Spike McFang

Spike McFang is just stupid. But stupid in a good way. It was one of those SNES games that really only stood out for being completely strange on every level. Essentially what you get is your typical top-down action RPG that Zelda and Secret of Mana had made famous for years. In that regard, Spike McFang is nothing too special. Sure it’s fun, but it’s not until you get into the actual storyline and characters that you realize that you’re dealing with something that may be worth more than a ten second glance at your local video store.

Being a ten year-old with a newly acquired NES was probably one of the highlights of my life (fuck you, it was). I was on cloud nine with my new NES, and the two games I was able to purchase for it. And while those two games served me well (yes, even you, Top Gun), it eventually got to the point where I was bored with them. But being a ten year-old, I usually had just enough money on me to buy a bag of Big League Chew, and that was on a good day. Simply put, the idea of buying a fifty dollar game was on the same level as me having the money to purchase an aircraft carrier. It just wasn’t gonna happen. Occasionally though, my step-mom’s mother would find a used NES game somewhere, and buy it for me. And while she may have been responsible for some of the worst games I ever played (Ghostbusters damn near killed me), she would get it right every now and again. And this one time, she hit gold.
