Factory Panic
PERESTROIKA, PLAYED DOWN
» RETROREVIVAL
» GAME GEAR » 1991 » JAPAN SYSTEM HOUSE There are many reasons that I count myself as fortunate to be working on Retro Gamer, but one of the big ones is that everybody is pushing in the same direction. Many years ago, in a different job, I often felt like the only person in the building trying to do anything useful – a feeling that comes rushing back when I play Factory Panic. Outside the factory, a queue of needy people await, wanting all of life’s necessities – bread, medicine, Game Gears. Inside, you play as a boy rushing around and single-handedly directing those goods to customers via systems of conveyor belts, while being harassed by guards.
