For anyone who has had one of those days where
anvils just fall out of the sky and hit them on the
head, this game should seem incredibly normal.
For everyone else, this game is chocked full of the
wackiness and hilarity that made Loony Hines pop
ular in the 1950s and 60s. All the characters from the
popular animation shorts from the golden era of
Loony Times are present.
The 3-D adventure mimics the art style of the
Loony Times world to near perfection, and in a
three-dimensional environment. Every character is
wild, creative, well animated and very funny.
The music draws from the orchestral style used
in the early cartoons and the crazy sound effects
are fitting, as well.
This is an excellent and hilarious game. It is like
playing an actual cartoon with amazingly artistic
graphics and fun gameplay. The only downside to
this game is it can easily be beaten in 10 hours.
Anyone who is a remote fan of Loony Hines
should check this game out. (Grade: A-)

Quarterback Club '99
System: Nintendo 64
Genre: Sports
Developer: Acclaim
Nintendo 64 is still hard at work when it comes
to competing with Playstation for creating sports
games. Quarterback Club '99 is surely a step in the
right direction, but it lacks much of the personality
found in equivalent Playstation games.
Quarterback Club '99 brings back memories of
Tecmo Super Bowl from the original Nintendo which
only a few old timer-gamers will even remember.
The only real changes are the addition of a few more
plays, defenses and a 3-D graphics engine.
The players do not have great moves, not even
touchdown celebration dances. T he game is also
child-friendly, so that by simply choosing More than 4«
