Toobin

Full-price release, at least one compilation, and now on a budget tag are just some of the ways in which you could own a copy of Tengen's curious game of inner-tube river riding. Toobin. But would you actually want to? Well, no, not if you're me anyway.

Toobin was a very strange arcade game when it came out, and this is a very close-looking copy of it, but it's got a control system that knocks any ideas of playability right out of the window. The joystick seems to work in an 'upside-down' manner, your player occasionally refuses to respond to commands for quite lengthy periods for no obvious reason, and you don't have any feeling of being able to do much to avoid the obstacles in your way.

It really has outlived its shelf date by quite some time. Don't be taken for a rocky ride - give it a miss.

The Bottom Line

In today's ever-more-competitive budget market, you can do a lot better than this for your £8. Spend your money on something like IK+ instead.
