Far less inspired than the previous Lotus. Still has good controls but just kinda empty level design. Also still tough

Nice to finish a game in one sitting.

There. King of the monsters is finally done.
And that’s the rubbish 2 second ending you get for beating it on Mania with 3 continues and 3 mins time limit.

If you need convincing. David Johansen is utterly iconic here.
“First you defy me!
Then you mock my hair!
YOU’RE DEAD!”
Amazing keyboard synth soundtrack chase scene.
Magnificent.

Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love.
“And get that pinky up!”
I loved this movie as a kid. Def response to home alone style naughty kids popularity.

Useless video game knowledge.
This track from Suikoden appears to use the same two stock sound pan pipe melodies as the intro for Encarta 99. (See below)
Heard at the start and at 1:52.
I’ve known this for decades but it’s never been interesting enough to shares. I feel release now.

Trying to beat King of Monsters on Mania mode which is the only way to get an ending. Grapples do the most damage but its RNG to who wins them. Honestly who makes these design choices. Anyway time to try again.

Everytime I hear the words Megapanel a jingle plays in my head. A camel grins at me and half dressed men with lovely thighs stare at me with disapproval that I am not playing more Megapanel.

King of the Monsters is still terrible. I honestly don't get how developers expected ppl to play games like this. Grapples that are determined by RNG? Opponents who always get up 3-5 times before losing. Why even have a health bar?

A recent pick up and I'm thrilled to have my own copy. I grew up reading the comic strip in UK Sonic the Comic but never played until a few years back. At first I found it tough but after a few hours fell in love with it.
Prime example of how to design a difficult curve.

Pet peeve cheap “difficulty” in video games.
The no continues on the final level/boss.
Lazy way to make your game artificially harder/longer.

Japan is changing.
One cute thing about watching old Japanese drama is hearing slang or pop culture phrases I've never heard before that have long since died out.
That said, モチのロン can stay there.
This is from 1992 and it's probably already being said sarcastically.
