I
don’t have a large collection of roms. So don’t sue me.
However, I frequently enjoy firing up a game I’ve never heard of or just never played just
to get my jollies. I’m weird. I’ve often recounted these explorations to people I know and
lolz are usually had. So I thought, why not put the account of my adventures here?
So here’s volume one:
SWAT Kats
I have never heard of SWAT Kats, but a swift swing to Wikipedia nets me this info:
"SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron is a Hanna-Barbera American animated series created
by Christian Tremblay and Yvon Tremblay. The show ran in syndication from 1993 to 1995,
when it was canceled. The show was based in the fictional metropolis of Megakat City,
which is populated entirely by anthropomorphic felines, known as "kats". "
Ok. I’m sold. Let’s start this shit up.
After a brief intro that appears to be a large feline flying around into the remains of John
Candy’s exhumed corpse, I hit start and get ready for some super mega awesome Kat
SWAT action.
Alright, all jokes aside, its time to pick a character. First up there’s T-Bone:
Then there’s Razor:
(Don’t give me sass. I know it’s actually spelled Rahzar)
I picked T-Bone. Not sure why.
Next was level selection.
I went with the big ferris wheel, even though I figured if I went to visit Onyx, I’d run into
Ash. Then I could finally beat him with his own Pokedex. Oh well.
I soon find this big ferris wheel is called “Mad Kat Land.” Now that scares the shit out of me.
Good job game.
Falling clown heads burst into smaller clown heads. I’m kind of freaked out. I then fall
down the first jumping section three straight times. Why? Because I was distracted by this:
Is that a pepper? Why is there a floating pepper power up in a game about genetically
superior SWAT Kats?
Needless to say I quickly exhausted my first 4 lives.
And I had no desire to play again. Oh well.
swat kats.
however, i have never until now seen a swat kat outside of their fucking swat kat jets...
what the hell is that?
Ew?
There was one episode where one button shot out a net launcher, with little rockets attached to the net, then the same button miraculously makes a vat of lava protrude from the bottom of their jet and they pour it on to the giant monster.
Pretty sure the jet then turns in to some kind of mining tank and they go underground.
So good.
I remember the game having awesome music, but judging from the shots here, the gameplay looks pretty shit. Like the Darkwing Duck game or something. Another awesome cartoon given a shitty game.
Oh well
