Title: Cadash deja vu
Post by: vestcoat on March 14, 2006, 11:35:04 AM

I was just struck by how much this game feels like Ys 3 when i was walking out of town at the very beginning (with the river in the background) and how then a split second later it feels like i'm playing Splatterhouse when i step into the cave and the creepy music starts playing.
anyone else notice weird similarities in games recently?

I never really noticed any similarities whenever I would play Cadash, but I could understand that Splatterhouse one. By the way, that part in Cadash with the zombies is so badass!

You know, I never really made a connection between those games. I totally get the Ys 3 <--> Cadash connection now that you mention it, but I can't remember the cave / creepy music in Cadash that you referred to (in comparison to Splatterhouse).

I see the similarities, although I haven't played Ys 3 in a long while, I am having a hard time finding it now :/ but yeah all 3 are great games, it amazes me that splatterhouse can still freak me out :)

Whenever I play Cadash it remind me of when I was a kid-  I would go to Putt-Putt on Saturday and get 50 tokens to split with my brother.  One time we spent every token we had to beat Cadash.  It was a bitch because the arcade version had a time limit in addition to the usual ways you could die.  Certain games always make me reconnect with certain events or times in my life, the same as certain songs do...

The 2 biggest games for me like that are Black Tiger and SFIICE.

So after growing up and moving to the big city, the day my bank forced a line of credit on me, I called up the nearest arcade dealer and bought both.

I still remember the day, back in my home town, while staring at the new SFIICE arcade, when I promised myself and to my brother, that one day I would own that game, no matter how long it takes or what the cost.

As for Black Tiger, aside from it having a huge impact on me when it first appeared at one of our arcades, after they later moved to the local department store, when I was 9 or 10 years old, I would go there everyday after school and play through the entire game.

It didn't take me long to get back to finishing it with 3 quarters, but soon I was beating the game with a single credit and burning off all my extra lives before the last boss, racking up the highest hi-score possible.

Now its my living room coffee table.
