An off-the-wall 90’s top-scrolling shooter PC title with a hero who accidentally gets in *way* over his head and has to fight his way out of it. The development team took the piss with the story in the BEST POSSIBLE WAYS, the gameplay is exactly what you expect from the genre, and the soundtrack is all kinds of fun. Area 88 inspired this pack, at least in so far as I still had scrolling shooters on the brain.
In a lot of ways, this probably shouldn’t have become as much of an extended MSU as it did, but I think it worked out in the end.
What can I say? HOLOGRAPHIC MIND CONTROL SINCE BIRTH.
Notable track: Beer — Yes, there’s a minigame where you collect beer. Well, ale, really, but the track is still titled ‘beer’ for whatever reason. Yes, I dropped it in the Faerie Fountains (and on the guards in Kakariko, if you run into a snitch). It’s too hilarious not to use, and still too hilarious to only use in a situation where it would be heard only accidentally (by attaching it to the Soldiers of Kakariko track). Not something I would normally have considered for a Faerie track, but here we are.
