5200 Gremlins...I'm a little disappointed

Postby Teddybear1 » May 28th, 2012, 8:24 am

First let me say this game is a blast to play.  Beautiful graphics, nice music and as the Critic opined it really does capture the spirit of the movie.  It is a lot of fun to go "Kill Bill" on the Gremlins with your sword.  On the higher levels the challenge does increase in intensity.

But.........then it flatlines and just doesn't get any harder.  The instruction manual states that night 23 is the hardest.  After passing that level I made it to night 36 but pretty much became bored as nothing else changed.  No new room configuations and same game speed.  I did notice in these higher levels a longer pause before the room appeared (like the CPU was taking longer due to the numerous objects on the screen).

I'm just a little disappointed since getting to night 23 wasn't that hard to do.  Anyone play this game until the end (perhaps to level 99)?

Do not have this game yet but I have a working 5200 controller again so I hope to start tracking more games down.

 

Thanks for the game info Teddybear!
