Game Club 199X #18 - Home Improvement (SNES)

[Deleted]

The fact of the matter is, though, that all three choices were dummy choices. They're clues to the true game of the month.

-All three are licensed titles.

-TekWar stars Greg Evigan, star of My Two Dads...which ran on the same network (NBC) as Knight Rider.

-Home Improvement and TekWar were both 90's tv shows. TekWar was about combatting drug use; Tim Allen did time for drug posession.

-William Shatner is fat, like the state of Minnesota.

Wally Bear and the No Gang?

[TonicBH]

I'll go for Knight Rider. Because I want a driving game where I shoot things and such.

So it's still tied? I know it's past the deadline by 28 minutes, but I might as well cast my vote in the favor of...

...Home Improvement.

If nothing else, the YouTube videos looked interesting enough, and if worst comes to worst, it'll be another ragefest worth talking about like King's Quest V.

I vote for Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend.

That settles it then, this month's game is Home Improvement!

Edit:
Nice try, Rasa, but NamelessFragger already broke the tie after the deadline!

Indeed. Rasa only posts once a year. Way to waste it!

Pro Tip:

Real Men don't need instructions.

[Snarboo]

Here's some starting tips for the thread:

• You start the game without a weapon, but quickly find one in the first level. Weapons can be upgraded multiple times by picking up the same weapon you have equipped.
• There are no passwords, and you are limited to 4 continues per game. When you continue, you start the entire world over again.
• Real men don't need instructions™.

Edit:
Dammit Apachacha!

[TheChosen]

Whose great idea was to make a game out of Home Improvement anyway? I want to know how that meeting went and how they came up with that license.

[Deleted]

I don't think so, Tim.

woo home improvement won

And in honor of such an occasion...



Coincidentally enough the very first JonTron review I saw.

I don't know if anybody noticed, but the nuts and bolts you pick up also appear to power up your weapon if you have enough of them. I'll post more after I do some investigating.

EDIT: Found another handy tip, if you stand still for long enough, the game will tell you the general direction of the closest crate. If you're lost and have plenty of time to kill, it seems like this may be the best way to get your bearings.

I love how Tim Allen has an innate ability to sense where supply crates are in a level if you let him flex his muscles.
