Basically just a Space Invaders type game but I loved it, hit the spot until I was able to get the real Space Invaders on Gameboy.

This is brilliant. Looks like something Rod and Todd Flanders would get for Christmas.

Bioforge is janky in all the right ways, the movement and subsequent unintended deaths are hilarious.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows of this game lol, always seemed like it was a little obscure but could be wrong.

Lmao I had no idea something like this existed.

“Captain Novolin is a 2D side-scroller. The plot of Captain Novolin has the titular hero setting out to save Pineville's diabetic Mayor Gooden from aliens and their leader Blubberman, as the mayor only has enough insulin for 48 hours.”

lucky enough to play this one, pretty unusual game. the toothpaste running out made it that much harder.

this was an interesting one growing up. incomprehensible dice game, wet t-shirt game, pick-up type game, air hockey, and some other slidey catchy one.

Holy shit now this is a flashback.

The first time I had to specially order anything. I can't remember where I heard of it, maybe it was in an edition of Disney Adventures or something. Could never find it to hire and could never find it on a shelf. I remember trying to convince my mum it was what I really wanted and she thought it sounded disgusting lol.

Speaking of ripoff games there was one on the Commodore Amiga where it closely resembled Bomberman. Only it had a more "adult" tone.
