The Honeymooners description

Essentially it is a collection of arcade mini-games based on the American Comedy TV series of 1950-ies. General plot: the main character of the series, Ralph Kramden want to relax in Miami, but that still need to earn enough money, plus locations in your local hotels are not so many, and among those who want to go there not only he...

The game can play up to four people on one computer, but you can certainly play alone against computer opponents, each of which also will seek to get in Miami. On the main game screen shows an extensive railroad with several cars (each of which "belongs" to a particular player). For winning each mini-game are given a certain amount of points, and depending on the number of trailer moves closer to the target at that distance. The winner is the player whose trailer made it to Miami before.

Mini-games only four. The first control bus with view from top (apparently the driver works for our hero). The game screen is a map of the area with markings of the streets and passengers. Passengers need to take on Board and be as quick as possible to take to the streets to which they should be reached. For each correctly imported passenger points are given for each delivered not to lose. To control precisely the movement of the bus can not be only to change the direction of its movement and adjust the speed. Any collision of a bus with something (for example, with oncoming traffic), or return to the Park immediately stop the game. The graphics in this mode are quite beautiful, though, as it does in the entire game, only CGA.

The second game is perhaps the most interesting in all respects. The action takes place in the sewers where necessary to eliminate leaks. Sewage itself is a veritable maze of tunnels, and one tunnel – a lot of other passages in its walls. At this level there is no card (that is way back have to find yourself) and have a time limit. But its graphical presentation is just gorgeous – full 3D and third person view with the ability to direct the character (drawn very large and legible) in all four directions!

The third game is a time-limited puzzle collection mosaic-pictures from disparate fragments (narrative justification: as a salesman in a Department store hero must help the shopper accidentally dropped such a mosaic).

Finally, the fourth game bonus, which is very good. Because it represents a kind of "game show", with beautiful detailed graphics (especially in humans), but without much sense, because you need to answer a related series of questions and win money for correct answers (and sometimes for some reason, even the correct answer does not count). But, fortunately, to play this game do not have, and any of the three previously described can generally choose from the start menu before the game, and play separately.

About the graphics it was already partly mentioned above – Yes, there is only CGA, but still drawing accurate and externally, the game looks very nice. In addition to the mini-games, there are a lot of various animated inserts (probably related to the original series, and therefore often very funny), adds atmospheres happening. In General, is a multifaceted and very interesting game that will appeal to fans of arcade games such a plan.
