Step-On-It!

  • 1996

'Obscure' doesn't quite seem to cut it when it comes to this game. I highly doubt there's anyone who has actually heard about this game as the developer usually made applications for Mac OS rather than video games. In fact, the developer of this game actually made the music program that Apple based iTunes on. The game 'Step On It!' was cloned from however, should be more familiar; 'Solomon's Key' on the Nintendo Entertainment System. A fact unknown to me until over a decade later.

The game however is, besides simply being a lot of fun, a very important game for me. Aside from being one of the first games I played on a home computer, it was also the one that introduced me to the puzzle genre. It was the first game that made me think, and it was highly addicting. I play it still to this day, even if every once in a while, on the same old computer I did back then.

Like it's example 'Solomon's Key', the objective in 'Step On it!' is to make and break blocks to form stairs and bridges to overcome obstacles or to protect themselves and buy time against enemies by blockading their paths and finally reach the exit door. There's coins and other items to collect for points, weapons for defeating enemies and the key to unlock the exit. A simple concept, but after a while the game will get ridiculously difficult. It managed to be a memorable experience long before that however.

#46 Fast RMX



#46:Your call sign in this game is kind of demeaning. As if you are just a rookie, but this is already the second game!

Hint 2: Though it’s on-rails, it’s also not as if your character is unskilled, since the game features third person shooting stages, a first person shooting stage and both third and first person flying stages in a couple of very famous types of spacecraft. No swordfighting though.

Yo I got this one right PAGES ago! I demand a refund!

Edit: also, he was probably technically correct with Fast Racing Neo, because I think I'll regard it and RMX as the same game. Oopsy.

I assumed he didn't see or realise so I didn't want to ignore it... Luckily for me I didn't take anyones money lol.

And true that makes sense, like other enhanced ports such as Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be the same. Fast Racing Neo and Fast RMX just have a slightly bigger title change.



Hint for #46 - a sequel to one of the most beloved games, this game explored parallel dimensons, and had a final boss that required a certain 'element sequence' to get the true ending.

#47 - The Sims: Bustin' Out

I never hear anything about this one, but the series it forms with its sequel (The Urbz, released on GBA/DS) is one of my favourite pairs of games ever. A Sim-RPG, Bustin' Out adopts the gameplay from the PC Sims game and makes it much more handheld friendly, introducing a mission system and a story to complete. The characters in the game are interesting and well-written, and the atmosphere of the game is fantastic. The soundtrack is wonderful as well.
