![]() The loosely made plan was to stop at an Intermarche supermarket en route and stock up - but as I was quite a way ahead of Dave, and I saw a Casino supermarket that was more en route but about 1km further on - I headed for that. They call the region Alpes Maritimes for a reason - and by our mid-morning Maccy Dees stop we were both weary and bad tempered.įinally, the old town of Grasse came into view at lunchtime, but due to another dodgy bit of map and Garmin reading we ended up climbing to the very peak of Grasse - both out of food and water. We hit the road knowing there were some hard climbs - but God in heaven, I wasn't ready for these. So, with the fridge quiet - and spare pillow stuffed in the door to blackout the light, I finally nodded off to be immediately woken by my alarm.īreakfast on the hotel terrace was nice, but it was hot already at 7-30am - today was going to be tricky. I could stop the noise by opening its door, but then the room lit up like a grotto. I made several attempts to unplug it, only to find that it was wired direct into the wall. There.I woke from an awful night's sleep due to the fridge in the room sounding like a Boeing 747 idling. Buy this game! Cheap on eBay! I'm getting paid to write this. Where's the fun in that? Two double cheeseburgers and a large strawberry milkshake, that's the meal for me! And so on and so on, not really sure where I'm going with this. Last time I got one of them, it was a little plastic box that played a Sugababes song. The games get better as they go along, unlike the Happy Meals of today. So there we have it, another victory for McDonald's. You can play this mini-game of sorts from the options menu, in case shooting slime monsters isn't your bag. The rubbish drops faster and faster and faster, until eventually you're juggling several pieces at a time. It's your task to put them in the right bins, and if they stay on the ground for too long, it's classed as littering and you get a £50 fine or something. This follows a recycling theme: you're presented with three bins – one for plastic, one for glass, and one for cans – and various bits of rubbish drop from the sky. It's a shame that the other three areas aren't as interesting, but to make up for them, in a way, is the amazingly superb bonus round. Slime monsters all over the place who go "splet" when they get shot with Mick's custard-filled Super Soaker, what an amazing first set of levels Slime World is. The music by Tommy Tallarico is fantastic, another early indication of what's to come from the man who composed Cool Spot, Earthworm Jim and MDK's themes. Maybe? Too much procrastination in this review, sorry. The point is, Dave Perry did this game, and judging from the animation and the humour, this could be considered a "warm-up" for Aladdin. Or maybe a slight one, depends how you look at it. Always have, and hopefully I always will. Is that right? I mean the first "default" protagonist, as in the one who you play as if you just press Start, without going to the character select. In addition to the environmental theme, I do believe that Mick was the first Black protagonist in a video game. The entire game follows an environmental theme, with our heroes battling through toxic slime, polluted cities, melting ice caps, and a forest at the mercy of lumberjacks. Global Gladiators stars Mick & Mack, the two kids from MC Kids, and Ronald McDonald, playing a pseudo-Captain Planet role. First there was MC Kids on the NES, which I think's been reviewed by someone, and lastly there was Treasure Land Adventure, reviewed by Dwitefry recently. The second part of the unofficial McDonald's trilogy of fantastic games.
