Operation Logic Bomb (Super Nintendo)

Operation Logic Bomb, subtitled “The Ultimate Search and Destroy” was released by Jaleco for the Super Nintendo in 1993. This game is a top down shooter, somewhat similar to games like Smash T.V. I sometimes forget that this really is one of my favorite genres. While it isn’t nearly as intense as Smash T.V. (maybe Gauntlet is a better comparison), I kind of enjoy a game that’s slightly slower paced as it adds to the sense of exploration and suspense. Don’t get me wrong, I love Smash T.V. too but these games really do have a different feel if you don’t have to constantly hold down the fire button.

In Operation Logic Bomb, you play the role of a cybernetic super soldier sent to investigate what happened at a secret lab experimenting in inter-dimensional physics. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone then that various and assorted nasty things came through a rift a killed everybody. Now it’s your job to clean up the mess. To aid you in your quest, you start with two weapons (primary and secondary) and are able to pick up various others throughout the game. Certain weapons are needed in certain circumstances.

Operation Logic Bomb was released only on the Super Nintendo. It’s actually the second sequel to Fortified Zone on the Game Boy. There was a second Game Boy game in the series but it was only released in Japan. While Operation Logic Bomb gets fairly average reviews, it is an enjoyable game if you like the genre. The graphics are quite nice and the game play is solid enough. Grab an original cartridge on eBay or check it out via emulation if you are looking for a “new” 16-bit game to play.
