Item Description

Captain Blasto is the kind of hero who would rather admire his own chin than check his flank, and that swagger is the whole point. Sony Interactive Studios America's PlayStation action game casts him as a square-jawed space hero with far more ego than sense, sent to stop the alien overlord Bosc, who has conquered Uranus, kidnapped the Space Babes and set his sights on Earth. It plays like an affectionate send-up of pulpy retro sci-fi, all ray guns, bravado and wildly misplaced confidence.

The voice is what makes it unforgettable. Phil Hartman, the Saturday Night Live and NewsRadio star who gave The Simpsons Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz, plays Blasto with pitch-perfect pompous bluster, firing off one-liners as the captain blunders heroically through each stage. Released in 1998, the year of Hartman's death, it is among his final performances, and his delivery is a big reason Blasto has kept a cult following.

Underneath the comedy is a third-person shooter with plenty of platforming. Blasto runs, jumps and blasts his way through colorful 3D alien worlds, taking on Bosc's oddball forces on the way to rescuing the Space Babes. The controls and camera show the growing pains of early 3D design, and a few jumps will test your patience, but the stages are packed with personality and the jokes keep coming.

On a console crowded with brooding heroes and gritty shooters, Blasto stood out for its sense of humor, and that is still its best selling point. It is a treat for players who love the personality-driven corners of the PlayStation library, and a fun piece of history for Hartman fans who want to hear him at his comic best.
