Ghost manor: Why all the Hate?

[T2KFreeker]

First Deep Blue, now Ghost Manor - what's the next piece of mediocre trash that will be "rediscovered" as a "gem"? Auto-Crusher Palladium? Power Gate? Fighting Run? Slime World? The possibilities are endless!

Nothing wrong with Slime World either...angry much? And, how is this "Rediscovered" if I have been a fan of the game since it first released? Also, I never said it was a "Gem" either. Over exaggerating much too? Sheesh. You'd think I just spit in your socks or something. Don't be so melodramatic.

My entire post was inspired by that Awesome comic you posted.

Ha, aren't you exaggerating when you say that there's "nothing wrong" with Slime World? What more needs to be said!

I got that, Mister "I'mma gonna make some more Turbo Doodles, someday, hopefully, maybe." I just grabbed my favorite issue to quote you. Is that okay or did you want me to quote the whole thing? Mew mew mew.

Issue #1: Folks complain about the open level design (these are the same people who have difficulty navigating from their own bed-to-toilet).

Issue #2: Folks complain of their "brain hurting" because of #1

Issue #3: No Disney license, so no reason to play it.

Issue #4: No pedophile porn, so no reason to play it.

...

Issue #11: RARE didn't make this, so no reason to play it.

Issue #12: No video game + comic book cross-promotion, so no reason to know game exists.

Issue#13: Comic is more awesome than video game.

There. oops. Spoon.

Also funny.

I. Love. You. <3tits

Yay! So fun...it must be nice to know that your taste in games is absolute and everyone else is wrong? I guess, what else is new? I am known for liking what are universally known  as bad games. Whatever.

I don't hate this game. It's just not good, that's all. I love how it looks, I love the theme, and after seeing the Turbo promo VHS back in the day, I had super high hopes for it. But then I bought it and discovered it was an annoying version of Chutes n' Ladders.

The character's giant dome bothers me. Like maybe all the control issues were intended because he has a serious learning disability...?

The art style seems to echo Ghostbusters on Genesis—at least, that was my initial reaction when I first saw Ghost Manor.

I don't mind a little irreverent joking, so I would expand your theory by suggesting that our protagonist suffers, tragically, from hydrocephalus.

Did Paranoia_Dragon ever provide a name of the designer/designer's kid in an old post? I think he did.

Anyway, I think it is awesome when character design is inspired my a real non-celebrity person.

It's one of the dev team members, just like how Hudson put Takahashi Meijin in Adventure Island.

I always thought this game looked and sounded like ass, but don't take my word for it!

Also RE: Slime World - I can't say the gameplay blows me away, but I love the added cinemas and CD music in the PC Engine version of Slime World.  I've played the Lynx version a little bit and I can't say I wanna play it all day long, but I would buy the PCE version for cheap if it presented itself.

I thought it always was a cheap PCE game?

The music alone was worth purchase.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply it was expensive, just that it's low ranking on my want list.  Still, I would have some interest in it one day.

I can't take that character sprite.  The game feels like a PC shareware game from the era...
