I’m being informed by The Board that it is too late to get my domain fees back for this website. My request and its subsequent rejection were the result of the realization that I will have to play so much licensed trash. This was an era where most were farmed out to studios that were geared for speed and quantity. Not all of them could be Acclaim!
In what must have been some sort of cosmic joke on the whole of South Korea, Cinepix ended up having 3DO publish the adaptations of their ReBoot-looking-ass cartoon. 3DO promptly went into its death throes, though not before coughing out a second Cubix game and one last Army Men spinoff. I’d like to think the show itself was somehow responsible, like a particularly shitty Ring situation with a much longer turnaround. “You will die in 547 days” just isn’t quite as haunting.
Can you tell I don’t want to talk about this? C: RFE – R’NR’s most notable quality is that horrendous acronym. What do you want me to say about a Micro Machines clone this lousy? I whipped my fat metal bee around corners for a total of about half an hour, and a dozen races later I was informed that I was Number One Super The Best at doing so. The closest thing to an interesting design decision is the game’s item system. If you touch a blue balloon you immediately get a powerup. If you touch a red one the game kicks your robot in the lugnuts. Cool! Good! Cool and good!
Cubix is nothing. This is a nothing game for a nothing property made by a soon-to-be-nothing publisher and flashed onto nothing cartridges that are now so cheap they see use as wall insulation. Every party involved accomplished more interesting things than this. 3DO’s history is so long and storied that I can’t even get into it here, Cinepix got to work on an Appleseed adaptation, and did you know Blitz Games is also at fault for Fuzion Frenzy? I’d say that explains a lot if I knew what the fuck that explained. Maybe they just hated video games and mirth.
