Reviews for Molecule Man (#3242)

Review by YOR on 04 Dec 2018 (Rating: 1)

WoS' randomseek presented me Big Bad John, a game from Harry Price and so I ignored it and instead chose to look at the very game its code from stolen from, because well, he's a bastard. But as it turns out, looking at this game was a mistake too. Basically, you are Molecule Man and you must find your way to safety by collecting 16 circuits in order to use the teleporter to escape, however time and radiation are against you. The time is a common problem but the radiation is a big problem, this is because as you play the game your RAD counter will go down and you need pills to increase, but they can only be bought using money, and money can also, or preferably, be used to buy bombs which can help guide you to new new places. Basically, you to need to find a coins, spend them on pills, otherwise you are dead and you don't have a lot of time to do it, in fact you have around 36 seconds to do so. Yes, your very game can end in just 36 seconds if you fail to buy any pills in order to stay alive. This concept is ridiculous and words fail me that is exists. I'm beginning to see why Harry Price pirated these games, because most of these were rubbish before he got his grubby hands on them he reckoned he could make them play better, or worse most likely.
