INTRODUCTION & GAME STATUS


As I was finishing off the previous comparison of Yogi Bear, I realized that HiTEC Software is one rather well-known game publisher from the turn of the 1990's, which I haven't really featured on the blog so far. For good reasons, I might add, because most of their output were sub-par and not even funny in their blandness. So, I took a quick look at their entire catalogue and found that they had one game that was more commonly well thought-of than others, and it was this game, which doesn't even know how to spell itself. The title screen says Interchange, the cover art says Insector Hecti in the Inter Change, and there are some occasions, when it's Inter-Change. I suppose it is whatever you feel like it should be.

INTRODUCTION & GAME STATUS


The May break is over, so it's time to hop back onto the comparison blogging saddle. An easy fall back into blogging is what prompted me to do this cult classic from Piranha, and the fact that there was only one game prior to this one starting with the letter 'Y' in the comparison archive. Also, this has also been in my to-do list for a few years now.
