There it is. This was a big deal at the time because it wasn't just voice acting but a character built around his likeness too. The game was meh
The game was kickass for a kid who loved all kinds of weird action games! I probably shouldn't try it again and ruin my memories of it.
But a top down shooter where you could fire in different directions than you were walking was revolutionary for a kid who had mostly played metal gear solid on his new PlayStation.
Games have been doing that since Robotron: 2084 in 1982.
Not surprised. But I had never seen a game like that by then. And very rarely after too. Most recent one I played was.. Alien Swarm, I think? I loved that one too.
To be fair, they were often arcade games which required two joysticks. I had a game for my Amiga that I don't remember the name of that used the keyboard to do it.
