Evil Midnight Bomber vs. the City
This document is all about my first Megazeux creation, "The Evil Midnight Bomber vs. The City." This is the only MZX game I have ever seen in which you play the villian! Finally, a chance wipe the smug grin off the faces of all those annoying costumed do-gooders who always seem to win...
It’s a big city, filled with costumed do-gooders and evil-doers alike. For several years, the balance of power has shifted to the side of the Superheroes, with the aid of their newest addition, The Tick and his sidekick Arthur. (Oh, and who could forget The Tick’s incredible dog, Speak?) Eugene Sinclair, a homicidal maniac, is about to throw in his lot with the Supervillians, aiming to destroy that balance. Enter -

Humourous setting, reasonably well structured levels and a decent amount to do. A solid game, and one well worth playing.

Hey, it's a "The Tick" fan game! And it's a good one. You play as Eugene, "The Evil Midnight Bomber what bombs at midnight," with the goal to blow up the city.
Midnight Bomber uses MZX's built-in game style for a fun and exciting action/puzzle game. There are very few glitches and no bugs that break the game.
The enemies and bosses are well-programmed, and designed to be killed with a variety of weapons--yeah, sometimes bombs are way more useful than bullets here. Some of the special weapons didn't get used much, but others were very useful.
The puzzles are fun, too, though sometimes they are frustratingly difficult. Often you'll absolutely need to break out a pen and paper. The only thing that's absolutely horrible is a "motion sensor" puzzle later in the game. Even that's surmountable, though. Remember, pen and paper!
A lot of the tiles look like they're from the Zeux series of games but modified. Same with some of the boss attacks. Game looks good, though! The tiles are laid well, the boards have interesting designs, and most things resemble what they're supposed to resemble. Also there's a lot of neat cinemas between areas.
Music is the usual "ripped from various sources", and so are a lot of the sounds. Still, the sounds are both appropriate and awesome and include some neat vocal samples from "The Tick."
Very good game overall. Good storytelling, which a lot of MZXers think is lacking in MZX games. DEFINATELY play this one!
