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) |
