MAHJONG APOCALYPSE was a total blast! I'm very proud to have clawed my way out of Hell and into the finals to a third place finish. The best part is that it means that Woozle gets to play Virtual Hydlide! Big thanks to Kongou for hosting, and Rezuul for adding commentary!

『HYDLIDE』
当時を知る皆さんには説明不要、RPG黎明期のニッポンに颯爽と現れ、パソゲー界を席巻したと言って過言ではないゲームでしょう。
作業ゲーなレベル上げも、ヒントの少ない謎解きも、それが面白かった!
……いやまぁ、3体目のフェアリーはわかんねーよ、とは思いましたがw

Super Hydlide. Noon Eastern. I'm going to regret this, aren't I? Join me, class, as I explore the only Hydlide game I haven't played. Surely it's better than the NES Hydlide, right?

The Steam page for Ringlorn Saga is up! Please give it a wishlist if you want a bite-sized Action RPG inspired by Hydlide.

Hydlide (1984) - Just a fun little adventure! A great template to work from for micro-rpg devs, and it inspired the Fairune games which I adore. I'd really like to make a game in this style someday.

I lose the race in Virtual Hydlide to Drop in both time AND points. Virtual Hydlide was actually kinda sick, and if it ran better it would be an actual good game. Thanks for joining us, class! Now as punishment, I'll need to do a Hydlide 3 stream. Look forward to it!

Many new developers around that time themselves used guides for the games they enjoy. A schism opened between teams creating increasingly easier, more intuitive titles like Ys & Zavas vs. those still valuing difficulty & guide/hintbook usage for titles like Ishtar & Hydlide III.

I mention 2D side scrolling adventure games over something like Wizardry or Hydlide because almost every angle of this game is visually appealing and gives me the same sense of scale those games gave me. Everything feels Big and Vast, and side scrollers gave me that same feeling.

I cleared Demonic Hordes in Alien Vendetta from pistol start "only" dying 84 times! Honestly, way better than I expected. We'll beat the last 5 maps next time! Thanks to and for raids! Tune in tomorrow at 10am EST for Hydlide suffering on Bloom Center CX!

昔、データのセーブ&ロードはカセットテープの録音&再生でやっていたんですよね。高校のころMSX2のハイドライド3にどっぷりはまってました。

Decided to do a small pixel mockup following the aesthetic of who is developing the game Omen of Duality, which takes after Hydlide, Ys, and Zelda. I clustered my shapes a bit more for less noise. Might expand this piece with more tiles and stuff.

Underwater experiments somewhat based on an area in the special version of Hydlide 3.
