Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 9: Piko Interactive Collection 1
OH CHRIST MY EYES. Still screenshots do not display just how disorienting the movement in this game is, the background swooping around and making the entire game give off a sense of absolute vertigo as you go.
Not that the gameplay is good either thanks to a set of clumsy controls, enemies and traps that'll just pounce at you when you cant see them properly and one-hit kills that just sap any goodwill I may have attemped to store for this game. Boo.

music's great and it's definitely a good challenge but the limited continues and just generally boring and uninspired gameplay really bogs the game down. if you check it out i'd recommend you use savestates/cheats, but do try the game legit at some point. 3d effect is pretty cool too but not really needed
5/10

If you wanted Mega Turrican but shit then this is the game for you.
Jim Power is...taxing. It's unbelievably difficult and a complete and total eyesore. You're supposed to have 3D goggles on hand or something, which gives it the intended effect that they boast about in the title. Without them though, it's...one of the ugliest games I've ever seen in my life. It's probably not even much better with goggles. Could not name one visually appealing point throughout.
Also his name is misleading bc he dies in one hit always. There are also limited continues, so without savestates I don't know about you but I couldn't imagine myself getting pretty much anywhere. It's not necessarily like, trolly though. It does function and play alright in spite of the difficulty, but god I just can't stand to even look at it. I can't like honestly rate it higher because of that, I really don't know what they were thinking there.

This is an SNES Port of an exceptionally brutal Amiga game, and this game, while broken and kind of terrible also has incredible music by the legendary Chris Huelsbeck.
The levels are exceptionally hard, only 5 full worlds in the game, all of which are absolutely brutal, and each of which plays different from the last. The game looks great given when it came out though, and while the parallax backgrounds are somewhat nauseating, they really create an interesting look that really solidifies the look of the era.
The soundtrack is why you play this game, Beating this game is basically impossible too, I've done so with cheats, but this game is astoundingly unfair, and there are broken parts of the third level that can hard lock the game, but the real gem of this game is the use of Parallax to make this mess of maximalist pixel art, and chiptune power metal.
You also will feel like a god whenever you beat a level.
