1994

Revolution X

FROM: Acclaim

BEHIND THE MUSIC: Packing a full-size machine gun in the arcade or SNES/Genesis/PC controller, overthrow the fun-squashing New Order Nation regime and save Aerosmith in a series of shooting gallery engagements.

WHY IT ROCKS: Educational value. Street scholars learn the perils of hyperbole (CDs and laserdiscs double as grenades); poor contractual negotiation (Steven Tyler's contributions mostly include shrieks of "Don't give uuuuupp!"); and filtering social commentary through the marketing department's eyes (enemies are led by the sunglass-/leather bustier-sporting dominatrix Headmistress Helga, natch).
