Forgettable, But I'm A Sucker For Games Based on Other Media

Look: 8/10 Great background, functional sprites, and surprisingly good Snoopy graphic. Impressive for its time. It was hell trying to get this screenshot ha enter image description here

Sound: 7/10 While I like the plane/motor sounds, the music is mediocre. Overall, decent sounds for the era tho.

Sound: 7/10 While I like the plane/motor sounds, the music is mediocre. Overall, decent sounds for the era tho.

Play: 6/10 The collision masks are sloppy and the overall gameplay is disappointing. I had some fun shooting down the Red Baron, as clunky and silly as the collision masks of both the Red Baron and Snoopy were, but collecting the treats didn't mix as well as it should have. I was able to get the Red Barons down a couple times, but it got old pretty quickly. The manual is essentially unnecessary with this one, tho I doublechecked it to ensure I wasn't missing something.

Feel: 7/10 I immediately was reminded of a minigame in a Humongous Entertainment game, not sure which one. Very similar gameplay to this. Super cool concept and good look, but the gameplay is too mediocre to love the game. I swear I had played this before... But not really good enough to push through and get to know the game better or try to remember how I had seen this before.

Attachment: 6/10 I wont forget it, but it also wasn't all that remarkable or, frankly, good.

Playtime: 10mins
