Whatever happened to Kelly Roberts?
Oh Kelly, you have no idea how much I miss seeing you in the merchandise department, I’m old enough to remember when Kelly was introduced, she and her little crib and her little black dress and her pink nighty. But somehow in the 2000s, Barbie’s sisters were kind of phased out and hardly seen….and we can thank the Bratz for that (if they didn’t have to exist, then My Scene wouldn’t have to exist) granted the sisters were eventually brought back but, sigh Chelsie will always be Kelly to me…though it kind of bothers me that Skipper and Stacie never got their own thing, I mean they both have their own group of friends, but they never had their own individual product in such a long time like maybe not since Yo-Yo Skipper(which by the way got a shout out in the Barbie movie), I mean why bother introducing Chrissy if her older sisters are going to be horrendously underused, I think Kelly’s final appearance may have been Fun Treats Barbie and Kelly *one youtube later* apparently Kelly’s last major product was the Kelly and Friends dolls in 2007, because I guess they were trying to reintroduce her considering that now Barbie was no longer tied down with My Scene
Gameplay and Story: So Kelly and her friends (which includes Ken’s baby brother Tommy, another one in the brand that’s disappeared, no he wasn’t in the movie or the scene of discontinued Barbies) decide to perform a magic show just because, so we play minigames just so we can get find our friends so we can get special items so we can get the keys from our friends in order to find tickets for them to participate and watch the show (wish Barbie was watching the show too but neither she or any of the other Roberts sisters show up in the game)
Graphics: They are what they are considering it’s a game boy color game, I’m just sorry that Kelly’s staying power didn’t last long enough for her to get a game boy advance game but by then My Scene was about to start up, and even th... Read the rest of this Review

Odell Down Under

mmmm....Fish
Yeah, I thought I was finished with the MECC games as well (I'm not going to ask for eXplore Yellowstone here because it's well there's no plot to it really), but I think this might be the last one, so I figured this should get a review too, it’s ones of my favourites
Gameplay and story: This is a bit of a sequel to Odell Lake except instead of choosing whether to eat the fish or dive to avoid being eaten, you basically have to go around a portion of the Great Barrier Reef (that’s why it’s called Odell Down Under), though there are three ways to die if there isn’t enough of the fish that is part of your diet or if you eat something poisonous (like the sea wasp, or the Anemone) or you can starve to death. The worst that can happen is if you click on the giant clam that normally hangs around ,You can also die from an infection if your health goes south but that’s what the cleaner fish are for, you go up to a blue streak cleaner wrasse and they bring your health back to normal, and there’s the banded coral shrimp they can clean you too, though you can also eat them. Basically, the main object of the game is to survive, gain the points you need to upgrade to a bigger fish
Graphics: Well, they are what they are considering this was a game released in the 90s, the Blacktip shark actually looks pretty good and actually looks like a shark, most of the fish there are fish I had never heard of before playing this game (though the barracuda doesn’t really look like a barracuda) I don’t know if there are certain points in the reef that have names but I know it’s bigger than those nine scenes we are given
Soundtrack: A good chunk of it is rather tropical sounding, it has a nice opening tune when you are at the title screen, though it plays during the gameplay as well, it has a very nice variety (when I share a gameplay here I will show it) however they’re not exactly something I would set to a multi hour loop on YouTube,...

Super Solvers: Spellbound!

Probably the weakest Super Solver title yet
Gameplay and Story: Attention all Super Solvers the Master of Mischief is challenging you to a spelling bee, can you make the finals at the white house? Morty doesn’t seem to have a diabolical plan here unless it was to have to robots get him to the finals by making them look like fools, and making him look good, because in this game we have the robots from Midnight rescue (in their original designs) and Telly from Outnumbered competing, we do not see Morty Maxwell until level 4 (and I think this may have been released before Gizmoes and Gadgets that's why the Chimps aren't included either....if the game got a remaster I'll bet they could have been)
Graphics: You know I really wish they remastered this game, it has the old designs of the robot (not the Super Solvers 9-12 redesign) and the Super Solver is wearing light blue rather than the regular blue outfit
Soundtrack: The game has one primary soundtrack and it’s the only one you hear on a ten second loop when you are at the spellbinder where the activities are, this felt extremely lazy, however the robots and Morty and the Super solver have their own themes when they enter the spelling bee stage, I shouldn’t complain about the voices for the Robots and for the Master of Mischief because I guess this was the first game where the Master of Mischief spoke, he doesn’t sound like a crazy person in this his voice is so deep
Addictive: It was when I was younger and it was kind of slow going because not long after I got the game fifth grade started
Depth: This game doesn’t offer alot it offers four different activities, the crossword activity is the only one that doesn’t change at all, normally I finish this game in about forty minutes, but recently I started playing on hard level and it took me almost an hour
Difficulty: This is the easiest super solver game ever (but then again I was a pretty good speller in my youth, and now spellcheck thinks it knows everyth... Read the rest of this Review

Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa (ver EA)

Adult Mutant Cowboy Cows
Yeah this was a thing enough so that it even got an arcade game that feels like a Sunset Riders hack but that’s not a bad thing, now be aware for this review I haven’t seen an episode of Wild West C.O.W.Boys of Moo Mesa so you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t get something right (and if you think I’m being ridiculous with the title of my review there actually is a connection with the ninja turtles apparently they were supposed to be part of the TMNT verse but they were rejected….as villains)
Gameplay and Story: the game opens with Marshall Moo Montana’s love interest Lily Bovine being abducted by a Masked Bull who works for the corrupt mayor (yeah doing research while typing this) so now they have to go after them, and get past all the other baddies, die and you literally become steaks (and now I’m hungry, not for Steak just hungry) and yet for some reason the mayor doesn’t get taken down here (like I said I haven’t seen the cartoon) you shoot chickens to get power ups from eggs, you get a bull charge too which is a cool feature
Graphics: For some reason I felt like i was playing Sunset Riders game (which of course is another western game) the graphics kind of reminded me of that but this game is quite the opposite of it, but these were pretty good, not quite faithful to the cartoon but pretty close
Soundtrack: You know it’s a darn shame that not alot of the theme song is heard in the background because even in the few bits there are, I could tell this was a theme that went hard, and then I heard the song and yeah that’s pretty hard but did the guy that performed it ask for too much money? I will need to listen to the soundtrack again to get a good idea because if I played this more I would have more to say about it
Addictive: Well I definitely want to play it again but I work better on RetroArch with the games on this site and unfortunately the game is not playable on RetroArch here, I had to use a dif... Read the rest of this Review

The Oregon Trail 5th Edition

Last one we promise!
And so we have come to the final Oregon Trail game that was made by The Learning Company does it go out with a bang of a rifle? Or the whimper of a Dysentery related death, let’s find out
Gameplay and Story So we open, with a Cut Scene, yes they added cut scenes to this game as well as characters we have to take along for the ride, the Montgomery siblings, Parker, Cassie, and Jimmy, but don’t worry they don’t get to suffer from Dysentery (though Jimmy does get bitten by a snake), they meet up with this trail guide that is a friend of their father’s (their mother dies before the events of this game), actually you could easily skip through their cut screens because they add NOTHING to the game, I get that the Cluefinders and Reader Rabbit games were very successful titles but I don’t think the cut scenes were necessary.
Graphics: well here’s where the game will lose some points, this is essentially a remake of Oregon Trail II, why? Did they lose their budget? Did Mattel’s purchase attempt leave a bad taste in people’s mouths? But they added new river crossing scenes, and something new we get pop ups from Jedediah and he lets us know how much stuff we hunted and gathered (don’t bother fishing it’s not possible performance wise at least on my boxes) The cut scenes are well animated though
Soundtrack: They recycled some of the soundtrack from OT2 but only for the locations, as well as the events
Addictive: Well once I started playing it I didn’t want to stop however even though I said I would play it for gaming season I just haven’t figured out when (maybe when I finish with Outnumbered because that’s likely going to be finished first)
Depth: well upside to this game is that no more multiple discs to use just one, and they added fishing and gathering to the statuses but Fishing by hand is kind of useless in this game (at least on my copy) but the good news is they did not take out the fishing eve... Read the rest of this Review
