It’s Saturday night, I just recently finished reading “Arkham Asylum: Living Hell” and i’m ready to post a new review. Let’s hit it!
This Sweet 16 is brought to you by Tiger Road , released in 1990.
What a treat this is to play. Did I say treat? I meant bitch.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun and you get to play as Krillin’s stunt double. What’s not to like?
I’m not even going to pretend to know what this game is about. All I know is there is martial arts, weaponry and cool music. Here’s a little clip…

As you can see, it’s a pretty standard side scroller. However, the MOMENT you think you have things under control something pops outta left field and you’re either damaged or sent plummeting down a gap in the ground. That’s a big part of Tiger Road, knowing that at any moment you could be dead. Once you’ve got that embedded in your thought box you’re one step closer to completion.
Here’s the second step: PLAYING TIGER ROAD UNTIL YOU KNOW EVERY SINGLE NOOK AND CRANNY THAT IS INCLUDED IN IT’S ADVENTUROUS PATH.
One of the many games that requires constant gameplay and constant vigilance.
To be honest, I’d love to put more pictures up on this maw fucka. But there is a lack of screenshots for some reason… possibly being because it isn’t a well known title and the ones who do know about it try to erase the anger and vexation of it’s recollection. I imagine it would cause an instant ulcer with a side of colon cancer.
I highly recommend this game but ONLY if you’re willing to bust your ass to know it like the back of… your ass…
OH! almost forgot!
Between every level, there is a bonus level meant to increase your vitality. The first being easy like a soccer mom on the 4th of July. If you can hold down a button for roughly 22 seconds, you’re gold!
I’m not gonna lie to you, I have yet to finish this game. It seems like every time I try to get through it stupid mistakes are made that usually end with me falling down a pit. This will remain a title that I try to beat throughout the rest of my life because I fear my dreams will be haunted otherwise.
Main points:
- Keep your eyes PEELED. If you have a dependancy on blinking you might want to make better use of your time by taking a nap.
- Expect retarded shit to happen at any moment.
- Bosses require a lot of hits to be taken down, but deal a castrating amount of damage.
- The music is fun, so crank and enjoy!
- If you’re expecting an easy completion, you might be better off getting married… because wives are easier to beat than Tiger Road.
and on THAT joke about spousal abuse, I say farewell!
