SNES-A-Day: American Gladiators

Be still my heart fart!

American Gladiators

Time played: 6 minutes

Events won: 0

More like, events understood: 0! This game makes no sense. On several occasions I found myself in the "goal" zone after dodging bullets to get there, but the clock still counting down. They wouldn't let me leave the game! I'm no American Gladiators expert - I know enough to think references to the colorful "cast" of gladiators is funny, but I don't know most of the actual events besides the padded-q-tip duel.

Fortunately the game let me zip right along through the contests, and fortunately the computer was dumb enough that often both of us lost the event.

I won't lie, I played this several days ago still in a haze of sickness so I can't remember most of what happened. But I took lots of pictures.

None of me are champions!

Boobs vs legs! Both muscley!

About Paul

Paul has been playing games since he cut his teeth on an old Atari 2600 in the early 1990s. He has played every console generation since, and currently jams on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and DSi. He proudly does not own a Wii, and goes back and forth on whether he'd want a gaming PC (he did his fair share of Mac gaming back in the day though). Games-wise, Paul came up in the world a pretty big JRPG nerd, but now he's mellowed plays mostly anything good or weird. He does maintain a pretty impressive collection Playstation 1-era RPGs.
