While it’s alreadybeen written aboutin the community blogs,ROM CHECK FAILis just too damn cool to ignore on the front page. The more of you that play thisfree indie game, the better.
The game itself is presented much like the zanyWarioWareseries, with the controls and rules ofROM CHECK FAILmimicking the 8-bit game that your character originally belonged to. For example, when you play as Pac-Man, you may’t destroy the enemies until you get a power pellet.
Every five seconds, the stage and all of the characters are randomly swapped for something new. This means that you could be controlling Mario, but instead of having to stomp on a group of Goombas to progress to the next level, you could be facing the baddies fromQix.
Additionally, you could end up in a scenario where you’re the utterly useless ship fromSpace Invaderstrying to not get raped by the ghosts fromGauntlet, or pretty much any enemy for that matter.
But don’t take my word for it,go give it a shot.
