![]() It certainly presents a particularly brutal line of slapstick. It's also a constantly funny game, with plenty of sight gags. For example, fundamentally, the FBI descending from helicopters to attack are virtually identical to the Communist Soldiers exploding from the ground, but it feels very different. When it returns to one, you'll often get a visual twist. ![]() Action is constant and varied, with the game constantly mixing up its elements. Then there's the array of vehicles you can pick up, with short trips in cars, tanks, giant yeti and other assorted elements of the delirious Invader-Zim-homage you're thrown into. Add an R-type-styled energy-build-up-blast, and you've got an amusing arsenal to unleash. Oh yes - and if he fires close up, he dispatches foe with a knife-slash rather than a laser. His stay is only limited by the amount of time his lungs can hold out, but until then he can grab passers-bys down with him. As a defensive measure, the Hominid can burrow into the ground where he's invulnerable. Less dramatically, a forward roll allows you to nip beneath an incoming bullet. Time a jump right and you can grab hold of people's heads, then either lift them from the floor to lob at the opposition or bite their bonce clear off, to the horror of their nearby friends. In addition to these standards, they've given the little chap an expanded, demented action set too. However, the execution is cartoon-perfect and ripe with charm. And, yes, the results are almost as unimaginative. Yes, they're standard weapons you may expect to see in any arcade game. A flamethrower either reduces them to an embarrassed cinder or sets them running about in an understandable panic. A blast of the freeze-ray and reduce those who dare try and prevent you leaving the Earth into statues to shatter. Fire the red laser beams and slice your targets in half, slumping messily to the side like a prime side of beef. He shoots people, and they die in a splendidly bloody fashion. Hominid makes a compulsive and charismatic star, the very best quality of sociopathic teenager's notebook margin-scrawlings brought into technicolour life. Start Alien Hominid and you discover that you have many lives. The lesson in question: the number of lives a game gives you is inversely proportional to its quality. Things which were always bad signs back in the day rear their ugly head here. Returning to this Metal-Slug-style side-on blaster, you realise that no matter how much has changed, fundamentally, nothing has. Starting on the Amiga, I was in the front line of its battle in the post-Sonic Brushfire conflict where everyone and their dog made a rudimentary side-on action game of varying flavours. Writing nonsense about videogames in exchange for a small pile of money). Just do a bit of research first before purchasing.It's with no small horror that I realise I'm inching towards my ten year's anniversary of doing this (i.e. Just do a bit of research first before purchasing. Or a Pokemon Hyper Black Edition which does not exist, ever. Example would be a game called Pokemon Yellow on a GBA cart, we all know it was only released on GB/GBC. As of GBA carts, most bootleg used a battery in order to save your game properly except for early gba pokemon games that actually has internal battery like ruby and sapphire.If i remember correctly, FireRed no longer uses one.Īnyway, as I've said, i am no expert, so if you don't care whether you get the genuine or bootleg then just go whichever seller has the highest rating or has a more "genuine" looking cartridge and has a fair price.ĭo keep in mind that if the title does not exist in internet database and or image on sticker does not match the actual game artwork online then the ROM is most likely a fan-made. ![]() I'm not an expert but what i do know is that there's not much of a difference between bootleg and genuine gb/gbc carts, only issue you will have is it might not save properly in the case of pokemon games where there's an internal battery or there might be a random glitch in-game (not that the original doesn't have them as well).
