Players control Ultra-InterGalactic-Cybot G Marina Liteyears who, along with her creator, the mildly-perverted self-proclaimed robotics expert, Professor Theo, has come to the Planet Clancer because of reasons. ![]() This caused no small amount of confusion the first time I fired the game up back in the day, thinking that my controller or the game was broken in some way. The game actually uses the D-pad for movement exclusively, completely foregoing the use of the control stick in any way. Developed by Treasure, and published by Enix before the Final Fantasy-spewing machine known as Square Enix (#NotBitter) came to be, Mischief Makers is a 2D platformer with pre-rendered environments more along the lines of the classic SNES titles that came before it. ![]() In an age when gamers were up to their eyeballs in exciting new 3D games, Mischief Makers sought to keep things simple. However, what kind of critic would I be if I couldn’t take off the nostalgia glasses, and give this game the same treatment that I give all games I review? So, with that in mind, let’s jump in with my very professional, very not gushy review of this N64 gem. Marina is one of my all-time favorite video game heroines, as evidenced by the fact that, even today, I tend to name every female character I play after her. I think the gameplay, characters, story and music are just fantastic. It’s one of my favorite titles from the Nintendo 64 era. Mischief Makers is a game near and dear to my heart. ![]() I’m going to go ahead and start with a disclaimer right off the bat.
