Yo narox, maybe you could help me out here. I was looking for this side scroller on SNES that had a samurai go though these long levels. His main weapon was some kind of long weapon, and the enemies were these mystic demons and goblins. Any ideas?
Funny that you mentioned that! When I picked up Mystic Defender, I also picked up Last Battle at the same time!
Last Battle is one of my least favourite games. I hated the repetative stages but enjoyed the boss battles. Although the gameplay is monotonous, I found the sprite designs of the bosses very well done!
Last Battle not the greatest game in the world but i had fun playing it years ago and little did i know then i was playing a "Fist of The NorthStar" game cool stuff lol.
i am glad to hear that you enjoyed the game as much as I! I remember spending months on end figuring out how to pass the lava stage. When it got too frustrating the cartridge out and popped in Golden Axe! =P
Yee ha-a-a! Mystic Defender! For some strage reason it is one of my favourite 2D platformers! I remember picking up this game in the summer of 1990 or 91' and just playing the first two stages. I put the game down as soon as I saw the green blobs and dancing babies. How weird is that! Once you get to stage 3 and learn to utlilize the different assortment of weapons at your disposal do you truly enjoy this game! Some will dislike this game. I don't!
Oh it is good! The one thing I loved doing is using that flame thrower weapon and directing it towards the enemy! The joy of this game is determining which weapon to use during a certain part within a level! At the time, alot of reviewers dismissed the game as just a regular platformer! It was not ground breaking but in my humble opinion it was a very fun challenging game.
Best ost ever.. stage 1 and boss bgm stick with me til this day

Yeah, when I first saw the image for this, it reminded me of Spellcaster. Never knew Spellcaster had a sequel :)

I am glad you are discovering these games. There are some nifty games in the early 1990s. :)

I love the look of this title. Very retro. I find it quite challenging, and I love it. =)

Excellent game with very appealing graphics. It does get very challenging at times though. Took me a long time to beat it.
