I remember getting really excited for the brief period of time where blockbuster was selling a few games because "holy poo poo, we can just buy these ones and they're the same price as a rental!" except what I didn't know is they were that cheap because they were poo poo.

My brother picket out Lester the Unlikely which is its own story, but I decided to pick First Samurai for the SNES because come the gently caress on, it's got a samurai it's gotta be cool right?

You'd think it'd be hard to gently caress up a game about a time traveling samurai but unfortunately it's one of those garbage amiga-style platformers where the level design is just a bunch of random poo poo in a giant mazelike box and you have to find some arbitrary amount of poo poo before you can get to the end and fight a boss, and there's no animations for being hit or anything so occasionally you overlap a hitbox and a bar just goes down and everything feels all bad and slippery. The main thing I remember about it now is hearing the guy go "MY SWORD!" when he loses it, and also the first bit of Hallelujah that plays when you... hit a bundle of fruit or something? idk.

And of course I say amiga-style but looking it up on wikipedia of course it's an actual port of an amiga game, lmao.
