Clayfighter
SCORE: 59
Were you able to catch the live stream
where Noah and I played Clayfighter? If you missed it then you can check
out the video sections of our website for the video on demmand. We are
bringing that video to our different video sites as we get the bandwidth
to do so. I remember this game from the 16-bit era. Noah had his eyes
opened by Clayfighter in so many ways. He had never heard of Clayfighter
or the concept of this game.
The fighters in Clayfighter are Frosty, Taffy, Tiny, Blob, Blue Suede
Goo, Icky, Helga, and Bonker. Families pick a character and the stage to
fight in. The fighters in Clayfighter are all claymation. So their moves
can look a bit janky at times. The collision detection is suspect at
times in Clayfighter as well. Spamming buttons can really help you win
in Clayfighter. I remember that from back in the day, and was able to
teach it to Noah.
We pummel one another in Clayfighter until one of us has no more health.
The first player to two wins is the one that wins the match in
Clayfighter. I did some research and found Clayfighter was a joke game
mocking the Street Fighter II kinds of games. Clayfighter wound up
earning its own cult following as some gamers actually enjoyed this
video game. There were even sequels to Clayfighter. So it reached an
audience that appreciated it back in the day.
We played Clayfighter on the Evercade. Clayfighter can also be found on
the Genesis and Super NES. I actually own the Super NES version of
Clayfighter and have played it before. The computer can really dominate
and challenge the player in Clayfighter. Which is why playing with
someone else is always better in my humble opinion. On top of the
violence there is some crude humor within Clayfighter. The Elvis
Impersonator may have you laughing. UH-HUH!
I do not recall how many other parody video games were made back in the
day. I know plenty of video games contain joke characters like Dan. I am
glad I was able to share Clayfighter with Noah and teach him some video
game history. Clayfighter requires ruthless aggression to win. The
quicker you take out your opponent the quicker you are done with the
round. Showing mercy in Clayfighter will not work in your favor.
