[edit] Gameplay

The plot of PO'ed revolves around a spacecook whose ship has crash-landed on an alien world, from which it is the players task to escape. Using primitive weapons such as a frying pan and a drill, the player must advance through 26 levels filled with alien 'monsters'. A jetpack is also available to help players explore levels.

This game features characteristics similar to such classic computer games as Doom and Quake.

[edit] Graphics

When PO'ed was released in 1995, the graphics were taxing on the 3DO hardware. The graphics were improved on the PlayStation re-release in 1996.

[edit] Humour

One of the main draws of PO'ed is the humour of the game's premise. Many of the enemies are designed to produce a laugh from the player purely by what they are. Some of the weapons could be considered humorous and unconventional, and the plotline is unusual in its basic content.
