Shape Shifter - I never really gave this game much time after I got it a few years ago during one of my pushes to complete my collection. But today, during a marathon session of games like Talespin, JJ & Jeff, Keith Courage, Riot Zone, and Last Alert, I decided to pop in Shape Shifter. Man, I'm glad I did. What a great game! It took a little while for me to warm up to it, but once I did, I really liked it. The audio is great, the visuals are really impressive, and I like the Simon's Quest-vibe I get from it.
My only complaints are a) The main character is a bit sluggish and I hate how he jumps. I missed a number of platforms because of his goofy jump, b) Those damn flying enemies! They don't give much damage, but they are annoying as hell. I'm talking about the flying bugs, bats, n' shit. But I guess the same is true for most games. c) The fortune-teller seems useless. I got stuck in a certain area and wasn't sure where to go next. The fortune-teller, rather than giving me a clue, simply said something to the effect of, "You have great strength inside you. That's all I have to say" and took his 30 coins. Ripoff!
Anyway, love the game and glad I finally put some time into it.
