it does look surprisingly similar but Return of Cooler was 1992, and this game is 1988. Transformers: The Movie was 1986 so it's more likely to be Unicron or a common ancestor.

https://i.imgur.com/G6tBrPO.jpg The Guardian Legend (known as Guardic Gaiden in Japan) was a hybrid Action Game and Shoot 'Em Up created by Compile and published by Irem (in Japan) and Brøderbund Software (in North America) for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Released around 1988, it's likely fo...

My foreseeable future: More Final Fantasy XIV , NG+ of Armored Core , absolutely more Void Stranger , my usual dipping into Warframe and simple web puzzle games, and past that - no idea. October Void Stranger ! Yes, I wrote this one up last time, but I had barely gleaned its depths at the time. Sin...

Trivia (Final, maybe) -Depending on your time, the music in the title screen would change. Under 6 Minutes unlocks "Curly's Theme" (Running Hell), Under 5 Minutes unlocks the Toroko Theme, Under 4 minutes unlocks the King Theme (White), Under 3 Minutes unlocks "Sue's Theme" (Saf...

Actual kinda spoilers? Very minor though, but samuel don't open them I really want raocow to nap on Chaco's bed and then go "oh......" in a dejected manner after he notices the lipstick in his inventory I can't deny that I was a little disappointed, but there's always a chance of it happe...

So with Tooie done and dusted, there's three games left in the series. A racing game for the GBA that no one ever talks about, a GBA platformer people go "that was a thing that happened" to... And the driving game that killed the series. We're... Probably stopping here, any errant romhack...

When you already know the story and are paying less attention to each individual text box, and try to do the quest by memory instead of following the cues, it can end up with a lot of extra backtracking as you realize the game actually expects a specific order of actions and you can't just use your...

Grasstown and Sand Zone are a bit tedious with the backtracking, funnily enough they knew that and made the switch port more friendlier making possible to carry 2 jelly juice bottles at once yeah, likewise with dog-stacking in sand zone (which raocow has already mentioned and acknowledged). Cave St...

To throw my hat in the ring of opinions on note clusters: the idea of a trail of breadcrumbs leading you through places is all well and good, but that only works the first time you enter the level. ghost/outline collectables help with this; the marker remains on repeat visits, and can be "re-c...

ahahaha yeah there was no way the other two were getting picked, colour me unsurprised

ok so i don't want to wait to bring this up until sand zone 2: labyrinth boogaloo so what kind of an actual fucking jackass names their kid misery ? you are just setting up so much justified resentment there My guess is that she chose that name for herself because she's a horrible little goth greml...

Only bebfore the air runs out, after that is all over My interpretation has always been that the rope is damaged/pulled away by the flooding while your systems reboot during/after the air tank transfer. It's possible to obtain it before, during and after the fight while your air ticks down, so it's...

I don't see what the issue with Jenka is. She's just a paranoid old witch, and with good reason.

The problem is that she overestimated Balrog's willingness to hurt her under this new Crown-wearer.

Speaking of early 90s anime, I didn't get far into Ranma ½ before dropping it because of that little old guy who was a panty thief. Every scene where he did his shtick was just unbearable to watch. completely unrelated aside about anime I never watched the anime but loved the manga as a young teen....

I like the catchy Egg Corridor theme but I despise the floor crawling spark (called Basil). It's not a great feeling when you try shooting it only for it to eat your shots and you get destroyed instantly. I'm just not a fan of invincible enemies - generally, if they're presented as foes (barring st...

there's ground, so he dug a tunnel. makes as much sense as anything else!

KobaBeach wrote: ↑5 months ago this is ABSURDLY rude but i've always felt that ccl looks like a test map

I think this is a curse of sky island type environments. It's nowhere near as test-map-looking as Rainbow Ride or half of Sunshine's bonus stages, but you ain't wrong. It does look... Hodgepodged.

The vibes of Bonk 3 are just...

over an hour of raw unredacted bonking
