it feels good to fling yourself around the level when you figure out how to do it, and the vibe is immaculate with a killer soundtrack, but... i dunno.

i feel like i would really need a co-op partner to get the best experience from the gameplay, and the only candidate i have hates all platformers

all i remember from playing the first call of duty a few years ago is the soviet part of the story starting with recruits in a boat being told "it is a great honor to fight the nazis, not one step backwards, if you try to run away or disobey orders you will be killed"

some of em still tried though

thank you! i wish it was a model 1 sega CD, or at least it had the base extender plate thingy but it's still quite a beast to have lol

interesting that the saves still held up, and one of them has a "can't be that bad" clear time under 90 minutes on it, they had 3 (but not all) of the chaos rings so it probably could have been even better

the entry price is (kinda) worth to hear this game in surround sound with a subwoofer

i'm not as versed in the shoot game as much as other people deep into the sixteenth-bit library, but from what i've played, thunder force 3 on genesis and magical chase on turbografx are on the easier-ish side

horse is komaeda dangan ronpa and are dragging you deeper into despair. i called 911 and they told me this

it's also one of the slooooowest burn video games i have ever played. it feels like you're following a trail of breadcrumbs the entire game and i lost the trail quite a few times by the end, and i can mark the exact point (one alien convo lead to 4 artifacts) i got on the fast track to winning

it's also kinda lame that you get like 5 iframes on taking damage, points do nothing since there's no 1ups, and you lose all powerups except max HP when changing stages

it's easy to tell that it came out a few months after thunder force 3 in japan even though it came out a while after 4 in the U.S.
