****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: This game came bundled with my Game Gear, but I never
really liked it that much. It's not bad, but the games are only mini games.
I am reviewing it, even though it's a multi cart, but they aren't commercial
games.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: In the 4in1 Game Pack, there are 4 games (duh!) which
are Columns, Rally, Penalty Shoot Outs and Tennis. The games will keep you
busy for about 10 minutes, then you realise you have better things to do
with your Game Gear, or life. Columns is a cut down version of the single
release version, where you link blobs to get rid of them, not very fun.
Tennis has you hitting balls at a rival, who hits them back. The rule of
Tennis do apply, and the ball bounces. The best of the games. Rally sees a
car driving through half 3D terrain, to get to check points in time. It's
not very inspired. Then, you have penalty's where you select a way to kick
a ball and hope the goalkeeper won't block it. Then you take a turn at
blocking, which is neither easy or fun. It's slightly better then having
Tetris with your Gameboy, but that's not hard to beat.

Liked: Four games, in one!
Hated: You can get twenty one proper games, in one illegal cartridge.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics are nice and colourful, with some nice
options screens. The people look like they should, as does everything else.
The only graphic touches worth noting are the 3Dish rally stages and the
title screen art. Nothing new here.

Liked: Rally.
Hated: Same old graphics.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Again, the music is nothing spectacular with the
same options screen music everywhere and cheery, march music for the games.
The sounds are pretty good, fit the games they are put in. Once again, there
is nothing great, but it's not bad.

Liked: Rally music is really suited.
Hated: No music in Tennis.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Each game has it's own controls which work very
well, they are very responsive. Tennis works very well, as do the rest. The
game design is nice, but you have to turn off the Game Gear to get to another
game. Another standard fare.

Liked: Good game select menu.
Hated: Have to turn off to select a new game.

****************************************************************************

Improve:
Better games.

RIYL: Mini Games

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I can't recall seeing this available without a Game Gear, but I
wouldn't get it anyway. Just get one decent game and you'll be happy longer.
