I admit, I was playing much of this game with a funny look on my face. You can also collect little things along the way for more points – Stars, stickers and you’re even awarded bonus points based on the number of enemies you defeat, and how you defeat them. You start with a basic punch and the ability to inflate yourself, but can collect other powerups throughout to give you other weapons at your arsenal. You yourself are a multi-faceted blue blob with different special abilities. Each mission starts on a timer and you have to beat enemies or find stopwatches to extend your time. The object of the game is for you to rescue fellow kidnapped putties from various enemies throughout each level. Then you load the game up, and you’re sucked into a game that I can only describe as a blast from the past. Loud title screens and music straight out of an episode of Rocko’s Modern Life. When you load the game up, you’re greeted with a title screen and music that I can only describe as pure early 90s gaming. The timing of this game was a bit bizarre, considering it came out on the same day that Titanfall did, but the price point does make it a bit desirable, considering you end up with a 50+ level game for half the price of a retail title. Release Date: March 11th 2014 (March 31st for Playstation 3 and PS Vita)Ĭonsoles: Playstation 4 ( Coming soon for PS3 and Playstation Vita) Playstation 3 and Vita gamers finally have their day too. It took a couple months, but Putty Squad is now available for the PS4 in North America, fully cleaned up and remastered. You see, Amiga gamers that have remained loyal to the system were vocal enough for rights holders System 3 to release the game, and they did so as a Christmas gift to that community last year following the PAL region release for the PS4 as a launch title. Things went silent at that point and yet again, those still interested in the title would have to wait.įinally, community support kicked up again in 2013. However, they started to move away from publishing after releasing it in the PAL regions for Super Nintendo and the game sat on the shelf otherwise until 2010 when it was supposed to be released for the Playstation 3, and eventually the Playstation Vita. Putty Squad was a game that Ocean Entertainment announced in 1993 and had originally projected for Worldwide release in 1994 for multiple consoles and the PC. One game surpasses the life cycle of both those games, however. Then there’s the other side of things with Duke Nukem Forever, a game that stayed in a “Will he won’t he?” status for nearly 20 years before it did release, and should probably have stayed in the “won’t he” pile. That was a game that was supposed to star Chelsea Clinton’s cat running amok in the White House and never published due to studio closure. I specifically remember nonstop advertising for “Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill” in 19. The best thing about going through some of these old magazines is the graveyard worth of forgotten companies and abandoned titles you come across. Then, it seemed that just as soon as all of these companies sprouted up, they started to fall. It seemed like everybody with a printer had a gaming magazine, and everybody that didn’t had their own gaming studio.
