That boss they showed off looked like it was the size of a battleship or something.

Too bad Ro-Man from Robot Monster never appeared in Manos.

Official site.

The entire game is a Lampshade of Everything Is Trying to Kill You:

"MANOS is an homage to all of the cheesy games you remember from your childhood! Remember how every film and cartoon had it’s own platform game adaptation? How concepts in the film were made completely nonsensical for the case of gameplay? When every man, woman, child, animal and inanimate object were out to kill Marty Mc Fly, Freddie Krueger filled the streets with bats, ghosts and frankenstein monsters and Darth Vader would casually transform into a scorpion? MANOS will take you back to the fantastically absurd movie adaptations of the past!"

Well I had ideas for a Prince of Space sequel/parody that has characters from other MST 3 K movies so I don't see the issue of having Ro-Man as a boss.

That 8-bit Haunting Torgo mix.....

Interesting how the worst/silliest film ever now has three good "licensed games" based off it.

Well, you see... The Problem with Licensed Games works on an inverse scale relative to the quality of the movie and an inverse exponential scale based on how long the movie has been out. Thus a not as good movie will produce a not as bad game and an adaptation of a movie from decades ago will be a generally good game.

So, what happens when you take a very bad movie and make it into a video game? It'd naturally become a very good video game. tongue
