I'm a master system devotee from way back.<br /><br />A few games I don't see in your review list, but which I think you'd really enjoy, are:<br /><br />Ori and the Blind Forest - excellent game that owes a debt to Super Metroid<br /><br />Owl Boy - even better game that reminds me of Dragon's Trap <br /><br />Elliot Quest - my favourite game of 2017, a tribute to Zelda II<br /><br />They're all available on PC. I played EQ on 3DS, which was magnificent until the game-breaking crash a few minutes before the final battle - so maybe avoid that version!

Fantastic touches such as the pyramids, shipwreck and blissful cherry blossom tree. I've read many reviews on steam with hardly a bad word being uttered! Very few games can say the same, thanks for making this :)Lukey Firebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048168897735233897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-8628666065220880172017-06-28T16:03:25.934+01:002017-06-28T16:03:25.934+01:00Some points there, I agree for the most part.

I love the new graphics, but I have to admit I still play with the old music on. The new music's good and all, it just doesn't have the immediacy and vibrancy of the old tunes.<br /><br />Also, I'm not sure about their decision to get rid of charm points. Sure, they were a right pain to collect back in the day (they were only random drops and demanded a lot of grinding), but there was something quite nice about the conceit that the shopkeeper wouldn't sell you things unless you were really charming. It gave you another thing to think about when choosing your armour, too. Still, that's a tiny niggle for a lovely game. I'm really happy it's back.Binkbenchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03947673688012262911noreply@blogger.com
