Fun 'N' Games by Tradewest - Cover Review

Is it just me or does it seem redundant to have the word "fun" in the title of your video game? Aren't all video games supposed to be fun? When I see a company toss a word like "fun" onto their product it makes me worry that they are over-compensating for the fact that it's not all that much fun. And don't even get me started on what I think of when people have to add the word "games" to their title, it just doesn't give me a lot of confidence that I'm going to have a good time when playing this product. Fun 'N' Games manages to offer both the word "fun" and "games", and that can only mean one thing: this game is about as fun as being framed for a triple homicide!

But you don't need to see the name to know that Fun 'N' Games isn't any fun at all. All you need to do look at this cover, which comes directly from the Pee Wee's Playhouse bong. What kind of person would be excited to get a game with this cover, I am personally more freaked out by this then I was watching the Exorcist. Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of strange to have a mascot who is nothing more than a paint can? And he's the best of the bunch! I'll take him over that arcade cabinet, dresser or snake. Wait ... what's the snake doing there? And is that a peace sign I see? And why does the blue character look like he just stepped out of Bob Marley's van?? Perhaps it doesn't matter, because Good Housekeeping Magazine gave this "game" their recommendation ... and when it comes to video games there is no better authority than Good Housekeeping!
