Bio Menace

oh boy good old days with Apogee

Classic from the DOS days. Holds up pretty well

Maybe in 1993 it was much more playable, but today? Not so much.

Bio Menace is one of dozens of shareware 2D platformers that Apogee churned out in the 1990s. It's a fairly generic 2D platformer/shooter where you collect keys and gun upgrades and combat alien critters continually patrolling left then right (their way of attacking the planet apparently) between boxes and crates that you have to jump over so you can shoot them. This one has dated quite badly, it was never a competitor for the more successful Duke Nukem and Commander Keen franchises, yet 3D Realms is going another greed fuelled price gouge on this old abandonware they have no intention to modernise. Once more, thumbs down to this kind of nostalgia cash grab.

-: niektorí nepriatelia, zvuky zbraní, príbeh, herná doba, hlavná postava, nejednoznačná atmosféra +: grafika, hudba, zbrane, zábava, lokácie, nepriatelia, finále, hra za mutanta Verdikt: V roli agenta Logana zo CIA máte opäť zachrániť svet, respektíve najprv to bude Metro City. Inváziu tentokrát predstavujú hordy mutantov. No bolo to tu už niekoľkokrát a tak originalitu v príbehu fakt netreba hľadať. Herná náplň je teda jednoduchá a spočíva v likvidácii mutantov a záchrane civilistov. Hra sa skladá z troch epizód a každá sa odohráva v špecifickom prostredí. Každé z nich obsahuje určité typy nepriateľov, ktoré občas pôsobia komicky alebo ako by boli vystrihnutí z nejakej rozprávky pre deti. Herná doba jednotlivých epizód predstavuje približne hodinu, čo je málo. Celkovo hra Bio Menace nevie čo chce. Raz sa tvári seriózne a po chvíli pôsobí ako paródia na akčné hry. V porovnaní s konkurenciou na trhu zaostáva a tak pre agenta Logana to možno bola posledná misia. 63%
