Short on story, big on action. That pretty much sums up the Beast Busters experience. An arcade-based First Person Shooter (or railgun), what little of Beast Busters plot that exists revolves around three gung-ho commandos: Johnny Justice, Paul Patriot and Sammy Stately who enter some unidentified city to rescue a female CIA agent. Looking back, its a little embarrassing to consider that even in 1989 women were labeled the "fair maiden" archetype.
The creativity behind the monster designs is pretty interesting, most notably in marketing materials such as this arcade flyer (see insert). Though it lacks any sense of horror or suspense, how could you not love gun-toting zombies, mad scientists, exploding piranha, ninja Jason-impersonators, or even a zombie werewolf? Now... let's go blow sh*t up.
Man, I wish we lived closer bro. FOR REAL. I wanna have an all nighter video game blast-o-rama! Susie and I broke down and decided to put up the Christmas tree last night HA HA! We figured it would help alleviate some of the stresses we've been confronting lately. Anyways, miss ya buddy. Hope all is well!
