AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Hi-Tech Expressions
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Multigame
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Join in the fun with Barbie and her friends as they
                  embark on various adventures.  Inspired by the popular
                  girl's fashion doll made and marketed by the Mattel toy
                  company.

IMPRESSIONS:      Perhaps the closest thing you will find in the English
                  G/MD library to a shojo-style game.  They're every little
                  girl's dream, and every serious gamer's nightmare.  My
                  niece insisted on playing them over and over until I had
                  to throw the main breaker and cut off the power.  Kids
                  may love 'em, and that's all fine and good, but I don't.

VARIATIONS:       Barbie - Super Model (1993, coded by Tahoe Software,
                    Barbie embarks on the road to super model stardom -
                    ridiculous plot, easy puzzles, crappy graphics, and the
                    sound just plain stinks)
                  Barbie - Vacation Adventure (1994, coded by Software
                    Creations - Barbie takes a vacation and visits various
                    places in the U.S. in the process - a big improvement
                    over its predecessor with improved graphics, but
                    experienced gamers will find it a boring breeze; also
                    sports a two-player option in some minigames)
