Ashes to Ashes...Dust to dust...A lost 27 year old Atari Jaguar FMV CD game remastered and preserved!
A game where it starts at a Strip Club and your first choice is to get more information about your mission or a strip-tease has the contender to be one of the best 'So Bad It's Good' kind of games and American Hero is up there with the best bad games. The fact this could have been a 90's direct-to-video action movie with all the mega cheese is such a loss to cinema but I am grateful to sit here and play this game from start to finish. I am so glad that the main actor Timothy Bottoms came in a recorded the missing internal dialogue this FMV game had. Make the cheese even more cheesier to say the least. I love the FMV charm this game offers. Choices are hilarious and sometimes I was wondering if when they were making this game it was intentionally comedic or serious.
Overall its a bad game don't get me wrong. This serves as a compelling reminder that the classification of 'bad' is incredibly wide in its spectrum, encompassing surprisingly fun elements that are even interesting to today standards. I would recommend watching a Youtube video if you just wanna see the FMVs or certainly buy it on sale in the digital shop of your choice, I think 14.99 is pretty steep for a game like this but I appreciate Empty Clip Studios and Ziggurat Interactive for officially releasing the game and preserving it the best that they could.
