MONTHLY 5 - FEBRUARY 2021

February's games are here and we start with the last remaining game in the Animani-verse with Animaniacs: A Gigantic Adventure (1999 SouthPeak Interactive). This one's a platformer, so read read on to see if it lives up to Konami's 16-bit classics. If you want something a little more serious, then check out the incredibly obscure Death by Dark Shadows (1994 William R. Fisher III), a dark and spooky cinematic platformer that has you play as a black panther. Following on from last month's educational adventure comes EcoQuest II: The Lost Secrets of the Rainforest (1993 Sierra On-Line) which sees you befriending an Amazonian bat as opposed to dolphin royalty. Still, I'm sure there's still enough litter picking to keep an average ex-con out of trouble. If you're a racing fan, why not try the first NASCAR Racing (1994 Papyrus Design Group)? It pits up to 38 stock cars against each other in an early polygonal crash-fest. Then, in a blatant move to be topical, there's Vaxine (1990 The Assembly Line) which has you throwing multicoloured balls around in the psychedelic brain of patient zero. I'm glad real-life vaccines don't work that way, otherwise we'd be screwed.

On top of all this, there are a couple of updates to mention too. Alice: An Interactive Museum (1991-94 Synergy Interactive Corp) and the cancelled WarCraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans (Blizzard Entertainment) have received new versions. Check out their pages for more details.

  1. I'm guessing you know that SouthPeak Interactive also did a Pinky and the Brain game, will we be seeing that in the future?

    I actually thought with the recent passing of Christopher Plummer we would have seen Star Trek Klingon Academy get released as a tribute, will we be seeing that anytime soon?

    1. There's also one more Animaniacs game I recently found as well, but its a slight promotional thing from the old WB Kids website. Unlike P&TB World Conquest, it's not worth even a mini-review so I might retroactively add it to the collection in an update.

      I do have more Star Trek planned, but I completely forgot Christopher Plummer was in Klingon Academy. I've been spending too much time on Hidden Evil which is still giving me grief - fix one thing and another fails.

  2. Thanks a lot for doing this for us, this time especially for EcoQuest 2, NASCAR Racing and the updated WarCraft Adventures!
