Game Review: Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 (1995)

Genre: Shoot 'em up
Year: 1995
Rated: K-A
Platform: SEGA 32X
View Cover Art
My Opinion: Can't finish,
too hard
I haven't played this game in years. After replaying it recently I remembered why I stopped in the first place. Its a great game, fantastic graphics, catchy music... Its just impossible to win!

No, I mean litterally impossible.

I haven't made it passed Level 2, and I doubt I ever will.

Your goal is simply to make it to the end of each level, by means of hijacking spaceships and avoiding and blasting obsticles.

Has anyone made it past Level 2 of Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000? Comment about it!

Wishful Thinking: Oswald Rabbit in Kingdom Hearts

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is one misfortunate character. He was Disney's very first animated character. But due to a studio dispute, Disney replaced him with Mickey Mouse, who was a slightly altered version of Oswald. Poor Oswald was left in the shadows while Mickey basked in the glow of fame.

But now Oswald gets his first starring role in years, in the Wii game 'Epic Mickey'. In this he comes back as Mickey's half brother, trapped in the Cartoon Wasteland of Yen Sid's magic book.

I'm hoping this will give the creators of Kingdom Hearts an idea to add Oswald to a future Kingdom Hearts game. Here's my idea for a good scenario:

Maleficent arrives in the world of the Cartoon Wasteland, where she meets Oswald, the bitter half-brother of King Mickey. Feeding off of Oswald's bitterness, she grants him the ability to control the Heartless and create an army to march against King Mickey and take his kingdom. Once they meet, they can have an epic brother vs brother battle.

Do you think Oswald should be in Kingdom Hearts? Comment about it?
