American Hero

[Còbra!]

I stumbled across this game that people here might be interested in.

American Hero was a game originally developed for the Atari Jaguar CD, and was supposed to give FMV games a new breath of life, and play like a choose-your-own-adventure book, rather than try to mimic a more fast paced game. The Jaguar CD was discontinued before the game could be finished, but it was restored and remastered in 2021, and released on GOG as well as consoles.

I personally love this game! I'm a huge fan of cheesy 90s FMV, and gaming history, so this was right up my alley! There are loads of different paths and different things to discover. Only issue is the cutscenes are unskippable...

If you've ever played Bandersnatch, it's a lot like that, but more primitive. I think if the game came out when it was supposed it, it would perhaps seen as a stepping stone towards that kind of game. Though would most definitely be forgotten because who on earth owned a Jaguar CD?

It's obviously not going to be for everyone, but if you enjoy cheesy FMV games, you'll love this!

Anyway, here's the trailer:

I just started watching the Rerez video on that game. I should finish it though, it was the middle of school hours when I watched it
