Blue Lightning
SCORE: 75
I hope you were able to participate with
the Twitch live stream I did where I played the Blue Lightning video
game on the Evercade system. Blue Lightning is also on the Atari Lynx.
This hand held video game is an arcade air fighter. We take out a jet
and shoot all of the enemies trying to destroy us. This can be an array
of different things ranging from other planes to ground defenses.
Blue Lightning has the military feel to it. We have a limited number of
missiles in Blue Lightning. We do not have any limits on our machine
guns. We have five lives while we are completing missions within Blue
Lightning. I loved the landing sequences in Blue Lightning personally.
Thankfully the game took care of the landing and taking off for me. I
appreciate that. Microsoft Flight Simulator taught me how hard it is to
land and aircraft.
The graphics scroll nicely in Blue Lightning. The plane looks really
good. I loved moving the plan around to get a god look at it while
playing Blue Lightning. Yes the plane is blue and it brings the lighting
to the enemy troops. Flying around is very easy and simple within Blue
Lightning. I learned to avoid missiles from the enemy equipment while
playing Blue Lightning on the Evercade. I personally feel the Evercade
is the better way to play Atari Lynx video games.
The biggest issue families will have with Blue Lightning is the
violence. We are shooting an insane number of objects within Blue
Lightning. I felt like I was single handedly invading an evil country
and taking out their defenses. There would be few defenses left for that
country after I played Blue Lightning. I did not get all of their planes
or defenses either. I was unable to take all of them out. Blue Lightning
lets players finish the level without removing all of the enemy
equipment. I appreciate that leniency.
All in all I enjoyed my time with Blue Lightning. This arcade shooter
reminds me of plenty of games in the past. Blue Lightning does not try
to be a simulation. Blue Lightning does not try to be completely
accurate. Blue Lightning challenges you to stay alive and shoot as much
as you can. I learned to not always be on offense because missiles can
come from a plethora of different places.
