Game? Yeah...me neither. But there truly was:
This is a game that didn't really reach any sort of popularity, and faded into obscurity rather quickly. It was a PC based CD-ROM Game.
The game was released on October 31, 1996 and was developed by 7th Level, but published by Bomico Entertainment Software.
The game was a typical point and click style game, with some mini-games included. It was based on the Ace Ventura animated series. The humour and dialogue was aimed at a more adult audience even though there was no explicit nudity or pornographic scenes.
If you liked the Ace Venture "Dude, pull my finger" type humour this game was aimed at you. The humor
that kept the game afloat.
From the Game Spot website:
The gameplay you've seen a dozen times before. Once again, Ace is on the case, this time traveling the earth looking for a lost creature. Masters of click-and-solve games will be able to finish the entire game in no time flat. In fact, a lot of it is so simple, you'll figure out that the game is partly designed for young children. The objects and scenes have that bright, bulky Fisher Price quality. And if you ever actually get stuck, a special button on Ace's watch delivers audio clues that take out most of the guesswork. There's even a setting that lets parents edit out some of Ace's choice phrases, although even without the parent setting on, Ace's language barely goes beyond third-grade bathroom humor. The various puzzle-filled scenes are sporadically broken up by arcade-lite action. Slightly challenging tasks like swimming through the murky waters of the deep, avoiding trash and oil slicks, and getting in a basic laser fight are a nice way to mix things up.
Did you ever play this? Would you now?
