Man, this game has everything. Horrid graphics, crappy sound, easy controls, and is fairly addictive. I have been playing Blast Chamber for roughly 14 days on my journey in Melbourne, Florida. This game should be renamed to Torcher Chamber with all the playing I've done.
The game is fairly simple. Try not to die... the map rotates every once in a while, so it's not wise to put yourself in a position that you may fall from when it turns. So, the main object is survival, but it is slighty less complicated than the Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater version of survival.
This game came out waaaaaay back in 96, and did it stnad the test of time? NO! Just ask around, to see who's played it. I doubt you will find any, but it's worth a shot. If you are bored and have no other game to play besides Mary Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16, play Blast Chamber. Also, it is slightly better than the newest Tomb Raider, so keep that in mind, it'll save you lots-o-money, considering you could probably find this game for less than five dollars.
