Re: Erik Twice Reviews - RASTAAAAAAN

Post by BoneSnapDeez »

Nice review. I've been playing the arcade version of Rastan via Taito Legends. Fun game, but with some cheap moments.

I also have the Commodore 64 port, which is literally impossible to complete... :lol:

Hey thanks!

I heavily suspect that the US and World versions of the game have faster bats and more nastyness because I saw a forum thread with lots of people saying the JP rom is better. I've played it on Taito Legends but I don't remember which version it is. :lol:

Re: Erik Twice Reviews - Last Flashback issue: Grobda

Post by Erik_Twice »

After more than a year writing for it, I'm resigning from my position as columnist at Snackbar Games. I'll write more casually for the next months so here's the last issue of Flashback, tackling yet another Masanobu Endō game: Grobda.

Re: Erik Twice Reviews - Disco! Toaplan! Dangun Feveron revi

Post by Erik_Twice »

Being on my own means I can dedicate more space to shmups and here's one! Dangun Feveron, a cool Toaplan homage by Cave that is as difficult as it is great. And it's really, really difficult.

Dangun Feveron (AAA)

Writing about shooting games is hard but you learn a lot by trying to do so. But my biggest breakthrough is learning how to upscale pictures without using Paint or other terrible programs, now the pictures are nice and crispy! Enjoy!

Re: Erik Twice Reviews - Long live the Queen! (I hope)

Post by Erik_Twice »

A couple weeks ago I asked you guys about Gainax's Princess Maker 2 and variants and someone recommend Long live the Queen, an indie game of similar gameplay. It's not perfect, but it's fun and a fairly liked it.

I have been blogging for three years but this one was the best! I'm improving and my articles are a little bit more decent! I wrote about what improved, what didn't and what articles I liked so if you like my blog, feel free to tell me what you thought of it and what you think can be improved, I really need some feedback, you know? :lol:

I had told you right away about the arhkam horror review :P. Also, your blog needs more platformers. Preferably of the blue protagonist kind...

He's right, you need more Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle.

There's not much gain in reviewing Sonic, it's an extremely well known game and I don't think I have an interesting perspective on it. I would rather write about other games for now.
