2 Minute Noodles Part 14 - Kid Chameleon

Definitely not everybody's darling, but certainly one of the most challenging and daring platformers I have ever come across. Where other people got frustrated by the seemingly endless stages, harsh time limit, and missing battery or password system, I absolutely adored music, difficulty, and the many different playable characters. No other game could create this amazing mishmash feeling of glee, disbelief, and powerlessness that you get after fighting your way through the Lion's Den level for 8 minutes only to realize that there's no level-ending flag waiting for you but instead just another warpzone into an even harder level. Only the bosses are disappointing. The wall-of-doom levels, on the other hand, are awesome!

2 Minute Noodles Part 13 - King of Monsters 2

The monsters are back and again they bash each others heads in. Slimy, gory tentacle things, hairy, fangy beasts and a guy in a super hero costume fight to the death in mini-scenarios. If you had the hots for the arcade-version you have to have the Genesis port. The two-player-mode is even better!

2 Minute Noodles Part 12 - Columns for Adults

Ah well, the good old Columns is now available as the bad new Columns for grown ups. The R-rating is completely reasonable because you can see as much as one whole pink colored nipple in the background. Although that does not really divert your attention, you still lose due to the horribly swampy controls.

2 Minute Noodles Part 11 - Valis III

An anime game for a change. The cutscenes and the introduction are nicely done for the Sega Genesis and are a pleasure for the gamers eye. The fact that one is able to change characters throughout the game makes the gameplay more fun, so do the manifold enemies and the nice music. All in all it's worth playing.
