Barbie: Vacation Adventure is an exciting video game that was planned but never officially released. It was designed to take Barbie on fun and educational trips all across the United States. Imagine exploring different states and learning new things with Barbie! This game combines elements of both adventure and sports games, making it a unique experience.
Exploring the Gameplay
In Barbie: Vacation Adventure, you would play the game using a side-scroller view. This means you would see Barbie moving across the screen from one side to the other, much like in many classic platformer games.
The game was designed to let Barbie visit several different states, each with its own special activities:
- In Wyoming, Barbie would go on an exciting camping trip. She could even ride different kinds of horses, each with cool animations!
- Back in her California home, Barbie would relax in her apartment.
- In Iowa, she would visit a local carnival to help find an escaped pig. What an adventure!
- When in Florida, Barbie would head to the beach. There, she could play fun games like volleyball and even go scuba diving underwater.
- Finally, in Texas, Barbie would try her hand at playing with horseshoes.
Behind the Scenes: Development
This game was meant to be part of the Sega Club collection. This collection focused on games made especially for younger players, particularly girls.
Barbie wouldn't be alone on her trips! Her best friend, Midge Hadley, would join her on most adventures. If two players wanted to play together, the second player would control Midge.
The music for the Super NES version of the game was created by Paul Tonge. Even though the game was never released, a lot of work went into making it. According to Richard Kay, one of the founders of the company that made the game, Software Creations, the project ended up costing the company about £10,000.
