SideQuesting.com - A review of SquareEnix's ActRaiser for the Super NES/WiiWare, taking a looking at the overt religious meaning behind the game. Heavy religion in 16-Bits.
The 1990s were a time where mech-suit manga and television shows were starting to filter into the United States. The result was that we got a boatload of cool mech games like Metal Warriors.
Still love the Power Rangers games but most of these underrated games cost an arm and a leg to buy unless you kept them around when they released.
yeah I had to resort to an everdrive cart for my Analogue Super NT because some game prices are just ridiculous.
Sparkster. Like Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis neither game seems to be brought up much. I played both game a whole lot growing up.
Wow, would you look at that? A game list with some actual forgotten gems. Color me impressed.
Good stuff. 👍
I cannot praise EVO The Search for Eden enough. This game deserves a remake as it’s one of the wildest platformer JRPGs ever made. The concept of spending XP on evolving and devolving on the fly to navigate the world was really interesting. Evolution in games is rarely tackled creatively but EVO nailed it.
This was one of my favorite games during the 16-Bit era. Me and my cousin rented it not knowing what it was and ended up finishing it. Still, to this day, one of the most unique games I've ever played. Very addictive too.
This game is truly tops. 👍
Unfortunately, not all the best games are accessible today for a whole host of reasons:
- The title is too rare or expensive to find today
- The translated version of the game never made it to U.S. or the version that came along sucked
- A good or fun game was overlooked in its time and deserves some spotlight
Released only a few months after the Super NES itself, the game quickly showed off the promise of Nintendo’s powerful new system,.
Still unique, one of its kind. I am still waiting for a good spiritual successor or a sequel.
Yup. Great game and great music. I remember I had the Japanese version before I started studying Japanese so I had to figure out the god segments with pure trial and error as I couldn't read a single character. Good memories!
I loved this game as a kid..the music was fantastic!-Side note this is for VC not Wiiware..
