Okay, so I like to talk about video games and toys and movies that inspired my writing. Today I’m talking about TRUXTON for the Sega Genesis. I bought this game and was just blown away. I had never seen the arcade version (its very close) but I was always a fan of shoot-em-ups (shmups) but I had never seen one with such richness of color and graphics and variety of weird alien enemies and environments. Every crazy creature or vehicle seems to behave differently and the landscapes seemed to tell a tale of alien strangeness. I was constantly imagining who these aliens might be and what motivated them to attack whoever the hell I was supposed to be. The spareness of desired detail made my imagination bloom!
