The Incredible Crash Dummies was developed by Gray Matter Inc. and published by LJN, Ltd. in 1993 for the NES.
In the game, you take control of Slick in a story-line loosely tied in with the animated movie of the same name. The crash dummy is sent on a quest to recover the Torso 9000 and defeat the Junkman!.
The game adopts a traditional side-scrolling playing style in which each level must be finished from left to right and Junkman's minions defeated along the way. Whenever Slick suffers damage he loses a limb, until he has none left and loses a life. The loss of limbs does not otherwise affect gameplay. He can recover lost limbs by collecting screwdrivers throughout each area of each level. In total there are sixteen levels to complete divided into four areas, each of which must be completed under a specified amount of time. To defend himself, Slick comes equipped with spanners he can throw at his enemies, and their supply is limited, so keep an out all you trigger-happy gamer's out there!. At the end of each area a boss character must be fought and, when successfully completed, a bonus stage can be entered. In the bonus stage the player drives a crash test vehicle and rakes up bonus points as the speed rises, which is a nice touch to an other-wise run of the mill platform-side-scroller. And the Verdict is...
Decent game in'all. There's enough meat on the bone to keep you interested and a few happy-gaming hours are bundled in to this little platform title. It's well worth a shot!. |
