Melonmania! No, it's not a game about topless
models, it's a game about actual melons. It was
programmed by Karl Hornell of Fungus / Clean-Up Time
fame.
The idea of the game is quite simple - wonder the
land in search of melons, pick them up (onto your head)
and drop them off into a barrel that sits outside your
little shed. Simple? Well, not so really as there are
hordes of nasties wandering the land that will kill you
and knock your melon off your head. The game's graphics are
bright and colourful in Karl's inimitable style and
plays just as you would expect one of his game to. It's
fun to play, but becomes repetitive and a little
frustrating. If you like your action games to require
very little thought and simple game play then load this
one up...
"Cooooor, look at
them melons"
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I wandered about collecting the melons until all thirty
were safely dropped into the barrel.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
If you manage to drop the final melon in the barrel, the
game is beaten. An animated sequence follows showing the
main character walking across the screen with a stack of
melons in the background. A message is displayed above
it which reads 'GOOD WORK! YOU COLLECTED ALL THE
MELONS. PRESS FIRE BUTTON TO PLAY AGAIN'.
