Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior
Alternate Names: "Barbarian: Der Mächtigste Krieger"
Title Screen
Palace Software 1987
Genre: Action
Rating: 2/6
Language: English

To get the story over with: Evil wizard has captured the princess, oily muscleman carrying a huge sword tries to free her by first confronting the sorcerer's soldiers and then the evil master himself.

Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing
Title Screen
Sportsware Productions 1985
Genre: Sport, Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
There are some things I've always enjoyed. Staying up until late in the evening on my C64 (or proudly-owned P IV more recently :lol:), reading, writing (as you can see here). Oh yeah, and watching box matches. I never practiced box professionaly, although I did have some recalcitrating classmates who realized that you *can* learn something if you watch the TV. Boxing is just one example, if you know what I mean :lol:

Salad Days

The first entry in this here reproduced log can be backtraced to 1997. Like so often, die psychosis of the testee is caused by events in his childhood. In this case, it's the strong nostalgic memories about the dominating products of long dead producers of leisure electronics.

Batman Returns
Title Screen
Konami 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 2.5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
A common day in Gotham City: Batman puts on his chicle coat, and with his Batmobile he drives to the place of action. Through the slits of his ridiculous mask, he sees the unjustness. Good citizens are being hindered to do their Christmas shopping. A gang of clowns prevents a fluent and free enterprise and causes a setting that reminds of an oriental bazaar.

Battle Isle 2
Title Screen
Blue Byte 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: Deutsch, English
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
After two mission disks and the differently themed History Line: 1914-1918, Blue Byte followed their more successful game to date up with a real sequel. The evil robot armies are back and the Drullians saw no other way than to kidnap a great strategist to lead their armies - you. Stories have never been a strong point in strategy games (that made it even more surprising that a 'novelization' of the story actually came with the game).

Battlezone
Title Screen
Atari 1983
Genre: Action
Rating: 3/6
Language: -
Licence: Commercial
System: Atari 2600
In the not-so-distant future (1999 to be exact), the nations of the world have at last recognized the need for peace to avoid mutual destruction and ensure the survival of the human race. The plan to achieve world piece is strongly reminiscient of the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still: Automated weapons are unleashed, supposedly to exterminate anyone becoming an aggressor. Of course, technology goes awry, and the weapons are starting to exterminate all life on earth. The player jumps into a rusty old tank trying to blow up all the other thanks, fighters and flying saucers which now threaten humanity.

Beach Volley
Title Screen
Ocean 1989
Genre: Sport, Action
Rating: 3.5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Yay, it's summer! Dig out your bathing shorts / suit, jump in the car and head for the beach. And hope you are one of these good-looking sport-types to avoid being laughed about. Or alternatively, hope there are even fatter people than you to keep the attention away from the result of your beer sessions. Hiring some people with visible mutations could also help...

Bermuda Syndrome
Title Screen
Century Interactive / BMG 1996
Genre: Action, Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English, Français, Deutsch
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
Vinyl record sleeves and game boxes have something in common, in the sense that a particularly good design can prompt you to buy the record/game without trying it first. That's how I ended up with The Virgin Prunes' If I die, I die, which is absolutely god-awful. And Bermuda Syndrome, which is great fun.

Bi-Fi Roll: Snackzone
Title Screen
Art Department 1993
Genre: Adventure, Action
Rating: 3/6
Language: Deutsch
Licence: Freeware
System: Amiga
The 'production secret' of 'Bi-Fi Roll' (greasy 'meatbar' imported from BSE-infected countries, hidden in a bread container), a single sheet of paper, has disappeared. Instead of taking the usual route of calling the lawyers to sue everybody in sight, Bifi can depend on volunteers who scout their cities for free, because they're aware that without constant supply of their drug, they won't survive for long.

Biker Mice From Mars
Title Screen
Konami 1994
Genre: Action
Rating: 3.5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: SNES
Concerning its concept, "Biker Mice From Mars" straightfowardly had the successful classic "Rock'n'Roll Racing" in mind. Unlike the original, you drive motor cycles and other unorthodox vehicles around more or less well-built tracks here. Although the game produced by Konami labels itself as being "powered by Snickers", you permanently suppose that the programmers wanted to make fun of this ridiculous piece of chocolate-peanut-mush.
