this post instantly caused me a full length, fully horrible final fantasy version of Bright to play in my head in the span of a second

Anybody else play this DOS shareware game? It’s low-key a really solid game right? Somebody back me up on this claim

I have fond memories of this game, but I can’t remember if it’s actually good.
My main takeaway is that it was a Zelda-lite that cribbed heavily from the Lolo games, but again my memory might be failing me.
The game’s source was released a few years back, in case you ever want to read garbage-tier C code from the early 90s (I looked at it and it gave me a headache).

I know hindsight is 20/20 but I can’t stop thinking about this person spending the 2020 equivalent of over $200,000 USD in Bitcoin on a Super Caesar’s Palace SNES cartridge

I read this for the first time recently, but I’ll be thinking about this paragraph from a King’s Field Gamefaqs walkthrough for a long time:

I liked this game as a kid and played the first few screens a lot, but either died or just didn’t figure it out what to do after a few screens. Memory says it’s a bit of a Zelda-like with a more arcadey action approach to screen design. I tried to play it again a few years back and had mostly the same experience, partly because I’m impatient. Probably worth a genuine revisit.

this is actually, beat-for-beat, the best, or possibly most confounding gag written in any game
-
the implication that bowser, or whoever managing the hotel, would have 18 (visible on screen) toasters hooked up to a single power outlet, in a designated toaster room, causing power outages (electricians please explain)
-
bowser has his own brand of bread called “bowser’s sourpuss bread”
-
the outlet sparking is shown to have 15 connected toasters. mario then removes a power strip which is only shown to have 5 connected plugs.
-
the toasters, which had been toasting toast for an indefinite amount of time, all start projecting slices of toast upwards at a constant velocity, seemingly unaffected by gravity. this is literally just a punchline for mario saying “YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY: ALL TOASTERS TOAST TOAST”
-
why the fuck did mario say that. under what circumstances would mario ever need to say that.
-
another cutaway shot of the hotel, as if the player is watching a sitcom and/or had forgotten the setting of HOTEL MARIO

“use it. there is meaning in you using it.”
“you should have already learned what you must do. you understand, don’t you? what you must do? or do you know what you must do to atone for your sin in the real world?”
