Game #14: Todd’s Adventures in Slime World – Sega Genesis

I just don’t get it.

The game seems to be entirely a series of slime tubes that you wander around and shoot slime creatures in.  And pick up slime things.  And clean yourself off in pools of water.  And listen to the same 20 second musical loop over and over and over and over and over…

I think this game came from the Lynx, where this kind of gameplay makes more sense.  On the Genesis, it just seems empty.

Strangely, this game has a password-based continue system and many checkpoints.  It doesn’t seem like this game would be long enough to need something like that, but I’m not complaining.
