Been hammering away on the Saturn this morning and came across a game I have never played before, but remember the review in an old issue of the now defunct 'Ultimate Future Games'. The game was the laughable terrible 'Battle Monsters'.
The premise is quite good, classic monsters from movies, legend etc. get together to beat the crap out of each other.
Sadly the end result is a mess of 20-largers-and-a-kebab vomit proportions. With only 2 recognisable Monsters in the form of Frankenstein's monster and Medusa it's a hilarious shambler of a title.
My favourite bit is when a caveman in one of the background is giving it the 'James Brown Knees' with a couple of fish in his grubby mitts, better than any Beadle moment that.
But the interesting thing is, I couldn't put the game down until I'd finished it. Every fight I had to see something more chuckle inducing than the last as the digisted characters amble and clunk about the screen. It was so bad it was pure genius!
Anyone else have a classic retro game that they play that is utter turd but cannot put down??
