Caltron 6 in 1 - Games

Games

The six games included on Caltron 6–in–1 are:

  • Cosmos Cop is a pseudo-3D into-the-screen shoot 'em up that is similar to Sega's Space Harrier. However, the game experiences a lot of image–breakup on the screen due to the NES's limited capability of handling first–person scaling.
  • Magic Carpet 1001 is a horizontal scrolling shooter that was later released on pirate cartridges as Aladdin III and with some graphical and sound modifications as Super Harry Potter. The game has been criticized for its steep difficulty curve. It is the only game on the cartridge that is not an obvious clone of another popular title.
  • Balloon Monster is a clone of Mitchell's Pang and the North American equivalent Buster Bros.
  • Adam and Eve is a single-screen platform game similar to Nintendo's Balloon Fight (itself based on Williams' Joust) in which the player has to kill snakes by bursting the balloons attached to their heads. This game also received criticism in that the game — despite its title — had very little relevance to the biblical story of Adam and Eve.
  • Porter is a puzzle game similar to Thinking Rabbit's Sokoban and Boxxle where the player has to move boxes into specifically–marked places. This game is criticized for its awkward controls; boxes can only be moved while holding down the A button, and if the B button is accidentally pressed, the level automatically restarts without any warning to the player.
  • Bookyman is a direct clone of Williams' Make Trax and Kural's arcade game Crush Roller. This game has been considered an inferior clone of their arcade counterparts.

Famous quotes containing the word games:

    “In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
    —Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    “Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)
