Review/Interview-with-the-developers of Night Creatures out recently!

Very well-written post.  Includes brief interviews with 2 of the developers of Night Creatures.  Having never played the game yet, after this review, I'm apprehensively looking forward to trying this game out in the near future.

Night Creatures is much more satisfying to figure out and beat than most games. I committed myself to finishing it after an extreme PCE fan challenged me to do it and have enjoyed the game for what it is ever since. It's so cool that it is related to Transylvania, since it is one of the only computer games I'd played before getting my first PC in the late 90's. Night Creatures definitely has a familiar spooky vibe, even if it is more humorous.

It sounds like Dave Albert disliked the idea of consoles in general and knew very little about the PC Engine. I believe that he would be shocked by the artistic achievements of so many developers who pushed camels through the eye of a needle for both memory cards and the tacked-on mass storage device.

Yeah he seemed to be "out of the loop" a bit after developing NC. I am not one to fan rage on him though.

WHAT?!!!!! Well, this marks the THIRD awesome thing I have missed whilst M.I.A.

I will happily read this later...

That was an outstanding article! Really, really well done.

I want to like Night Creatures, I really do. That and Ghost Manor. I love the goofy/horror theme of both games, and know that they've both found fans over the years. Unfortunately, try as I might, I always come to the same conclusion: these games are awful.

They suck it. I find Monster House (Ghost Manor, whatever) to be more fun/playable/doable than Night Creatures, though.

Well, the Brothers have posted up a couple more reviews recently:

Seiya Monogatari (Anearth Fantasy Stories) Taikenban - This is a promotional disc with a short demo mode.  It seems that it's main redeeming value is a hidden Easter Egg shot-'em-up hidden in the game - Cychorider.  I would love to try the game, but I don't know if I'll ever get the chance.


Awesome Stuff... in Not-So-Awesome Games - This is an interesting article about weak games which surprisingly have a nugget of good gameplay, design, graphics, and/or music buried somewhere in them.


Both of these reviews are worth reading... so, do so!

...And they've posted up another review today on their website!

Flash Hiders - review of a fighting game which I do not have, but after reading the review, I'm going to put it on my wish list.

[Arkhan]

frash hiders is pretty jawesome.

I imported the SFC version of Flash Hiders, Battle Tycoon, a long time ago.  I always meant to pick up Flash Hiders for comparison's sake at some point.  Does it need 6 button controllers to work correctly?
