This is a very cool game. I never got very far in it but it was clear it was way ahead of its time. I like going into shops and buying foods that give you power-ups, and kicking a ball around in some park, if I remember rightly.
That was a great review you did of Dragon Warrior. I'd love to see more retro reviews.
I see you posting on Twitter a lot, even though I don't exactly post much myself.
Good to see you around Pixlbit again, Jamie!
On windows and PS4 as well.
I've always wanted to play the No More Heroes games. I love that over-the-top zany attitude in some Japanese games like God Hand.
Iris.Fall looks interesting. I was playing Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes last week and almost finished it. You figure out crimes by wandering around fully rendered environments and examining evidence, solving a few puzzles, and putting together a case. I was pleasantly surprised by it.
Octopath sounds great. I hope it migrates to other consoles. Still don't have a Switch.
I keep hearing about it. Some mentioned Advance Wars as a comparison and my heart skipped a beat. I soooo want to play it but I'm mostly a console player.
I started a strategy game the other day on Xbox Game Pass, Mutant Year Zero, that's like X-COM but with some free roaming and crafting. Battles are turn-based just like X-COM. I'm liking it so far.
I got an Alexa Echo device for Xmas but I still haven't hooked it up yet. I kind of want to check it out.
I go back to this game every so often to see how far I can get. I know I respawn after a death but the deaths are so disappointing to me, and seem unfair, that I always stop after a particularly annoying death. The game encourages you to explore, and that's fun, but you inevitably stumble into an area where the monsters are too strong for you and you'd be very lucky to be allowed to run from an encounter. That just always burned me up.
I've been watching and reading DBZ lately and see the art style similarity to Dragon Quest. Akira Toryiama, I presume. I love his work.
The iOS version sounds great. I wish it would come to modern consoles though. I like the big screen. Which reminds me, I have it on GBC and can play it on my GameCube Game Boy Player. That's a solution.
I couldn't find the original strip at my library. Only the recent comic book by someone else. I've played that NES game and it's really cool. Too bad I had to get rid of my 80s and 90s decks recently.
