Warning: lots of Cuphead: The Last Delicious Course content will be all over my timeline next week, and because of the media I need for the review, spoilers are inevitable. I will not post any content until July 1, but if everyone wants to mute me a week.. please unmute later 🤪
I have no clue how my non-gamer Dad figures this shit out but he got it.
And, you know, it's fine. I don't get how this is considered an all-time classic. Technical marvel for its time, sure, but it's just an alright action game IMO. Didn't need the tank controls at all.
"You shall be known as Darth Vader."
"Why?"
"Because, Baron Von Evil is a little too on the nose."
The biggest plus to Marvel Land by far is it does feel like a platformer set at a spread out Disneyland type amusement park. I'm VERY big on set pieces, even if it's all a facade.
MOOD MATTERS in gaming!
Super Mario isn't fun if you don't believe you're in the Mushroom Kingdom!
Um, oh, so it's a boy that's the demon. That or this game was insanely progressive for 1990.
All this effort, but the game clearly shows the enemies can swim.
Dig Dug II shows Dig Dug is objectively evil. YOU are the villain in these games.
Redo with these settings. I only dropped the difficulty one notch. The C Difficulty is, frankly, absurd. I initially had the setting on D and holy crap, wow. Impossible.
I have no clue why the colors are so fucking ugly.
Washed out.
But it's still Pac-Mania, and I loves me some Pac-Mania. A game nobody talks about. It's a 1987 game, not exactly a time arcades were rocking on all cylinders. See, it should have waited 2 years so I'd be born.
There, I finally cleared the gap in Pac-Land.
It's one of the most unintuitive games ever made. It's incredible how many things they innovated in the mascot platformer.. they basically invented it as it exists today with Pac-Land..
AND they got it all wrong along the way.
