Java Tea edition? That sounds like some kind of marketing joke. Is that a thing that exists?

EDIT: It IS a thing that exists! Reason #456 why I miss Sega.

Of course it exists, SEGA hammered the VF series to the point they made freakin' insane "Portraits" of the fighters from VF 1, the VF portrait series. Individual discs complete w/art, instructions, spines etc. Little "movies" telling the back story of each fighter, gawd awful and bloody great at the EXACT same time.

i have been playing maximum carnage, which is a beat em up. the game is great, but it is hard. very hard. you are only given 3 lives and 1 continue, which makes the game very unforgiving. i needed a break from it and decided to play some streets of rage 2. the game seems ssslllloooowwww compared to maximum carnage. and i hate how the characters can't run. but, the game is great. i still haven't beaten streets of rage yet, which i might do next.

I can't decide if this game is more brilliant than it is offensive. I suppose that's not a bad place to be entirely.

Are you aware of the secret rooms? You can build up a stock of lives fairly quickly with them.

Tiny hint: The first one is in stage two, Climb. It involves a window.

There's quite a few secrets in Maximum Carnage if you keep an eye out. The secret rooms can be stupidly hard to discover, but there are other in stage secrets that can help a lot too.

i am aware of them now. i hate doing it, but i had to use a walkthrough. and yes, they are hidden in stupid areas. no way i would have ever discovered them myself. they are very helpful, however. i can actually get through a decent chunk of the game now.

the dual boss fights are the worst. i lose the bulk of my lives from them. i'm still trying to find a better method to kill them without them killing me.

have you ever beat it?

Thoughts on the Game(s)
I utterly loved this game, so stylish. If there is ever a game that proves the point that video games are art, it is this one.

It is kind of a mix up of an old school point and click adventure game, with a mix of Professor Layton style puzzles, there is no speech in game, the story is told in pictographs.

Utterly BRILLIANT!

I hope to see a physical copy cheaper than $30, as a fan of point and click adventure games, it is one I would love to have in the collection.
