Game-a-day #57...Accolade Comics.
"Accolade Comics", I like this game a lot, it's funny, has great artwork, and game play is cool and always interesting. It all takes place in the world of wisecracking secret agent Steve Keene, and his world is a comic book. The creators took great pains to make this game feel like an actual comic book and make it playable at the same time. Mini-games that are all action break up the choose your own adventure style play that dominates the experience. Accolade made some of the most advanced games that I owned in the 80's and this one did not disappoint. The only thing that was a tiny bit annoying about "Accolade Comics", was the very long load times between sequences. I mean, it was the 80's and computer technology wasn't fast, so couple that with a game that was a little too advanced for the technology it was running on (Commodore 64) and you get a few long waits. Now, as a kid I had quite a tolerance for computer wait times because that was what we had in that era. However, today I find myself getting a little squirmy if I have to wait for anything longer than a millisecond. How times have changed.
