Game Review (written by Reactorworker) Added on: 04/15/2007
I remember quite clearly playing Barney Bear as a kid. Must have been at least 6 or 7 years ago when I last played it. It was not a hit when it came out but it sure was fun. It featured, for a very good reason, fun intuitive game play instigated by a bear.
Graphics- Since this is a DOS game it is only fair to cut it a large, presumptuous amount of slack or inherent lenience. Of course, there’s Barney bear who, in this version of which was the last version, featured a multi tide of pixels which sincerely helped me pick out the fine details of Barney Bear.
He also had friends, rob rabbit, myrtle turtle and Tish the Fish all of whom were rendered in beautiful, if not scenetic, glorious pixels of virtue. And then, adding on to our graphical pallet of beauty, was the terrain featured in the game. There were trees. There were spaceships and satellites and even a launchpad where, also in glorious detail and splendid color, you could watch and touch and feel how a rocket ship or space ship or satellite was fueled and flown.
There were also screens and more that told you lots of information. Barney Bear goes to space has done a wonderful, if not spectacular and excellent job of teaching yesterday's youth, who are now very old and wrinkly, what spaceflight and space travel and adventure was about. The game featured a man who went around, albeit slowly, with Barney and his friends as they looked, or viewed spacecraft and more in hangars and on launch pads. He told them about fuel, about engines, about noses on spacecraft, about wings that keep the shuttle flying, about spacesuits and even about how the astronauts went to the bathroom.
Sound - The sounds and music and such in Barney Bear goes to space were just as spectacular and wonderful as the previous entries in the Barney Bear saga. Each character had memorable voices and characteristics in those voices that made them special.
In conclusion, Barney Bear goes to Space is a memorable and lovable classic with education in mind. Its relatively decent graphics and wonderful interactive properties allow it to reach high on my favorites list. As a teacher myself, I find it useful for my students. I only wish they had such titles made today.
