Disposable Heroes [The Power House]
a.k.a.
The Invasion of the Mega Garbage Beings

1987 The Power House (UK)
by Grant Jaquest

Why did Power House release such dire games? Wasn't SQIJ enough?
I can even ignore the snotty graphics but the gameplay is simple obnoxious. Disposable is the only thing that makes any sense in the whole game.

Upon playing this I thought this game looked familiar, and indeed it was. It was later re-written as Overkill and published by Atlantis, and it's a game I previously reviewed and thought it was a bit crap, and this is very much worse. On one hand it means that to the author's credited, while he did release the same game twice but with certain tweaks to make it appear to be a different game, Overkill was an improvement in the very least. On the other, this is appalling and right up there with The Power House's other games which now makes me wonder if Atlantis made the improvements to the game for Overkill rather than the author. But simply put Disposable Heroes is exactly as its name entitles, disposable, and it's disposable because it's rubbish. And we give companies like Tiertex and Titus a rough ride, did The Power House release anything good? With games like this, Freedom Fighter and of course the almighty SQIJ, I'm guessing no.
