Okay, so Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is one of those weird NES games that makes you go, "Wait, this was a real thing?" Based on the cult B-movie, it's a side-scroller where you play as a dude with a slingshot fighting off—you guessed it—killer tomatoes. The controls are simple (Z to shoot, arrows to move), but the tomatoes come at you in waves, bouncing around like they’ve got a personal vendetta.
At first, it feels kinda goofy and easy, but then the tomatoes start coming faster, some even dive-bombing from the sky. The music’s this weird upbeat track that doesn’t match the chaos at all, which just adds to the charm. Honestly, it’s not a deep game, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about popping tomatoes mid-air before they splatter on you.
Fair warning: The hit detection can be a little janky, and after a while, it gets repetitive. But if you’re into retro oddities or just want to see what 80s movie tie-ins were like, it’s a fun little time-waster. Just don’t expect a masterpiece.
