Planet Bob - Playing Quartet (Sega Master System)

[RSS Bot]

Hi there!

 

Here comes another quick one:

 

 

A home conversion of another Sega Arcade. Sega sure saved a lot of money for licensing back in the day

 

I've never seen this one in the Arcade. The home version has 6 rounds, each of which has normally 2 sidescrolling areas ~ 3-4 screens wide. You control a small hero/ine sprite that has nothing to do but kill the end-boss in each stage. It'll drop a key then, which is opening the exit to the next round. Of course there's a couple of nasties in the way, so you're doing some of the usual "if it moves - kill it" routine.

 

You're also supposed to find and collect a yellow star in each round in order to get access to the 6th round. And there's a couple of extras, most helpful is the jetpack.

 

Sounds like a small game? Well, yes it is. I beat it in a few hours already:

 

 

A bit short, nothing stellar, but still a halfway decent game. I won't buy it though

 

Some future day the "Playing..." series may see another shoot'em up platformer in the form of "Trantor", but first it will continue with another RPG up I think.

 

Greetings,

Manuel
