If you're not familiar with Orb-3D, good, keep it that way.
If you actually want to know what Orb-3D is, it's a puzzle pong-like game for the NES (technically a port of a similar C64 game) where you have to lead a ball across a fake-3D space and solve various puzzles, ranging from bowling, tic-tac-toe, bingo, a memory game, chess, a weird eyeball puzzle, a spelling game, and even an actual MAZE. Your ultimate goal is to defeat the evil space wizard, Krohn, and stop him from destroying the universe. You have little-to-no control over your ball, and the only thing you can do outside of hit the ball with your paddles is go into the screen and hope you hit something (i.e. how you solve puzzles). While you're doing this, you also have to keep an eye on your fuel, and if you're running low you can go to Vern's Orb-O-Rama and fuel up, but the catch is you have seven openings to jump through (with small entrances that close up if you take too long), AND you have to pay with your score to do so (admittedly a neat idea, marred by everything else about this game), on top of your paddles *shrinking* every time you go to Vern's. This all would be frustrating, but tolerable, but it's made even worse when you consider that, while this game has roughly 5-6 songs (hence the 'medley') you only get to hear one or two for most of the game, meaning if you decide to commit to it you'll get stuck with an ear-worm (and not even that good of one).
If it sounds like the game is hot garbage, good news: it is *exactly* as bad as it sounds.
Suffice to say, from all I've seen and heard of this game I'm staying far away from it. That being said, I like some aspects of the music, and wanted to try making something good out of it, not because I think this trash fire is completely redeemable but because I wanted to challenge myself.
Happy April Fools Day!
