Shadow of the Beast

[soop]

So I played it a bit the other day.  I seem to remember it getting rave reviews on the Amiga, and me being disappointed in it, and it's the same now.
The load times are a pain, but aside from not knowing what's going on, it doesn't seem to give you any clues on what to do.
There's a well, and there's a house, and I learned you need to go to the house first, because you need a key.  Then I learned that in the house, there's a monster than can kill you instantly.  Wicked.

Then I learned that I could get a fireball thing from a demon playing catch, and I just don't care anymore.  This game isn't great in my opinion, am I wrong?

I used to play this alot but to be honest i loved the music more than the game. its not a bad game just a bit clunky to play its very computer ish if you know what i mean a bit basic still love that music tho.

I love the last boss. I always wanted to do battle..with a foot

[Tatsujin]

Pce music is uberkickass. Game itself belongs on the amiga

I remember when it was released the graphics were really impressive, but when I actually played it on a friends Amiga I thought it was rubbish.

Welcome to the world of the Amiga.

The Amiga was great!  And the Amiga and the PCE are cousins.

[SuperDeadite]

Cousins?  Well I suppose the PCE would be the beautiful perfect girl.  While the Amiga is the hick-redneck cousin who doesn't know the meaning of the word shower and the rest of the family always forgets to send the X-Mas card.

[soop]

Nah, the Amiga is the tall brainy girl who goes off to get a college degree.

[SuperDeadite]

But then flunks out and does scat porn.

I think that you should finish a game like this before passing judgement. Although I don't think you'll find it to be amazing in the end, it definitely leaves you with a different impression when you look back on it as a whole.

Yes.

See, this is how SotB works.

1) You begin with epic parallax cloud atmosphere and music that makes you go HOLY SHIT
2) You walk left.  Only dumbasses walk right
3) You go on an adventure including battling giant demon bulldozers and dragons.  You get a jetpack and a pulse rifle.

The PCE version is the best playing one, with the best music.

The best art is still the Amiga one.

You get a Jetpack?  Hmm.  Maybe it needs another go.

[Arkhan]

Yes you get a jetpack and a pulse rifle.

[Nando]

Most everything is better with a jetpack and a pulse rifle.
