Binary Fortress Software

Last night I powered on my Wii for the first time in a few weeks and received a pleasant surprise in the form of a Christmas present from my friend Chris. He sent me a Wii Virtual Console game, and informed me that the title of the game was an inspired choice. As someone who lives in Visual Studio night and day I can see why a game about “debugging” was an excellent choice. However, Silent Debuggers doesn’t live up to it’s name, as there isn’t any actual debugging… actually, there isn’t even any code. This game came out in 1991 and was designed to run on a TurboGrafx-16, but oh man, these graphics are bad. When I first fired up the game and was told to pick 2 weapons I thought it was going to be a top-down shooter, but alas, it ended up being a pseudo-3D shoot-em-up, along the lines of the 3D scenes in the original Contra game. I played it for a short while before ending up completely and utterly lost in the never-ending series of similar looking corridors. However, it’s the thought that counts and for this I thank you, Chris. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for a Virtual Console game that says “Chris” to me… I wonder what it will be.
