Is that the game that had the cool topdown sequel that was never released in America?

In the US version the pig commits piggy suicide to feed a group of starving villagers, but in the Japanese version he does it to feed a group of starving cannibals who otherwise would go Texas Chainsaw Massacre on the protagonist and his friends.

My Second Re-Reg posted:Illusion of Gaia also had one of my greatest young fail moments. In the Great Wall section there are spikes blocking your way you have to remove by hitting a switch. There was one spike in particular where, when I hit the switch, it wouldn't lower the associated spikes (or maybe partially lowered them; it's been a long time). I've probably beaten Illusion Of Gaia 20 times and I don't remember this at all. That's hilarious. To be fair the game did come with a manual that was like 120 pages and walked you through the game if you needed it. Maybe that ridiculous puzzle was one of the ways Nintendo combated video game rentals (because they never include the manual). A lot of 8 and 16 bit games were a lot harder in the US because video game rentals are illegal in Japan so they didn't feel like they needed to screw the player as much to make sure they couldn't beat it during a rental.

I called the stupid tip line because I was stuck in a spot in The Lost Vikings, something with an arrow? I got in mega trouble. Ended up beating the rest of the game pretty handedly though. The Lost Vikings is good

ZeusCannon posted:Is that the game that had the cool topdown sequel that was never released in America? If you're referring to Terranigma, yes, that game is a sort of spiritual sequel. The 'loose trilogy' is Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia/Terraenigma, the same way that John Carpenter has his "Apocalypse trilogy" in The Thing/Prince of Darkness/At The Mountain Of Madness. precision posted:lmao i've already missed 6 red gems somehow As said, not worth it finding them all. If you can find enough to get the last rewards before 'all of them', you're good. Some are a real bitch to get: there's one in the first town that will only spawn if a fisherman is at a certain dock and you check his basket and to get him to move there you basically have to go in and out of houses until the RNG decides to move him there, and you have to do it basically right when you first see him because if you go to the next area you advance the plot and can't go back.

You have it a little backwards. The manual got you through like the first 5th of the game, but told you where all the red jewels were.

I remember for one of these there's a place in the wall where his hair blows if you're standing in front of it. Pretty clever sprite use IMO.

I got this game but other than Zelda had never played an RPG before and was still too young to really understand WTF was happening or what to do, and so it creeped me out and I never got anywhere. Anyway that was a couple weeks ago, let me know how your run goes op because it stumped me that's for sure.

Pretty clever sprite use IMO. more than one place where that happens, actually! A close examination of where and when Will’s fine hair is moved by the wind can help you through some otherwise fiendish puzzles  also idk about the rest of you but the version I bought had a no-fooling almost complete walkthrough of the whole game, including all of the Red Jewels. I can probably find them all by memory now

Was Brainlord any good? I seem to remember it being of a similar genre, just uglier. The unfinished LP of it that is or was on the archive was pretty funny in how much the player disliked aspects of the game. We lost so much when viddler and Google video went down.

the cool bit about Brain Lord is the Jewels: you equip one and out comes a little buddy who can help you blast monsters or keep you safe or w/e, and it gets stronger as you fight and you can name them less cool are all the jumping puzzles.

Is illusionn of gay-a the next world of Warcraft OP? If so I guess that’s cool. I played wow in college but then I became cool (that didn’t last long LMAO amirite) but also I subscribe to an app slash channel called Gaia which has bullshit pseudoscience documentaries and meditations but I eat that poo poo up cuz I’m a goddamn. Moron well I hope your night is good.
