quote:

Upon saving a princess, she asks Kuros to marry her, prompting a yes/no response for the player; if the player selects "no", the princess responds with "If you refuse, my heart will surely break!" and prompts the yes/no response again - similar to the "but thou must" response in Dragon Warrior. In addition, as all three princesses will have committed to marrying all three forms of Kuros, the original plan for the game's ending was for the three princesses to come together and see their heroes whom they were going to marry, only to find out all three princesses promised to marry the same person. To rectify the situation, Pickford called for what he referred to as "the ultimate cheapo cop-out", where a UFO abducts Kuros with a teleport beam, sending him into the future and setting the stage for the next sequel which would have been called Lasersword. However, this never came to be.

I know Herzog Zwei is kind of famous, but I also dicked around once with the original MSX Herzog, which was set up where there's a split screen with a single linear path, and you spawn units at the bottom that start walking up the screen to your opponent. You can pick them up and drop them further ahead to try to bunchup units or leapfrog defenses and stuff. I remember there was a really expensive ICBM weapon that very slowly moves offscreen on the minimap but once it reaches the enemy base it's an instawin.

Think it's kind of neat that it's produced it's more open free-form sequel, arguably the first game in the RTS genre, that eventually birthed the MOBA genre, that brought back AI units on lanes and controlling a single super unit.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is an actually good game IMO despite its flaws and jank and i'm sad most people slept on it.

Is that the one that’s like a remake of the first game? I still to this day have not played a single Silent Hill game

Battle of Olympus on NES was an underrated game, like a mix of Zelda 2/Castlevania 2 gameplay but in Ancient Greece

you got a club that shot fire, hermes sandals, and a bunch of other cool gear from doing tasks for all the greek gods

i remember there being a lovely part where you had to grind for a bunch of money to buy an ocarina to summon some dolphins to ride, but overall a good game

Bit of a basic reply but I honestly kinda love playing Sonic 2006? It controls like rear end and is severely broken in almost every aspect, but sometimes after laughing your rear end off at yet another dumbfuck glitch, you get into a groove of almost being able to competently steer those soap hogs into the correct directions, the level design actually works for a minute and you pull off a cool intended skip by doing the homing attacks with the right timing, and you forget that the game will cruelly take this feeling away in just five seconds by killing you with a random physics object out of nowhere, and you wonder what could have been



the story is unbelievably bad, don't get me wrong. Still it's not Shadow the Hedgehog which is somehow even stupider, harder to control despite ostensibly working as intended, and has some of the worst 3D platforming level design I've ever experienced. What an rear end game.
