Human Cannonball
SCORE: 51
I am very thankful that I had the money to
purchase the Atari Collection 2 on the Evercade system. One of the
reasons I am grateful is
Human Cannonball is on that cartridge. I may have played this game
back in the day. Human Cannonball is a classic example of what went
wrong in that era of gaming. We are launching a person into what looks
like a sign. We cannot go above or below that sign. If we go above or
below we fail. Human Cannonball only gives the player so many tries to
get it right.
What happens after you get it right in Human Cannonball? The winds shift
and we must guess what the right angle will be to make it right this
time. I noticed at times in Human Cannonball what made logical sense did
not work. I extrapolated a bit of math and was more perplexed after
playing Human Cannonball than before I started. There is no guide to see
where you will go so it is always a guess with Human Cannonball.
I did not have much fun with Human Cannonball. Hopefully you saw the
live stream I did of Human Cannonball. If not you can always check out
the video of Human Cannonball on our website. As we get the financial
resources we are uploading our videos to a mirage of video sites. Lord
willing Human Cannonball will arrive on those video sites as well at
some point in the future.
Human Cannonball does not look great. There are some special effect
sounds but Human Cannonball is really lacking in the audio department as
well. The gameplay of Human Cannonball is obnoxious at best. The more I
played Human Cannonball the more irritated I became with it. Three miles
per hour wind is a twenty. I tried a nineteen for the winds of two miles
per hour. That was under. So I went back to twenty and that was over.
The game did not allow me anything in between. How does that even
happen?
If you are curious about video games that assisted with the video game
crash then please check out Human Cannonball. This game is a great
example of what not to do in a video game. I do not plan on playing
Human Cannonball in the future. It was enough of a traumatizing
experience before. I recommend families pass on Human Cannonball. It
will only confuse and annoy you.
