This isn’t even the first “Snoopy and the Red Baron” game. There was also one for the Atari 2600, with surprisingly good graphics.

Well, commercializing Christmas might be bad, but there’s no reason a red-blooded American can’t enjoy affordable flood coverage and some zingers.

I always got a grand kick out of the “commercialization is bad” message in the Peanuts Christmas speical being broken up by those same characters selling us Dolly Madison snacks and insurance.

One has to wonder whether or not they’re going to license the Royal Guardsmen Snoopy/Red Baron songs for the game….

I just wish they’d give Snoopy a voice-over. I’ve always hated those not-at-all-sounding-like-a-dog noises from the specials. And how can you have a flying ace game without “Here’s the famous WWI flying ace, in his Sopwith Camel!”

Well, it’s not like they’re WWII era Germans. Or maybe that would cross the line twice back into cute?

Personally, I love it.

What was the alternative, though? Adults are never seen in the Peanuts universe, so there are no design models to use. Besides, they’re adorable Germans. That should count for something.

Me being me, I designed level maps for this game when I was nine. I can’t remember what I’d decided the enemy should look like.

I’m not as disturbed by this as I would expect. But I’m just hoping they’ll be some cut scenes with Snoopy sipping root bear in a shadowy French bar. Because otherwise, it’s a waste of gold.

Somewhere, somehow, there’s a Sgt. Schultz from HOGAN’S HEROES joke to be made here, but at my bleary morning state I fail at life and everything.

Indeed. They should be adults, who speak in “bawbawbawww” – but with German accents.

And if memory serves, this isn’t the first time they’ve tried this.

Unless I hallucinated “Snoopy’s Magic Show” for the Game Boy. A non-zero possibility.
