Synopsis

Barbie is a 1991 platform video game developed by Imagineering and published by Hi Tech Expressions for the Nintendo Entertainment System and MS-DOS. It is based on Mattel Inc.'s doll of the same name. The game takes place in a dream where Barbie must travel through three different worlds (Mall, Underwater and Soda Shop) to gather accessories before attending a ball to meet Ken. Barbie was created in an attempt to get more girls to play video games. Despite it having been of little interest to typical gamers at the time of its release, critics including staff writers for Velikij Drakon and Allgame have praised it as "not bad" for a generic platformer. Others including Justine Cassell and Nathanael Ng of the Georgia Institute of Technology have advanced the view that its genre is not appropriate for its content.
