----------
In 1989, Nintendo had Mario and Sega had Alex Kidd. NEC's PC Engine was definitely lacking a figurehead
of its own - a loyal and subservient über-soldier
who will not hesitate to take on the opposition and
sort them out at the gates.
So Hudson came up with the 'PC Genjin' - a bizarre
and deformed hero from some near-indescribable prehistoric
dimension, kitted out with nothing more than a loincloth,
an iron head and a distinctively wry smile.
Distinctive is the word… Hudson's designers delivered
a truly unique hero here, and some very one-off game
mechanics to boot. The 'PC Kid' can head butt, jump,
spin and dive down head first in mid-jump, bouncing
off the enemy. You can bash folk around all over the
place.
It's great fun: the game's creative levels, zany character
design and quirky hidden bonus games make it a great
little romp, and a good prelude to the peak of the series
- the brilliant PC
Genjin 2 (1991). |
