Super Hunchback on Super NES - Advertisement Review

Oh great, so THIS is how we're starting off the 18th episode of Commercial Break? Introducing Super Hunchback, the Game Boy game that features you as a hunchback hero. Hunchback, eh? Hopefully this was followed up by Colorblind 64, Ultra Pigeon Toe, Extreme Paralysis, and of course, Dyslexia DS. What type of person green lights a game about a helpful Hunchback? And if this got big would we have to deal with a hero with only one hand or Super Cancer Boy? We play video games to experience new things and have fun, not be reminded that life sucks.

See the princess up there in the top right side of the advertisement? Right now she looks happy; she's excited that somebody is coming to save her. But boy will she be disappointed when the Hunchback shows up; one has to wonder if she'll even accept him as her savior. But then again, she's no prize. If she wasn't able to see Hunchy from that distance then maybe she should have her eyes checked. Or is that the gimmick, that everybody here has some kind of physical situation to deal with? And what's with her Farrah Fawcett hair? This is 1991 not 1976, how long have they kept you locked up girl?

But the real losers are the those guards who are about to get their butts kicked from a guy that stands all of 3 feet. We're talking about a guy with an awful haircut, silly clothes, and a rope doubling as a belt. Of course, this picture shows that the Hunchback is one built guy, just take a look at those guns! He's not going to take any guff; they may have swords but he's packing some Arnold Schwarzenegger muscles. But even with those guns, that damsel in distress is going to be mighty disappointed with shorty shows up.
