Oh yeah, I forgot I had that. Shining Wisdom wouldn't be THAT bad if not for the fact that the gameplay mechanic eventually causes physical pain it's so awkward. IMO it's a lowpoint for the series.

WELL, MAYBE SOMEDAY.
Does Iron Storm have anything to do with Metal Storm?
NOPE. It's a WWII-in-present-day military strategy game. SNORE.

They're all expensive on Saturn, Rayearth, Sega Ages, Shining Wisdom, Dragon Force.

Brutal.

You guys should check out Retronauts Live Episode 46, which features an interview with Vic Ireland. There's some cool stuff in it!

to me what sucks about Shining Wisdom is that you can't equip a secondary weapon. So stupid to have to switch between a sword and some boots for instance. But the game itself is excellent in my opinion. And I feel like if that stupid little snag been addressed, it could have been a strong contender for so-called Zelda-killer.

I really want to start collecting Working Designs games. I think I'll start with the Lunar games on PS1... This will be fun.

I was a little late into the PSX game, but I remember always seeing the Lunar sets and whatnot and I'd just get the dumbest big smile at how awesome their sets were. I do have the Arc the Lad collection though and yeah, it feels like I own some kind of relic discovered from some ancient ruins or something. I'll probably sucker up and put money down for those Lunar sets someday.
