Boogerman
SCORE: 55
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase the Interplay
Collection 1 on the Evercade systems. Boogerman is one of the six games
on that compilation cartridge. I remember Boogerman from back in the day
and not fondly. The name of this game is exactly what you should expect
this game to be. There is plenty of gross humor. Boogerman probably
paved the way for even worse games like Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Which took
the concepts of Boogerman and made them even worse.
There is plenty of potty humor within Boogerman. I actually mean that
literally. We go down toilets, flick boogers and more in this 2D side
scrolling action adventure video game. There are also all kinds of gross
looking enemies and areas to look at. I had trouble discerning in
Boogerman what is part of the background and what would interact with
me. I took plenty of hits because of this.
As far as the level design goes Boogerman is pretty uninspired. We can
work our way up through trees, or stay on the ground. There are some
toxic waste looking areas near the bottom of Boogerman levels too. I
found it was better to climb higher in case a mistake was made. Then I
might be able to survive it. There are also secrets hidden in different
areas of the levels within Boogerman.
The sounds in Boogerman go along with the visuals. Expect to hear crude
humor and gross sounds while playing Boogerman. If you are looking at
video games that have given the industry a bad image then look no
further than Boogerman. I know there are plenty of other video games
that hurt the image of the entire industry. Boogerman is right up there
with them especially from the 16-bit era.
I like all of the different animations that happen in the levels within
Boogerman. Green is a real major color used in this game. There is a
definite challenge that will interest hardcode gamers. Boogerman is not
the kind of a video game that families will be into in my opinion. The
same thing goes for casual gamers.
