A quirky hummingbird shooter that reviewers found average, and one of the pricier US 32X carts.
Kolibri is a side-scrolling shooter in which you fly a hummingbird, shooting insects so the flowers can be pollinated. Novotrade International developed it for the 32X and Sega published it, with a North American release in 1995, Europe following in November 1995 and Brazil in 1996. Magazines of the time said it came from the developers of the Ecco games.
GamePro called it average rather than awful, found the graphics grainy and the gameplay weak, and said you would expect something along the lines of Gradius or R-Type from the 32X. Next Generation thought it offered nothing that could not have been done on a stock Genesis and found the gameplay very monotonous.
How it was made
Novotrade International developed Kolibri, and Sega published it.
What the press said at the time
| Next Generation Issue 12 | December 1995 | * * |
“Kolibri isn't awful, just average. You'd expect more from the 32X - something more along the lines of Gradius or R-Type.”
“The game controls well and is interesting for a bit, but there isn't anything in Kolibri that couldn't have been done on a Genesis, and after a few plays it gets very monotonous.”
“Sadly, the game isn't much like the marine classic, instead it's a fairly plain shooter with pretty graphics. The game becomes dull after you've flown Kolibri around for a few mm utes”
Before you buy
Among US 32X games it is one of the pricier carts, so ask for a photo of the label and of the board before paying. The European cartridge usually costs a little more loose and about twice as much complete.
