Mystic Marathon

Ever had the desire to race troll dolls against eachother through blacklight posterish landscapes, all with the power of 1983-era technology? Well, even if you don't, Mystic Marathon still exists, so deal with it, bitch. In Mystic Marathon, you play as Benkin, a balding, elderly troll, who has to show those young whippersnappers that you've still got it. The game is shown through a slowly left to right scrolling setup, as you have to leap, swim and shortcut through the race course in order to get ahead and break free of the pack. Though the game looks interesting and stands out in a flood of maze games and space shooters, there's a good reason that we never got a revival of the game, such as Super Mystic Marathon, or Mystic Marathon 3D. The game is clunky and slow, with too much time spent falling over, getting hit by apples, and slowly paddling thru the three mile island-flavored water surrounding the islands.
