Aaargh!

Aaargh?

Sometimes, I don't want to play a life-sucking adventure or learn the ins and outs of some RPG. Sometimes, I just wanna smash up stuff and then feast on many annoying human beings. Well, today I loaded Aaargh, by Melbourne House. It's basically Rampage, and we can be a giant ogre or a fire-breathing dragon.

Destroy buildings, kill attacking critters, eat stupid humans and then collect an egg trophy. Watch out for the angry yocals and dangerous critters, so conserve energy by eating what you find - like tasty humans!! Once you have the egg, it's time for a battle with a beastie opponent before plundering the next village.

The controls are a little clumsy because our beastie must be facing in the right direction to pick up items and perform attack moves. Sadly, we can be knocked to the ground too easily, which is frustrating when waiting for him to get up (and that gives other nasties more than enough time to creep up on you once again).

It's not Rampage, but it's still fun for an hour or two. And who doesn't enjoy burning homes to the ground before eating the angry villagers? Aaargh! might be utter rubbish, but I actually enjoyed it. And I enjoyed it a bunch!! Of course, I'm mad, but it's great fun being mad so play this ridiculous game now. You'll love it.

Download the floppies from Atari Legend, and the hard drive game from 8BitChip.

I found this screen pretty awkward to walk around.

This is a great level and nothing is better than killing the native peasants!!

Oh no, this looks scary. Love that face in the rock!
