Another short and sweet one today.

Preamble: This isn't a review. It doesn't contain critical analysis, just the subjective opinions of one person. The intent is to remember the games I've come across in my life and share the nostalgia, nothing more

Bio Menace

Developer: Jim Norwood and Apogee
Platform: PC
Release Year: 1993
Stephen's Rating: 6/10

[image loading]

Bio Menace is a 2D scrolling platform game built using the Commander Keen game engine.

Basic Plot

You play the role of CIA agent Snake Logan who crash lands in Metro City while investigating a mutant invasion. The story doesn't get any deeper than this - you pretty much wade through each level fighting enemies, avoiding traps, and collecting key items and powerups.

[image loading]
That's got to be the boss... I wonder if he moves or if the game engine couldn't handle a sprite that big moving?

Gameplay

The game plays out pretty much as a standard platform game. You start off with a normal gun with normal bullets but the powerups found in each level can alter your gun to become much more powerful. To get past each level you normally need to acquire a keycard.

[image loading]
Now THAT'S what I call a scary looking mutant.

Positives

I remember enjoying this game a lot. It didn't pretend to be anything other than a platform game where you shoot mutants, and it had a more polished art style than games such as Crystal Caves or Secret Agent.

I'm pretty sure Snake has a mullet.

Negatives

The story was dire and pretty cliche. This game didn't really add anything to the industry, it was just cashing in on an existing engine.

But I'm off creep... and so I slow down, what are hellions doing here? I don't belong here...

Man I really wish you would make these into reviews. I wish you would give more details and more substance here. There has to be more to say about the levels and the experiences you had playing thru it then 5-6 sentences.

Have you ever played Rise of the Triad? It was the first PC game I ever played. Anyway, keep it up and add more! content!
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

It depends on the game and how long ago I played it. I'm not going to turn these into reviews, but for some of the upcoming games I have a LOT more to say. As for this, it's more of a "remember this game?". The original concept was a private blog which I could look back on, so as not to forget any of the games I'd played as a child, but I've made it public in the hopes that some others might enjoy the nostalgia.

Definitely going to take your feedback on board though. The problem is, I wrote this blog entry over 6 months ago and I'm releasing them in the original order I wrote them (1 per day) so it'll be a while before I can incorporate your feedback. I'll see what I can do though, appreciate your response.

I remember this game. Had the Shareware version of it (anyone remember Shareware?).
Average means I'm better than half of you.
