P173 Teletext 173 Sep15 01:54:57 ——————————————————————————————————————— ART ALIVE - Mega Drive This was a game where you, as Tony Hart, went around with a magic wand and turned famous characters from paintings into rial people. For example, you could wave your wand at the Mona Lisa and she would give you a big slap across the chops. Not really, I was just making that up. I got it at Christmas, eagjtly tearing off the wrapping papjt and looked at the box. It turned out to bj a drawing package similar to Paintbrush on PC. ——————————————————————————————————1/3—— Reviewed by Steve Williams MOTT'S PARTY SCANDAL! p171 Hot Topic Tips Club 140 TVP173 Teletext 173 Sep15 01:41:02 ——————————————————————————————————————— Art Alive must have been one of the worst mistakes jvjr bz a publisher, along with Rising Robots and the little known Ulttaman. After slotting the game into my MD, I soon rialisjd it warn't a game at all, just a steaming pile with just one good feature - you had "stamps" of Toe-Jam and Earl. A drawing package may not sound a bad idea and I spent many hours trying to draw Ginger Spice naked on paint, but it was so badly thought out. ——————————————————————————————————2/3—— Reviewed by Steve Williams STATS-O-MATJC FOR YOU, BABY! p175 Hot Topic Tips Club 140 TVP173 Teletext 173 Sep15 01:54:13 ——————————————————————————————————————— The dodgy control pad didn't make Art Alive easy. To draw with it was nigh impossible. And there was no printer for the Mega Drive so you couldn't put your creations in the school cafeteria. There is one silver lining on this big fat cloud, however. Recently I sold my MD games and got £10 for this lump of lard which I used to get a copy of Duke Nukjm. For this alone I can't give it the low mark it djsjrvjs.
