The Nerd in “Unfinished Business”

The Nerd

LJN even made a game based on the '95 swashbuckling adventure, Cutthroat Island, which, according to the Guinness World Records, as of 2012, was the biggest box-office failure of all time. Oh, and then add the LJN logo, it's the perfect storm. So the first level is... okay. It's just a dumb beat 'em up game with cartoonish graphics. The animation is good. There's a variety of sword swipes and rolls you can perform. It's not bad, really... until you get to the next level. Now you're in a wooden cart ramming into enemies. You just mow them all down. Seems simple enough, but if you hit a rock or a tree, you die instantly. There's no death animation, it just fades to black and restarts the stage, so if you blink, you might not even notice what happened. Like when I hit this guy, I had no idea how I lost, but it turns out, you need to avoid him! But how the hell was I supposed to know that? You run over everyone else; why not him?!
