Virtual Bart (1994)

by Sculptured Software, Acclaim Entertainment
Genres:Platform, Puzzle
Themes:Action, Comedy, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Bart's reality goes virtual when he is strapped into Martin Prince's Virtual Reality experiment at the elementary school science fair. Each virtual reality program represents a stage in the game that Bart must play through in order to escape the machine before the programs crash. The game consists of three side-scrolling platform stages and three stages that take place from a rear view. Bart assumes the roles of a pig, dinosaur, and baby for the platform stages. He tosses tomatoes and eggs, slides down a water slide, and drives a motorcycle in a post-apocalyptic Springfield for the three remaining stages. They are all accessed by chance via a wheel-of-misfortune.Show more

Virtual Bart was one of many 90's games to attempt virtual reality concept. It's essentially a spiritual successor to Bart's Nightmare. Just like that Bart game, you play as Bart in a few mini games. Unlike Bart's Nightmare, you don't have to walk repeatedly for something to happen. Bart's in an VR machine that acts like a wheel that selects stuff. You even get or lose extra lifes as well. All the mini games are notably different from each other. Most of them are slightly different platformer mini games. Dino Bart being my favorite among those. The other mini games are vastly different. You have a post apocalypse mini game similar to Mad Max with Road Rash. You get a water slide mini game that's surprisingly creative. Some of the most fun game overs I ever seen in an game. Of course, we gotta talk about the famous throwing tomatoes/eggs mini game. This is indirectly you playing Golf. You have to line up your shot similar to that sport. This had a deep learning curve. I never forget the mess up game over for this mini game. Homer is eating corn dogs then freaks out over an corn dog looking like Bart. Before he eats it more like Treehouse of Horror humor. This is very likely the easiest Acclaim Simpsons game to get into. You also get my favorite mode, Practice Mode. You can play as any mini game without worrying about any game overs. I wish Bart's Nightmare had that!!! Virtual Bart does differ from SNES and Genesis versions in a few areas. For the most part the same exact game.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

Cosmo Police Galivan
Cosmo Police GalivanCosmo Police Galivan puts the player in control of a human being armed with a beam blade, which is only able to attack monsters in close proximity. As the game continues, the player character can use different powers - some ranged - to take out enemies and progress further. Eventually, the player will have the option of becoming a metal-armored officer with considerably more fire-power, though this power-up state will vanish if too much damage is taken. The player character will also level-up after destroying so many enemies, improving their health and "cosmo points" - a stat similar to mana that is used to power the player character's special attacks. The game's world is a network of caves that the player can explore for necessary items and bonus areas. The NES version expands this aspect, providing some Metroidvania-esque exploration. Some impediments are in place to restrict further exploration until the right item is found, as well.

Saw II: Flesh & Blood
Saw II: Flesh & BloodThe demented serial killer Jigsaw returns with more gruesome torture puzzles designed to test the limits of human ethics in Saw II: Flesh & Blood. Set between the second and third Saw films, Flesh & Blood puts players in the shoes of Michael, son of the first game's protagonist Detective David Tapp, as he looks for clues as to his father's death and becomes the latest target of Jigsaw and his strange apprentice Pighead II. The gameplay once again mixes heavy doses of survival horror and puzzle-solving with mild combat elements, as players attempt to help themselves, and others, out of life-and-death situations by successfully completing mini-games and quick-time events. The combat comes in two forms, with gamers using melee attacks and a variety of weapons in physical battles against Jigsaw's thugs, or executing puzzle-based attacks that make use of traps and environmental hazards. Various case files are strewn about the hotels, factories, and sewers in which the game is set, and players can also collect a number of Billy the Puppet dolls hidden throughout each level. As was the case with its predecessor, Saw II: Flesh & Blood includes multiple endings based on choices gamers make throughout the story.
