It took nearly 120 games before they remembered that they could use "woman" in the names.

I always found this game interesting to watch and I enjoy the runs of it but looking at it, I can kinda see why it never came over to the US or Europe. It just looks kinda... janky? Like, the sprites of the enemies don't quite fit into the level geometry and poo poo like that. It's weird and I can't quite put my finger on it.

it actually got ported to the GBA for a western release :goonsay:

except that port is even worse because in order to fit the aspect ratio they just cut off the top and bottom parts of the screen. blind jumps ahoy!

This loving run is literally unwatchable for me because it has an EXTREMELY high pitched noise (think those old CRT pitches) that I loving hear over everything and it's giving me a headache. Seems like today is their day for technical issues.

Its the game that Brutal Legend desparately wishes it was. Its probably one of the most underappreciated/discussed gems of its generation and a Genesis exclusive

Herzog Zwei is fine but way overhyped / rose-colored glasses imo. It's aggressively fine.

It's fine as a predecessor but that doesn't mean it's great.

Bass, known as Forte (フォルテ Forute?) in Japan, is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily to imitate Mega Man's design, along with Treble, an imitation of Rush's design. He was created based on a research conducted on Mega Man with the intention of surpassing his power sometime during or before the events of Mega Man 6, and made his debut in Mega Man 7. Bass is the prominent anti-hero of the original Mega Man series, and his goal is to become the most powerful robot in existence. Although Bass and Mega Man are rivals, at times they team up to take down mutual enemies of the two. Despite being created by Dr. Wily, Bass frequently rebels against his creator, usually for his own purposes. Bass was later succeded by Zero, an advanced creation from Dr. Wily.

Ya -- it's worth acknowledging as the game that basically gave birth to the RTS genre, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it.

(Incidentally, today is its 27th anniversary!)

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually hearing CRT noises that gets picked up by one or more of the microphones. I remember them turning up the mics of these guys a bit at the start of a run, just kinda weird that you'd hear it now and never before. I guess my old man ears are too damaged cause I ain't hearing poo poo other than game sound and the dudes talking :v:

I was worried that, nearing 30, my ears would be loving dead and also I've been blaring metal in my car for over a decade. But thanks to this run I feel as young as I ever have! Thanks AGDQ!
