Evil Garden

Overview

Evil Garden is a Shooter game, variant of Centipede, developed by Thunderbyte and published by Demonware, which was released in Europe in 1989.

In a piece of dodgy German translation, the front of Evil Garden's manual has 'Beware of Demonware' written across the bottom. They could not be more right if they tried. I knew this was going to be painful when, after taking a good two minutes of loading, the game asked me to enter a word from a non existent page. I did not realise at the time that it was trying to be kind.

Booting it up a second time turned out to be a grevious error. Evil Garden is a garish, low quality Centipede rip off. Everything takes hours to load. The sprites are tiny. The sound effects poor and the gameplay weak to indifferent. There is a kind of mellow tedium that sets in after ten or fifteen minutes effortlessly blasting through screens of centipedes, but you would be in need of the most fearsome kind of aversion therapy if you parted with twenty quid for this load of old guff. Evil Garden is weedy.
