I don't remember Gauntlet on NES being so ugly.
If I recall, to actually make the game work on the NES at all with its sprite limits they had to do the enemies using the background layer, with all the potential wonkiness that implies.

I have been working out! My modem is broken and my phone eats half the posts I try to make, including all the posts I've tried to make here. I'll try this one more time.

Cave Story is always being played with broken (japanese?) text and even though they are just speed scrolling the text it always bugs me having no idea what's going on.

The solution is to play it in English! They're only playing it in japanese when speedrunning because japanese text is more condensed and has to scroll less to be shown. Cave Story is one of the best indie games ever.

I've been meaning to play it for a while now, it's on sale on Steam currently too.

I mean you also could play it in broken japanese anyway, treat it like one of those arthouse games where you don't know what the plot is but you know it's pretty to look at.

I mean, if I had to guess, a game like Cave Story has two options for plot/lore:

A) Guy goes in a cave, kills everyone
B) Evangelion-type multi-layered space opera delving into gods, afterlife and existentialism

Why on God's green earth does this game use a Finnish folk dance song as the background music?

Is the robot part supposed to be a spoiler? I played the original pretty blind with lo-fi graphics and when someone says ‘hey you’re a robot!’ I was surprised.

It would be great if they announced another incentive for Kingdom Hearts III that made it even longer and pushed the Mario block back 90 minutes or so

OK, some of the background chimes in Cave Story that's going on right now sound exactly like some PA announcement chimes that are common in Asia.
