Plok
Developed by Software Creations
Published by Tradewest/Nintendo
Verdict: YES Pile
Thread: https://t.co/ffk2voxiv6

+ Imaginative concept that works well. Variety of power-ups. Some levels are well done.
- Others are not and are full of GOTCHAs/Blind Jumps. Spongy enemies.

Fans debate who exactly owns Plok. I suspect companies might not know either. But, it's not exactly a global mega hit we're talking about here, so there's really no rush to sort this out. Even if the Pickfords own the character, publishing rights to the game are a different cat.

I'll go ahead and say the quiet part out loud: Plok LOOKS generic, and frankly, looks like it's going to be bad.

It's not. It's actually really fun, very inspired. But the name is VERY boring (Protip: don't name your game after the sound effect of poop splashing in the toilet).

"Why didn't Plok take off?"

Over-Saturation. There's nothing nefarious about it. if anything, Plok had advantages the crowded-field didn't have. Nintendo was super high on Plok and pushed it heavily.

It's like Beyond Good & Evil: sometimes good games just plain don't take off.

A possibly apocryphal story is that when Plok was demonstrated to Nintendo, Miyamoto and others checked under the hardware to see if there was some kind of trick was being pulled on them. They couldn't believe the music of Plok was being done on the unassisted hardware.

Plok's obsession with flags is awesome too.

That's the other thing with mascot platformers of the 90s: in the footsteps of Sonic, so many ME TOO I HAVE ATTITUDE mascots hit. They were EDGY and PROACTIVE and other buzz words stupid people use to describe people even stupider.

Plok was fated to get lost in a sea of similar games. It just was.

Had this come out today, gamers would have gotten to sample games like Bubsy, Aero, and Plok, and the game with the highest potential would have won instead of the one that had the most IN YOUR FACE "attitude."

Frustrating, cheap & beneath the design of the game. It's why I think the Pickfords aren't underrated. I think history has rated them fairly accurately: talented, but not tippy-top.

Plok controls solid, has an interesting premise and a catchy hook.

It doesn't need GOTCHA design

I appreciate the effort for continuity in the world map art. All the gag flags that Plok raised at the end of each stage are individually present on the map above.

That's tremendous! You don't expect that.

Humor is tough to convey in a platformer. Plok's gags actually land.

Anyway, lesson learned to all would-be mediocre, cynical, no-talented game designers: put a ! on your character's shirt.

And to all talented game designers: play Plok, remember that Bubsy outsold it a kagillion to one, then feel free to light yourselves on fire. I'll join you.

For the complete opposite of Plok, see Bubsy.

Of course, Bubsy had a ! and his shirt and Plok didn't, so Bubsy outsold Plok by something a billion to one and today's gen xers clamored for a generic lifeless and borderline broken reboot.

Oh, and it's PICKFORD Bros. Goddamn Cathy
