For me it's Milon's Secret Castle. I like the presentation, the movement is ok enough, and I actually love how cryptic it is even though that's the usual complaint I see. The one thing that annoys me is how fast the enemies respawn. It makes the exploring tedious having to kill the same dumb little monster every 5 seconds. Would have been better if they only respawned by scrolling away from their original locations.

>most strategy games let the AI cheat in free resources
I always found it interesting that WarCraft 2 doesn't do that. Killing peasants/peons is actually a good strategy. If a mission in Beyond the Dark Portal is giving you a hard time you can always play the waiting game and defend until they run out of gold.
>>
>>12309240
Which is good design.

I will admit right now that AI in games is never perfect, and will sometimes need to cheat in order to abstract certain processes and tactics instead of simulating them, that's fine. If they get +1 stone from their stone quarries to simulate efficient pathing, placement, and other tricks that's perfectly fine.

What is not fine is being given free resources out of thin air. Cutting off supply lines is one of the most effective and most ancient military stratagems of all.

Same but Legacy of the Wizard. Great idea for a wide, labyrinthine, secret-heavy game, but it's annoying not being able to stop and think for a couple seconds because shit keeps respawning. And if I recall it's even worse because you have limited magic.

Playing it with a GBA lets you select the Advance World! option in the title screen. There is a rom hack that lets you do it on a regular GBC and you can also do it just with the debug mode.
> Wendy: Every Witch Way is one of a handful of games which unlock additional features when played on a Game Boy Advance. In this case, the player is rewarded with three more stages over the original 12. Of course, there's no technical reason for these stages to be GBA-exclusive; while games can detect that they're running on a GBA, they're not able to take advantage of any of the GBA's hardware beyond its backward-compatible GBC mode. GBA detection is based on the B register, which is initialized to 00 on a genuine Game Boy Color and 01 on a Game Boy Advance.
>While some GBC emulators can be set to run in "GBA mode", others—and perhaps more importantly, real hardware— cannot. An easy way to force the game to run in "GBA mode" (i.e. enable Advance World) is to modify the code as follows (Game Genie codes 069-76C-C45 029-77C-6EA):
>Quite early in the game's startup, it multiplies the B register by two. On the Game Boy Color, this does nothing (0×2=0) while on the GBA this results in 02 being stored in the B register. The modified code replaces that instruction with one to simply store 02 in the B register. This will cause the game to run in GBA mode on any hardware or emulator.
>This is largely moot as all players can access the Advance World levels by using the game's debug mode, but this obviates the need for that trivial nuisance.

Holy cow!

Worse than the original Wonder Boy which is a completely different genre. Worse than the first hack and slash style entry, Wonder Boy in Monster Land. Worse than the weird shoot em up entry. And worse than the subsequent entries in the series.
I understand that the game is influential, especially for the whole metroidvania genre. But it has so many little issues which made it far less enjoyable than the other entries in the series. The game is either ridiculously easy in the early game or a massive pain towards the end. The extremely short range of the sword throughout the entire game makes it feel like your weak no matter how many hearts or armor upgrades you get. The final boss is also awful, with it dragging the player along for an annoying amount of time every time you're hit. Parts of the game were enjoyable, but I heard this entry being hyped up as one of the greatest releases for the master system and in the series.

Zoomers begone. I was there for both of them. I know how popular TFC was when it first came out and how popular TF2 was during its heydey.

TFC is far better than Troon Fortress 2. The former is not updated to appeal to the insane whims of degenerates. Though no doubt they will start updating it soon and make the Scouy a troon.

I hate DC1 for the following reasons:
1. It doesn't do anything with its ambitious concept, taking place in samey, sterile lab corridors with the dinosaurs just tacked on. They could have been any kind of animalistic monster and it wouldn't have made a difference
2. 90% of the enemies you encounter are just Velociraptors, over and over and over again. Game should be called Raptor Crisis.
3. The inventory and UI system is unintuitive and needlesly complicated with item bloat galore. I assume there is a reason you have no concrete health indicator and that every action you can do in the inventory is devided into a gorillion sub menus.
4. The game is like 50% cutscenes, especially in the first half. Take two steps - cutscene, open a door - cutscene, turn around - cutscene. On and on, it's like a proto Snoy exclusive game.
5. Combat sucks and gets old very quickly due to the very limited enemy roster.
6. While puzzles are great there's just too much of them and they follow the same theme of needless overcomplication like the UI and inventory system
All in all, it's a very lackluster game with some serious design flaws. It's no "hidden gem" as zoomers like yap about these days. I'm convinced that the people who say it's a masterpiece haven't played in since it came out and only have a vague memory of it being "resident evil with dinosaurs", which sounds cool but the game doesn't deliver.

The Alf Christmas episode is literally kino and insanely sad and tragic. I remember watching it as a kid and liking it. I watched it recently and holy fuck it made me cry a tiny bit. It's like the saddest show or movie I've ever seen. Can't believe they aired it. But I do recommend it.

Also, there's some Alf movie they made in the mid 90s and it's not bad. Worth watching if you want some comfy 90s tv

Mostly the dissociative nonsense cartoon logic of knowing what items to use on what which was everywhere in gaming at the time mostly in point & click adventure games.
