Howard The Duck (C64), what a pile of sh*te!
Well It's Friday which means It's a brand new episode of "Shit Game Time"
 This week I will be playing and shit-rating Howard The Duck on the C64 and for £9.99 back in 1986, this is such a disgrace  This is a paid request by youtuber "Connor Jones", I hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your thoughts on this game,...if you can call it that.

movie was shite too btw. I saw it at 1987 new year's eve with a lot of friends, but it still sucked
Doesn't beat "Bad Cat" vid, but made me smile. I prefer you do the playing. I couldn't stand playing this game for more than 2 minutes. Last edited by jotd; 25 June 2021 at 22:23. |

Those were the times that people thought if you inject enough cash and special effects in a movie will come out definitely good - spoilers: did not

Howard the Duck might have been a turd, but I can't help but think that it's existence has taught others to do the concept of a puppet among people better. I'm thinking of Alf for example. Fix one: don't make it look so uncanny valley.

... no? There is no puppet in a family environment in Jedi. A lot of people in suits, or robot cases. That it does have.
You are probably thinking of the Ewoks (little people in suits), but they were mostly good for merchandising. Let me put it differently: you can't tell me that you ever said "Let me pop in Jedi to watch those cute Ewoks!"

But I will say I popped in Jedi for the AWESOME Battle of Endor, with the three threaded subplots. I meant to say that ROTJ had excessive puppetry in the first act with Jabba, especially Jabba himself who was the biggest puppet in Star Wars of the time, operated by almost a dozen people. But as for Howard the Duck, I've never seen that movie, just clips, so I don't get an overall impression of how good (or bad) the puppetry was. |
