Speed Power Ups usually aren't but sometimes can make you too fast. Biting it wipes all Power Ups. Its not a bad game I'm glad I did it. Oh and some enemy shots blend into the background like the Skull Turrets that pop and send Debris out in brown on brown shots.
Just beat Virtua Fighter Animation for Sega Master System on my 2DS. Its a 2D Fighting Game based on the 90s Anime I think of the 90s game as TMS is credited in it. 11 button is punch and 1 is kick and you can switch em in Options. There's a VS and a Story Mode and in that, you fight the other guys, 1 by 1, until you beat em all. Each guy you beat unlocks em as a player character and if you lose, that guy is out until all are out and you use a Continue. Its pretty easy and simple and I only lost 1 fight against the Game Boss and beat him the other 2/3. The graphics are simple but have decent animation and there's good music and even a voice clip in Japanese at the end. The D Pad makes you Jump like its low Gravity and you can crouch. There's a 30 second timer and after that, who has more Life wins. Regular Kick is a head shot and knocks em back and on the floor. There's Ring Outs and you can walk off the arena. I think you can block but it never came up and holding Back didn't do anything. Also you can't pause and Start does nothing. The cutscenes are good but in a small square like its Sega CD and I can usually time it to kick em in the face as they get up and loop em until I ring em out or beat em. Also I can duck and punch and chip away at em. Its simple and can be beat in under half an hour but is decent and has some good bits. Glad I played this one. Its better than the Genesis one. The Story is pretty good too and makes me wanna watch the anime.
Just beat Vigilante for Sega Master System on my 2DS. Its a side scrolling Beat Em Uo where you play as this dude who gotta save his GF from a gang. so Hokuto no Ken. It Played like Last Battle on Genesis with 1 plane and little Platforming, and you beat down or jump over guys walking toward you. 1 button is a Punch, 1 is kick, both together is Jump, but Jump then Doqn and 1 or both buttons or w/e is a jump kick. The jump kick is needed to beat bosses and takes some getting used to. The game is like 5 levels and its got Lives that return you to a Checkpoint when running outta life, and Continues that restart the level. Its not bad and each boss has a way to beat, like crouching and punching in the right area or punching when near the van as the boss jumps at you and the punching hits without making contact (using Ki??). the bad guys strangle yo and you gotta spazz on the controls to get out and many guys can be jumped over to avoid. The graphics are nice for 8 bit and the music is fine. It controls mostly well but that jump kick needs some training to do. There's also Nunchaku to puck up by crouching but they go when hit too much. Its not too bad and I think there's unlimited continues, but some parts you need to do over and over to get past. There's often a Checkpoint near the boss and the final boss can ONLY be beat by jump kicks when he goes near and timing it. I think There's a Level Select thing with holding Up/Left/Both Buttons in the title screen. Its by Irem who did Spartan X and R-Type and Kid Niki and Holy diver. But think is the one I like best from their works. Glad i did it. Its simple, but from a past era before things advanced.
Just beat Sonic Forces on PS4. Its kinda 3D but with some 2D and a platformer. Its the 1st game I beat on a Sony System. You get Sonic, Past Sonic and Original The Character you can make who's not canon. You get clothes to wear on the Avatar and can choose the Species that gives different abilities and a Wisp Gun. X is jump/2nd jump/homing attack/Past Sonic's Drop Dash with jump then press and hold again, L/R shifts you Left/Right and R2 is a Wisp Gun that can be changed between levels, Circle is Stomp in air or Slide on ground, Triangle is Wisp Move like Lightening/Drill, Square is Boost and the Back buttons are Stop or Jump and keep getting hit when I don't want em to. You get infinite tries and there's a 60 min time limit(That you can beat several Sonic games in). The graphics are good and the music is great like all Sonic Games. It can be beat in under 2 hours but for me, the 1st boss took hours to do. You gotta jump and homing attack when Zavok on his Bee Mech stings the ground but I couldn't get it to work. Not sure why but I actually ran out the clock doing him. After 3+ Hours I beat him and the rest of the game is not so bad. So its like Sonic 2 on Game Gear how after the 1st Impossible boss, its easy. The story is pretty good as is the voicing but not sure why Silver is there as he's from the Future or w/e. The new bad guy named Infinite is kinda cool and the Phantom Ruby is part of Sonic Mania. Its not long but neither is the 1st few Sonic games and I kinda liked it, after beating that 1st boss. Some parts are kinda iffy with falling into pits or homing attacks not working but its not game breaking. If you get an S Rank you get 2x the Clothes. Also there's a Grappling Hook like Spider-Man the Avatar called The Rookie uses. Often I forget what button does what and just resort to homing attacks. Also the Lighening Wisp is a Whip like Castlevania Lord Of Shadow and makes you invincible kinda and can do more damage than homing attacks. Glad I Did This.
Just beat Fantasy Zone: The Maze for Sega Master System on my 2DS. Its basically Pac Man but 1 or 2 guys play as OpaOpa and UpaUpa to collect all the coins and avoid being touched by enemies. 1 button uses items you pick up by touching and you gotta have enough money to buy it. It wears off after a bit and don't carry over to the next of 51 levels. You get a few lives and no Continues so unless you use save states, you gotta be perfect. Each level can be beat in under a minute and you get more money for doing it fast. Its got nice colors and graphics and the music is good. It controls pretty well and you can pause with Start. There's a gate in each level enemies come outta that gradually turns red so you gotta touch it before its done or the enemies poop out smaller guys that move fast. Each time you buy a Power Up, the price goes up for the later levels so sometimes you gotta go naked. There's a Blue ROB The Robot looking thing in the corner that comes up and sometimes turns enemies into coins and a Power Thing that makes you invincible/faster and cream through enemies but its expensive. Sometimes enemies ignore your shots and bust you. Also often the enemies stop in the way to the Gate or on it and you gotta use a Weapon or evade em . I made it near the end on 1 run and saved in a place I couldn't beat it on my last life and not enough dough to buy anything so I was thinking of giving up, but started over and beat it. Its not bad but its pretty unforgiving. Oh and according to the text at the end, its a Prequel to the other Fantasy Zone games as here OpaOpa earned his right to have a twin blaster and other weapon as defaults. Glad I beat this but probably won't do it again. Its a decent mix of Pac Man and Fantasy Zone instead of a straight up clone. And there's bonus levels that you gotta go in a dark maze with only the area around you lit and there's a timer in those to get all the coins. Some levels have wall holes to loop to the other side and enemies can't.
Just beat VR Troopers for Game Gear on my 2DS. Its a 1 on 1 fighting 2D game like the Genesis Version based on the 90s kids show. You got a story mode where you play as 1 of the 3 Troopers, or a Battle Mode for free play as other characters. 1 button is punch and the other is kick and Start pauses. You can spazz on the controls to do special moves that you kinda need to beat the enemies as basic punches/kicks do diddley. You have options to have it on Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard or Very Hard and change it to best of 3 or 5 rounds. You can change the controls and time limit to 5 30 60 or none and can make the fighters normal or giant where they take up half the screen and can't jump. Its the same enemies from the show and the Genesis Version, but instead of clones of the players, you face Kameleon (like Mortal Kombat?) 3x and he actually has attacks now instead of only turning into other guys. The graphics and music are pretty good for 8 bit and are compressed versions of the Genesis one but a few are repeated and replaced a few from the 16 bit one. The story is different too as here the heroes come back to the Dojo at night and transform to beat the game. The Skugs are different here too as you gotta beat on 1 at a time and he spazzes out after beating him before refreshing and continue until the clock runs out. Good writing and dialogue like the show. It can be beat in like under 20 mins and I don't know about Continues as I never lost, but it was close a few times and I was on Easy. Not a bad game and like most fighting games, its a quick play but a fun ride. Glad I did this one. Its pretty cool.
Just beat Renegade for Sega Master System on my 2DS. Its one of the founding Beat Em Ups from the guy who later made Double Dragon and was based on his malcontent teen life of beating people up. Its by Taito and Technos and was The 1st Kunio Kun game in Japan but was Americanized to be like The Warriors or Mad Max here. 1 button is Hit Left, the other is Hit Right and both is a Jump Kick. Double Tapping Left/Right does a Rush in that Direction and you can Rush Jump Kick with but buttons or Rush Punch with the one your facing. Its 4 levels and each is like 3 screens that you move on to and ends with a boss that has a life bar. 1 level is on Motorcycles and you kick Up/Down with each button. To fight the guys on Bikes by spazzing around the D Pad and kicking the foe in the pinpoint spot to knock em off. Also you can get a White Star Power Up on there like the one on Pit Fighter that shows up when low on life that makes you Invincible ad hit harder. The final round is a 2D Maze where you go in the correct doors to get to get to the boss and fight guys and past bosses as regular foes. Your life fully refills after each area and the final boss uses a Gun that kills you in 1 hit, but if you get him in the wall, you can jump kick and move around to loop him. Sometmes you can get on top of the foe and beat on him when down. You only get 3 guys to beat the whole thing and falling off a ledge is instead death, but foes can be beat off it too. Its got nice graphics for 8 Bit and good music. Its not a bad game but some parts ae tough, but it can be beat in under 20 mins. The last level has a bar area that after beating the guys in, sends you to the start. Also biting it makes you restart the area you are on. Glad I did this one. Its a part of history in gaming. Oh and the Master System Version was done by Natsume. If you bite it, the bad guys throw you in a dumpster like in The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.
Just beat The Curse of Illmore Bay on Genesis. Its a platformer made by like a half dozen guys where you use 1 of 3 kids who gotta beat a Krampus looking Djinn that made the area a Halloweentown and people into bosses. 1 button is jump, 1 is attack and 1 is special that uses a Power you get from beating bosses. Its got refs to other horror\Halloween things like The Great Plumpkin or Cushing Lee. There's even Christmas things. You collect candy\fight enemies that's different in each of the 6 areas. There's 3 save files hat autosaves. You can change the controls and I like number 5 with C = Jump, B = Attack and A = Special, but going from C to A is a bit tricky. On 2 of my Turbo Pads, C and Start swapped somehow so I used a 6 button one but only are 3 used. It controls pretty good and the graphics work well with the Halloween style. The music is good and the game has a 90s G Rated horror vibe that feels good. You get 3 guys but can find 1ups but the game has em at 3 when you reload a save. Game overs put you back to the Title and you go back to the Save Files. It don't save the options and you gotta rechange the Controls each time you turn it on. Its by Second Dimension and is made in the 2010s but other than the cutscenes seeming like Lady Sia style Europeany art or Pajama Sam, its pretty 90s. It improves after playing it as you think of the retro style its got and your childhood it brings back. There's achievements for beating the bosses you were gonna beat anyway and other things and you can unlock a boss rush after beating the game. Its got some heart too with the bosses warmly giving you a power after you beat the evil outta em. The powers use a Magic Bar that's refilled with power ups and if out, good luck. You got a 6 hit life bar and you gotta find a Key in each level to unlock the White Sphere to end the level. The levels can be beat quick and biting it on a boss lets you try on him again. I'm glad I did this one and its worth the 65$ I paid for it.
Just beat Montezuma's Revenge Featuring Panama Joe for Sega Master System on my 2DS. Its a platformer where you play as this treasure hunter going in an ancient Aztec Tomb to find the treasure of this past ruler. It came out around when Indiana Jones did so its got that similar idea but I think its pretty good. Its published by Parker Brothers who usually did Board Games and was on various systems. You use button to jump and Start Pauses and that's it. Simple but it works. You get a few lives in the top corner shown as Hats and can hold several items like Keys to open doors or a Blade to use once to ice an enemy. If you touch an enemy or fall too far you bite it in 1 hit but sometimes you take the foe out with you. You gotta know where to go and what order to do things in, but if you do, the game can be beat in under 4 mins. I used a speedrun so I'd not be wandering around for hours and its pretty good. Simple graphics and sound but the opening of Panama Joe going in the Pyramid is pretty cool. After getting to the treasure room you loop the game again and again but I did it once and it was pretty fun. Lite Simple Clean and Fun. It plays pretty well but ladders you gotta stand directly on to go up/down. Its a quick run but enjoyable while it lasts, Like an ice cream from the Truck in the Summer. Glad I did this one.
Just beat Predator 2 for Sega Master System on my 2DS. Its a Top Down Run N Gun from Teeny Weeny Games and Acclaim who did that bad Wolverine game on Genesis. 1 button is fire and holding it autofires, and the other cycles through your weapons. The main Peashooter has unlimited ammo but the others like Spread Gun, Spray Gun and Grenades have a limit and need to be collected by finding huge guns on the ground. The game Autoscrolls but stops if you are on the side and. you gotta save captured people who stand up with arms out in an "I'm Free" pose like Batman Forever. You got guys coming after you and drain health from your big red bar at the bottom if they touch you and there's snipers you can't kill in the buildings that only fire in the same angle on either side. There's guys coming out of the ground you can ice but they recover, also the running guys have new ones come out after you waste 1. There's the 3 Red Target Dots that end you if locked on and can end captured guys if it gets on em. You gotta save the guys and after like 5 or so you face the boss 1 screen. The bosses are all different and often you gotta hit em when they come out or open up. It helps to know you can use diagonals but those are hard to get right. Also the enemies keep coming in those levels and you gotta dodge shots and guys. There's passwords to get to the level you want and I used Save States to save time. Also there's piles of something that heals you fully laying around. Its not too hard most of the time but can be tricky staying alive to get to the next area. Its based on the movie I never saw and in some times, you can stay in 1 part and fire on the boss when he comes out or for the game boss, stay near the top and fire when he pops up. The graphics and music are pretty good for 8 bit and it plays mostly well, but it can be tricky to cycle to the weapon you want in the heat of battle. Glad I played this. Its not as long as the Genesis ver but gets it done.
Just beat Tempo Jr. for Game Gear on my 2DS. Its a mascot platformer where you play as this Grasshopper (Which is Kosher somehow) and explore several levels to find this Key or Conductor Baton or w/e and then the Exit appears and you go to it. There's mini games like a Simon Clone where you have Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do in different colors and gotta repeat the pattern. Or a Hammer Game where you hit it at the right time to get the weight to the right one. 1 button is attack which is snapping fingers when far to fire a Music Note, or a kick when close. Also attack when double tapping left/right to do a rush can have you spin and nail enemies. the other button is jump and taping it in air lets you hover but you gradually drop, but you can keep holding it and go across the level if open. You can jump on enemies to pop em and pits and spikes don't kill you but make you scream and hop out. I honestly never died once as the game is really forgiving. Its graphics are where it shines with bright bold vivid colors and a really well animated main character. Great effects like his eyes stretching when he looks up and a pseudo 3D effect of his foot enbiggening when he sweeps it past as a kick. The music is nice and it controls pretty well. Its pretty lite and simple but its more of showing off the full power of the Sega Game Gear. It reminds me a bit of Blender Bros on GBA or a Treasure Game but more simple. I had fun with it and yeah it don't last long and I think there's a Password thing if you don't wanna beat it in 1 sitting or wanna go to your fave level, but its on Game Gear and that thing sucked batteries dry quick. The bosses have simple patterns and I think its more of a kids game but its based on the 32X and Saturn games of Tempo which had bright colors and great animation. Sometimes its good to beat a game in 1 sitting. Not everything has to be Battletoads. Glad I did this one. Its a really positive time.
