Hell yeah! Did you know that quite a few of the Baroque staff had their start working on PC Engine STGs like Seirei Senshi Spriggan, Override, and God Panic: Shijō Saikyō Gundan? I think that’s unique for a team making an RPG.

yep! and kazunori yonemitsu himself is the creator of madou monogatari and puyo puyo (i believe he worked in some capacity on some compile stgs too but i’m not sure). MM is also a first person dungeon crawler, but it’s still a remarkable background. i love baroque, i might make a thread just for it when the saturn patch comes out.

no more crouching, no more shooting downwards

Nice! I’ve been bingeing their podcast and just listened to an episode where host Lewis who was editing this (20% complete at the time) was talking about it:

what claims to be the first ever commerically released czech videogame has been translated into english

(i’m only cushioning that claim because 1994 seems very late. i know there were zx spectrum clones being made in the soviet union, so it doesn’t seem impossible that there’d be czech-made games for that. but i’m only guessing)

a password sram hack came out for alien soldier, but imho, this is a much more exciting release:

I love bashing my head against Alien Soldier even with the all the hand contortions I needed to do to play but really appreciate this
