Interesting

In this gameplay video, the female character (Melanie) seems to have a superpower making her spin on herself with arms joined. Very similar to the power of Maria in BB (although Melanie seems to move upwards during her power).

(mass effect image not visible). But agreed - that is VERY similar artwork. But one can call that "generic space look" as you can find it in plenty of movies also. Blue/purple color, white lights, organic shape.

It's the glowing blue orb in the middle of the spaceship that caught my attention. Quite distinctive.

TCD · 09 April 2013, 23:26

The thing on the Mass Effect ship reminds me more of Contact with Jodie Foster:

I'm quite sure the 3 axis blue sphere thing is stolen from somewhere else too though...

The film Event Horizon had a spinny thing in the engine room of the spaceship.

Shadow of the Beast (Amiga) and Paradise Lost (Amiga) - look at cracks to the right

Predseda · 17 May 2013, 14:24

It is obvious copy. The whole last level looks like Beast.

TCD · 17 May 2013, 14:51

I didn't notice that the graphics are actually 'borrowed' from SOTB

I think some enemies are also *very* close to SOTB...

s2325 · 17 May 2013, 15:03

I think hero is mix of Wrath of the Demon + Dark Ages.

s2325 · 18 May 2013, 12:47

"Ouch" sound is from Full Contact.
