Barbie: Vacation Adventure is a video game that was planned but never released. It was going to be a fun collection of mini-games. In this game, Barbie would travel across the United States. She would go on exciting trips and play different sports and activities.
Exploring Barbie's Vacation Adventures
This game was designed to be played like a side-scroller. This means the screen would move sideways as Barbie explored. It was similar to many platform games where characters jump and move across levels.
Barbie's adventures would take her to several different states:
- In Wyoming, Barbie could go on a fun camping trip. She also had the chance to ride three different kinds of horses. Each horse had many detailed movements.
- In her California home, Barbie would spend time relaxing in her apartment.
- In Iowa, she would visit a local carnival. Her mission there was to help find an escaped pig.
- In Florida, Barbie could go to the beach. She would play exciting games of volleyball and even try scuba diving underwater.
- In Texas, Barbie would enjoy playing with horseshoes.
How the Game Was Made
This game was meant to be part of the Sega Club collection. This collection was created especially for younger female gamers. On most of her trips, Barbie would travel with her best friend, Midge Hadley. If two people played the game, the second player would control Midge.
Paul Tonge was the person who created the music for the Super NES version of the game. Sadly, the game was never released. According to Richard Kay, one of the founders of Software Creations, the company lost about £10,000 because the game was not finished.
