I didn't know that either. That's awesome.

Also, the music in those ZX Spectrum games was a technical marvel at the time, but it is absolutely brutal listening to it now. (The game is annoying enough without it.)

That said, the games' box art is rad as hell:

I kind-of want to screen print those onto a black t-shirt. That would pretty much make me the king of retro gaming nerds. (Screen printing the King's Field artwork would have pretty much the same effect.)

Went out hunting today for a few cheapie Wii games because I saw them on that "Best 100 Wii Games" Thread that got pushed up to the top yesterday.

The Monkey King (which is basically Son Son?)
Overlord Dark Legend (because I love Overlord)

Also picked up the Arland Atelier Trilogy, both because it's only 20 bucks now, but also because I've always been meaning to try them. Someone I knew back when I frequented the RetrowareTV forums a lot LOVED the Atelier games, so I've always been looking for an excuse to get some if they were cheap.

Sadly, that game is not good. It is a very, very basic shmup, and you can beat it in 30 minutes.

Nah dawg it's a sequel of sorts to Cloud Master. Saint (another cheapo Wii game) rounds out the trilogy.

SonSon is a completely different beast.

And yeah, The Monkey King is extremely pedestrian, mediocre, and easy...

Give it a try. It's mindless "fun."

Well, given that it DOES have 2 player (hopefully co-op), it may be spared a return.

I think I may buy that complete-pack for Hearts of Iron III that's on sale now for 8 bucks. That may be a more valuable total time-sink :p

I think everyone here knows what a Nep-fanatic I am, and I did NOT like that game. At all. It's the only game in the entire series I dislike (including Producing Perfection), but they really dropped the ball on that one IMO.
