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.
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.
Funny how both Space Invaders and Galaga came to the same conclusion for how to evolve the franchise: cute 'em up!
Galaga '88 is a LOT harder than Space Invaders was though.
@PeteFrith Anyway, I'll be talking about ET this week sometime with Pete, it MIGHT go to next week, as the NBA Finals has me freaking out. I miss the good ole days when my team was no good. It was such a stress-free existence.
Let's jump to the next option: Top Gun: Firestorm Advance!
