It definitely kicks your ears into overdrive and forces you to concentrate.

“It's over, Charles. You're ﬁnished. You're mine now.”

“You will never win.”

“And why is that?”

“Because you are alone. And I am not… Unleash your power, Jean.”

It’s a visual treat and a lot of fun. Will take a few tries to recapture the skill level of three decades ago.

It definitely plays like it.

Yeah there were some truly beautiful games coming out at this time. It looked like art at times.

Yeah it’s good fun. Always got a kick out of the look of underwater games.

Yeah the homebrew crew are definitely the heroes keeping our childhood systems alive, pushing them to limits that was thought impossible. They’re the ones who make me believe that magic is real.

Bullseye!! 😄 Someone really missed the boat on making these video game characters. You have to names right there ready to go!

Good lord. I can only imagine how they’d try to market the savoury treat of my childhood.

Flakes of yummy coconut on fruity candy mushrooms. There are red ones, blue ones, pink ones, yellow ones, orange ones, and purple ones. Bet you can’t have just one.

You’re not wrong. Would’ve helped out a lot of parents who were not comfortable to talk to their children about the birds and the bees.😄

It was such a treat in the ‘90s and good to see a decade later they were still being included.

SAM Retro @retroman.bsky.social · 23h

It’s a classic and well worth the investment. Quite challenging but addictive enough to keep playing to get value out of it.

Oh my goodness this was bizarre!😳What does it all mean?! Is it about teaching us our levels of patience compared to others. Loved the animations of how they all moved. Thanks for sharing this.👍
