Oneself said:I played this for the first time last year (thanks to the Jap PSN - PSone downloads) AND IT'S AMAZING. Clearly one of the best platformers ever released.. and it's hard!
Stop screwing around. Get this game everyone. Right fucking now.

Mar_ said:2D platformers are my favourite genre as well. If you are a big fan and started gaming in the 90s, you missed out on the true hey day of the genre, the 80s.
Some of my favourite games:
Super Metroid:
Wonderboy in Monster Land:
Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins:

Then I got to the end and found out it had the most terrible/abrupt ending in gaming history.
You do all this work and go through all this story and you're building up to the final climactic end and you're like "YES MY QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED!" and then it's all like "The End. <lame cutscene>"
And I was all like "THE FUCK?"
But for a free game it was alright.
DKnight said::lol :lol
You know there's multiple endings right? and that in the true ending, EVERYTHING is explained?
It's not "alright for a free game". It beats the crap out of 90% or even more commercial games.

Iam Canadian said:The Grasstown music is probably one of my favourite songs in the game. It's a shame that Grasstown itself is arguably the most tedious section of the game.
Personally, I prefer Jenka 2 (the Labyrinth music) and Running Hell.
beelzebozo said:objectively, in retrospect, this is probably true. at the time, though, i was still buzzing from the realization that it was so fully realized, and--holy shit--a real freakin' game, that grasstown didn't bother me so much. my second playthrough it got to me a little, but the first time you understand the scope of what studio pixel (all one of him, heh) accomplished, it's really something.

might be the most awesome platformer of them all. Top 5 at least.

Best post EVERTheOneGuy said:Lack of Crystal Caves in this thread is ALSO A SHAME. KILL YOURSELVES NOW, HEATHENS.
Like many of the great shareware games of the Era of 2D Platformers, Crystal Caves came in a trilogy, with the first episode available for free as the "shareware" version, and the other two available only with a full purchase.
OH MY GOD IT'S A SPIDER. But look at all that sweet, sweet treasure. Mmmm!
GIANT HAMMERS OF DOOM.
Wow it's so green.
But wait, there's more! Crystal Caves taught the young and impressionable youth of its time right from wrong!
WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS, OKAY.
EDIT:THIS MAN KNOWS HIS SHIT.Radthanael said:Halloween Harry / Alien Carnage.
Awesome array of weapons and fun... one of Apogee's last great 2D games.
Holy shit, I remember that game!! I've been trying to remember who made it and what it was called for years!KLoNe said:I think someone has forgotten Apogee's brilliant MONSTER BASH!
