First Look: GT Interactive's 40 Winks-October 2024
Oct 22, 2024 4:46 PM

  GT Interactive today announced a new game from developer Eurocom (maker of the home ports of Mortal Kombat 4 and the upcoming Duke Nukem: Zero Hour) for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy. Entitled 40 Winks, it is a 3D adventure game along the same general 3D adventure-game lines as Super Mario 64.

  The game's premise places you as one of two mischievous twin children, Ruff and Tumble, whose goal is to eliminate nightmares for all time by stealing back 40 "winks" from the nefarious NiteKap and Thread-Bear. Since the game is set in dreams, you can use outfits within the surrealistic environments to transform yourself into different creatures with different abilities. For example: Dressing up as a monster will make you faster and stronger; robots can move heavy objects and shoot missiles; ninjas have mind-control powers and weapon attacks, and so on.

  The game's seven levels will be made up of an underwater Atlantis stage, a castle, a haunted house, an oversized toy stage, a pirate ship, a planet in deep space, and a prehistoric adventure, each with its own sub-level game (dragon racing in the castle and so on). Those worlds will be inhabited by a host of enemies, such as zombies, Dracula, Frankenstein, Tyrannosaurs, baby dinos, giant wasps, Triceratops, spiders, dragons, henchmen, ghosts, giant moon mice, pirates, parrots, crabs, Jack in the Boxes, mutant toys, skeletons, knights, aliens, robots, fish, sharks, octopus tentacles, and RC Cars.

  Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of the game, though, is that it promises to have a two-player cooperative mode, where Ruff and Tumble can run amok at the same time. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out, once we get a hands-on of it.

  The following shots are from the PlayStation version.
