    First off, congratulations to the developers/publishers as you have made a game. That's a feat in itself. It has some witty one-liners and throwbacks to the late 80's early 90's. It has characters that run, jump and shoot.

    Other than that, it's poetic that I'm writing this review while sitting on a toilet. This game is BAD. Not just in the sense that it is extremely repetitive game    First off, congratulations to the developers/publishers as you have made a game. That's a feat in itself.

    Other than that, it's poetic that I'm writing this review while sitting on a toilet. This game is BAD. Not just in the sense that it is extremely repetitive game play, not just in the sense that the one-liners repeat themselves multiple times per level (and get tiresome pretty quick), not just in the sense that the "pixel-world puzzles" slowly drain the character's health, but mainly because it is broken. In my play-through of the game, I was able to reach level 7 (after questioning the life choices that led me to playing Rad Rodgers). Once reaching a certain enemy that you must kill in order to progress (an enemy that is only vulnerable after throwing a boomerang), the enemy got stuck in the map and therefore was not vulnerable.

    Do yourself a favor, don't buy this. I can only recommend this to people who want to have a reason to drink heavily.    … Expand

    I have no doubt that the developers of Rad Rodgers meant their work to be a loving tribute to 16-bit platformers, and as long as the game restricts itself to fast action, it’s a perfectly fine experience. The puzzles and item hunting just don’t work, though, and those designs shouldn’t have made it through testing. Rad Rogers never rises to the level of the games it’s aping, which renders it inessential, because what’s the point of an homage that’s not even as good as its inspiration?

    Rad Rodgers is too self aware, and falls short on many levels.

    3D Realms might not want to remake one of its old Duke Nukem masterpieces, but that doesn’t seem to stop them from publishing Interceptor Entertainment’s Rad Rodgers, a humble homage to the long lost era of DOS arcade platformers.
