Oh crap, THIS game. Menace Beach on NES. Now, this game is unlicensed by Nintendo. It was made by a company called Color Dreams, which made weird games on NES without Nintendo's permission. Some games made b them are Secret Scout, Raid 2020, and this game. Now, they wanted to start making Bible Games, so they changed thier name to Wisdom Tree. Yeah, a Christian game company making illegal games. Menace Beach was actually recycled into Sunday Funday, which I'll talk about later. Let's see how crappy this is.
--- This time, the cover's deceving. --- So, the game starts out with a completley different kid than on the cover. And don't say it's because of the 3-color limit, I count five colors on this. You're some kid on a skateboard trying to rescue his girlfriend, Bunny, from Demon Dan. So, the game starts out with Bunny saying "Sorry, but we can't go to the... beer shop because I'm all tied up. Hurry and rescue me or you'll see my bad side." Uhh... BEER SHOP? I'm not kidding. The controls are delayed beyond belief. It takes a whole second for... I'll call him Edward, to jump. Yeah, I don't think he has a name in Menace Beach. You can't pause. I jammed the Start button, and my controller's not broken, you CAN'T pause. It's like Ghostbusters II. You can't pause at anytime. So, there are beer bottles dropping out of a window. You need to throw it at the ninja coming up, because your hit range is horrendous. You need to shoot the bottle at him. Now, make sure you got everything, because you can't jump back over the staird. Your jump is too pathetic too jump over it. I didn't mention that once a ninja appears, you can't pass until you defeat them. So, you need to find these bottles, because your punch is as good as the cane in Dr. Jeykll & Mr. Hyde.
--- How long has Bunny been missing? --- She's been missing for so long, her "clothes are starting to rot". So, in between each world, you get a rude message from her, and her clothes gradually start to fall off... Beer? De-heading? NEAR CLOTH-LESSNESS? What kind of game is this? Now, with all of this, you have to wonder how Sunday Funday happened. Sunday Funday was the second-to-last game on the NES, the newest being released in 2010. Sunday Funday has 3 games. Menace Beach, Fish Fall, and 4 Him: The Ride. Fish Fall is like something on Action 52. You're just a hand catching fish falling from the sky and throw them into a basket. 4 Him: The Ride is... karaoke. Yeah. But, the new version of Menace Beach changed a few things. So, instead of rescuing Bunny and going to the beer shop, you have to get to Sunday School. Oh my gosh. So, the ninjas are now bullies, the points are now birds, Elvis is changed to a plumber, fat guys are now lunch assistants, and the beer is changed to...a Bible. We throw Bibles at bullies. What, is does the bully read the Bible, turn from his ways, and gain access to Heaven by becoming a bird and FLYING there? Never mind. Wait... he's throwing BIBLES out the window? Why is this town so full of atheists? The song at the end of a level is still a Super Mario Bros rip-off. --- Elvis is bad, but blowing up faces isn't? --- Yeah, if you BLOW somebody up (in a CHRISTIAN game) thier face blows off, which is certainly worse than having Elvis dancing in a sewer. Your attack is changed too, now you always do your jump attack. Enough about Sunday Funday, this is a Menace Beach review. In Level 2, you're in the sewers. You keep jumping around on springs, turning the lights off, getting bown up, and drowning in water. Level 3 is a lot like Level 1, except with the new lunch assistant, you need to blow her up. In Level 4, the sewer issues really get worse. The springs sometimes don't bounce you, you have an owl throwing bombs, a plant catching Bibles, and plumbers that you can hardly fight. The tall guys (the lunch assistant) need to be blown up, but they either walk past, the bomb takes forever to explode, or he follows you. In Level 3, there's a huge pit that you have to fly over with a balloon. if you go behind tbe stairs, like I said earlier, you can't jump back over, so you're trapped. In the sewers, the flippy-things and the springs get you all screwed up. In Level 4, you can get trapped, because the spring keeps bouncing you, the flipper keeps pushing you into the spring, which bounces you into the pipe trap. Another trap is when you have a "pattern" to these springs. It goes up, dow, up, down, up, down, DOWN. You think something is happening that you can understand, but it's basically impossible to get past this, so I give up here. This game is actually really hard, and it makes no sense how this turned into a Catholic game. I guess I'll see you in my next review. Oh crap, THIS game. Menace Beach on NES.
