Ecco the Dolphin frustrated me too. I really wanted to see all the underwater graphics in the game, but the gameplay was difficult in parts and the goals mystifying. I'll have to go through it with a guide to see everything next time.
That Space Invaders graphic with the modern warfare hardware below is really cool.
I just discovered my version of the SP is not the brighter backlit one. There's a better GBA SP out there, the one with Model Number AGS-101, that has a brighter screen. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for one.
I love the size of that thing, so compact. I just wish it had a headphone jack and a brighter screen. I have the Tribal Edtion.
What did the fever dreams tell you to play?
I remember years ago a guy at my work raving about how much he loved XCOM on PS and I thought, interesting, and nothing more. Then I played XCOM designer Jullian Gollop's Rebelstar Tactical Command and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars on DS and 3DS respectively and loved them. Then I played the demo for XCOM: Enemy Unknown and loved that. Now I'm finally checking out what my friend was raving about all those years ago.
I fear it will punish me like SMT Devil Survivor did, but it hurts so good.
My local retro game store looked so empty and soon to disappear a few months ago and then all of a sudden they were flush with stock making it a great place to go. I'm happy.
So did I, but this week I decided I couldn't resist its punishing gameplay. It's sado-masochistic, I know.
Lemegeton sounds like the town where all the Lemmings live, right next to the town where all the Hobbits live. They're kinda similar at a quick glance.
But seriously, it looks kinda cool.
