Ground Zero Texas - Nuclear Edition

In the first 10 minutes of playing I got a glitched cutscene and my mouse cursor vanishing, which makes it impossible to to press retry or quit or do anything. Apparently this never got fixed and its a shame because I don't think this game has ever looked as good.

This was not a good game to begin with when it came put in nineteen ninety mumble-de-mumble so I certainly can't recommend this buggy port. It does run in Steam OS if you download a recent GE version of Proton, but it's super glitchy. Achievements fire for no reason, videos glitch, and there's missing sound effects (in particular the impact sound of your laser fire is not present whenever you hit a bad guy). The missing sound effect issue is also present in the PS4 version. If you are super familiar with the original Sega CD version, this is still a good way to stroll down memory lane and see new details in the superior FMV, but otherwise I can't imagine anyone having much fun with it in this day and age.

So it is an on-rail FMV shooter. Very B-movie vibe that I like, but the damn thing closes if you hit ESC. Which is problematic when you're looking for the pause menu, and you're forced to start the game again because no save function. Only try this game if you are a masochist who wants to play this in one session!

Loved this game back in the day, I still own it on Mega CD! It was hard as nails and frustrating to play because of the constant switching between video feeds. There is a specific way to play it and with not much in the way of wriggle room to view things your own way. There are different video feeds you would not normally see through different play throughs, for example if you don't save the girl in one scene she get's taken down to the alien chambers. When viewing the video of rescuing her - you get to see a scene with some workers, one of them being Danny Trejo!! "we don't need no sticking badges!" XD Anyways, I saw this had been released on steam and wanted to experience the game again, and view the clips as you play through the game they get saved in a bonus gallery. Unfortunately the game wouldn't start for me, black screen with music playing, had to escape back to desktop a few times to get into the game. Eventually got into the game, the video sequences seemed to pop up a lot faster than the original - making you have to switch camera feeds a lot and you miss other camera feeds. The game then crashed. That was enough for me, asked for a refund. A shame since I was looki…

This game in its current state is unplayable. The hit boxes are inaccurate and on one screen you can not hit a common enemy no matter how hard you try. due to that alone it will stop you from progressing to the next level. I had this game on Sega back in the day and loved it and they did a nice job clearing up with sharpness of the screen but again the game is not playable the way it was intended to be played. I would not buy until the devs get that fixed.

Had this game on Sega CD along with all the other FMV games: night trap, sewer shark, etc, Never beat ANY of them. Here lately all of them have been on sale for a couple bucks so i picked them up, not expecting much except nostalgia. For those who never played the original, don't expect much. I don't expect anyone other than the OG players liking this. But those who did play the original, I as pleasantly surprised with this remakes video and sound quality, they were really good. Some modern conveniences coupled with modern day controllers made this much easier than the original. I ended up beating it in an hour or so. Definitely worth the 4 bucks
