Name: Barbie series (2 titles)
Barbie - Super Model
Barbie - Vacation Adventure
Author/Vendor: Hi-Tech Expressions
Released: various
Type: Multigame
Language: English
Premise: Join in the fun with Barbie and her friends as they embark on various adventures. Inspired by the popular girl's fashion doll made and marketed by the Mattel toy company.
Impressions: Perhaps the closest thing you will find in the English G/MD library to a shojo-style game. They're every little girl's dream, and every serious gamer's nightmare. Ann Chovy insisted on playing them over and over until I had to throw the main breaker and cut off the power. Kids may love 'em, and that's all fine and good - but I don't.
Variations: Barbie - Super Model (1993, coded by Tahoe Software, Barbie embarks on the road to super model stardom - ridiculous plot, easy puzzles, crappy graphics, and the sound just plain stinks)
Barbie - Vacation Adventure (1994, coded by Software Creations - Barbie takes a vacation and visits various places in the U.S. in the process - a big improvement over its predecessor with improved graphics, but experienced gamers will find it a boring breeze; also sports a two-player option in some minigames)
