It's crazy how this game goes from a 2/10 to a 5/10 simply with the removal of projectile collision. RIP to all the Americans who owned this back in the day. It's ambitious in certain aspects and baffling in others.
>>12656351I owned it and beat it as a child. Sorry you suck at challenging games. Protip: Don't upgrade your gun past the spikes. Wow, so hard.
I just beat this a couple weeks ago and I gotta say it really does not deserve to be on any "hidden gem" list
youve seen everything this game has to offer 30 seconds into it. great music though. such a weird game
>>12656626the same could be said of any classic arcade game. it says nothing about its quality.
>>12656351>It's crazy how this game goes from a 2/10 to a 5/10 simply with the removal of projectile collision.No it doesn't. The game is a 7/10 in it's US version and 4/10 in the PAL version. The power downs exist for a reason, so you can switch back to a more appropriate weapon when needed. This is also why romhacks that make projectiles go through walls ALSO get rid of power downs. The game is a casual fest in its PAL/romhack form and would never have been as well regarded and remember in the US had it been released like that, in a period of time when people didn't want casual fests.
>>12656351The European version is still kinda rough, but I also still like it. It's weird and cool. Frustrating, but cool.>>12656496It's by no means an excellent game, but it's by no means an atrocious one either.
>menu hopping, the game

What if Fester was a hot thick bitch instead?
