I was shown what the pits that have the shops look like.
That, I'm sorry, is *absurdly* bad design. They look exactly like the same shit you're trying to avoid. That is not proper design, I don't give a shit how legendary the game is or who made it.
Starting over, and I missed the pits. At one point I had invincibility though.
@SolidRoar told me to deliberately fall in pits. He didn't tell me why, but I did it. As far as I can tell, that just costs me time, so, thanks Saud :) Stick a fork in a light socket. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY! JUST DO IT!🤪
Um, so what am I missing here? Because this isn't as good!
I have to say, the first level was pretty dull. It had hardly any of the charm or personality of the first game. So, slow start. Let's see if it picks it up.
Level 2 is a cave, and that's the major difference: Penguin Adventure has set pieces instead of one theme repeated ♾
So I'm going to make a list of stuff to return to once I have English builds, assuming they exist. I know the MSX community is really dedicated so I assume translations exist. I'm just using standard ROM sets here, fellas.
This game, Animal Land from Enix, looks.. like LSD does.
Anaza: Kaleidoscope Special!
It's a shmup. On the plus side, you get multiple hit points. BUT, you only get one life. One of the major issues that keeps popping up is the lack of interesting power-ups, or anything interesting at all with this shmups. They all feel samey.
Aleste!
This is known as Power Strike on other systems. This is the first MSX game that has a bit of hype coming with it.
I have to do the doctor stuff today, all the way in San Francisco. But, I expect to knock out a lot of games this afternoon. Holy crap, there's Back to the Future for MSX?
Aliens?
BATMAN?
I've been waiting for this marathon for a while and damnit, I'm done waiting.
Now wait🤪
There's a good game somewhere in here. It actually feels like Indiana Jones. Mola Ram teleporting around and throwing fireballs at you (the game's NO CAMPING insurance, like Evil Otto is for Berzerk) is genuinely unnerving.
But I keep going back to the awful controls.
