The New Zealand story

[SeaWolf]

Man, I never knew the name of this game but now I have it! I used to play it in my local Super1 market, but the top was busted out and you couldn't read.

It was called Kiwi Kraze on NES, for some reason. Even worse was that they tried to make it look realistic on the box art.

 

One thing I remembered about the game was how ridiculously cute it was, and how axes stuck in your head.....and how your bird burned to a crisp if you got hit with a fireball. What a weird game

[wacko_jacko]

Yes i remember that game. Very wierd game, and if i remember correctly, it was quite difficult at the time (considering i was like 5 when i first played it). Don't think i ever finished the game.

is this what you meant by realistic box art ?

The first time I ever played that game was on a SMS emulator called KGen. It was an excellent emulator, all the SMS games I have played perfectly and at full speed on my (at the time) 300mhz pc. New Zealand story was tricky, I think I only got a few levels done.

haha, no that's the good artwork.

 

Here's the, um, more realistic artwork that was on my game:

I don't know why they hired an artist to make a good game look extremely undesirable, but that's what they did so hey. (it makes me sad to think that this may have made the game less popular than it deserved to be)

Back in early 90's, when I first played in on an Amiga 500.
