Schneider 7200 - The Philips VideoPac Variant


Look at this monstrosity of a design! Wow! A built in black and white monitor with a flat keyboard and 2 detachable controllers. In fact there is a white version which looked ridiculously awful. Check out this website that has a comprehensive overview of this unique and rare computer/games machine. If only I was born many years earlier I would have bought one of these and played this to the death!

River City Ransom - River City Rubbish!

Everything from the graphics to the sounds, to the story lines, to the potential martial art power up and special items bought in shops was absolutely lifeless, bland and mind-numbingly dull.

The free roaming feature was just a feature I dreaded in this game as I kept wondering if I was going to do any backtracking.

It felt like work trying to play this game and what ever compels someone to complete this game is beyond me. Maybe it's because I have become so used to current games where beat em ups felt like I was beating something up. This game has been overrated and underrated. To me, I don't know what the fuss is.
