Games You Played Today Classic Mini

Games have the interesting ability to do cutting satire by making you the villain; I always love that. In this case it can probably be traced back to Papers, Please?

crackdown made you be the villain, but didn’t tell you until the end, when the game is like “well you’ve just been jumping around the city mass murdering every ethnic minority, what did you think was happening here?”

It’s for brain lords. And what do all ‘lords of brain’ know with their towering intellect? City pop rules.

i think brain lord is a pretty OK action game, and i can think of worse games to spend your time playing. i’d probably play it before secret of mana if you’ve never played either. if you enjoy and appreciate 16-bit action RPGs, then you’ll probably have a decent like, 2 hours playing this.

it just seems so… proggy

japanese brain lord box art is pretty cool.

I never finished the PS1 Blaster Master game, either, though I liked it. (I didn’t like it nearly as much as the NES original, though.)

It’s actually good to hear that Blaster Master Zero isn’t very good, because it’s been the only Switch game that really interested me (at least potentially, since I knew little about it).

I just now watched the intro, and adding a lot of text (or any text, for that matter) sure isn’t an improvement. And apparently you talk to other characters, too? No, thanks. I prefer the lonely version.

I’ve always wanted to check that out but will probably get to Mystic Ark first. That art looks a lot like the person who did Arislan, or Lemnear…?
