I am interested in getting either of these games, so any reviews of
either one is appreciated. Because they seem to be so similar, I will probably
get only one (If either is any good). How do they compare?

Is Sewer Shark out yet! I have been looking for it ARGH! Where did you see
it? Does anyone out there in net land have Sewer Shark yet, the pics I have
seen in various rags, of Sewer Shark, look excellent.

It looked _much_ more *excellent* when it was a video tape based
game a few years ago. (Hasbro scrapped the system, but did manage
to make quite a few complete games in the process. It wouldn't
surprise me if Night Trap was also an old Hasbro game. Dana Plato
hadn't appeared in Playboy or gotten arrested then. The
digitization, shrinking, and color loss in the Sega CD version just
ruins it.

Babbage's in Springfield Mall, Springfield, VA claimed to have it, but I did
not go get it due to having read mixed reviews and indecision between it
and cobra command.

As far as I know, every Babbage's in the country has gotten a shipment of
these games. It LOOKS great, but the gameplay is just like Cobra Command;
i.e. watch most of the game, occasionally push some buttons. I'd personally
be iffy on this game, hell, I'd be iffy on ANY of these first-generation CD
games. These things are more linear and less controllable then Dragon's
Lair!

You are 100% correct, I wish you posted earlier, Sewer Shark is probably one
of the worst games ever made for any system, it is just plain bad!
