Finished tonight: another present, "Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn"
The reviews online are bizarre, they say it was the hardest thing on the planet and nearly killed the franchise, but mostly it wasn't that hard at all. The plot this time around was stupid but the maps were maybe the best of the series.

Next up: CASTLEQUEST for NES
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlequest
Apparently some sort of thing in the "Legacy of the Wizard" style, with roots on the MS-X. Found a copy cheap on Ebay, sooooo.

Was also thinking of picking up that new "Street Fighter" collection, but word has it that it's imperfect, and I'm not buying another SF game unless it's a perfect arcade port. I've got enough miscellaneous console adaptations.

I'm still waiting for my Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Switch code... so that will be next for me.

I was also able to sneak in a few minutes of Breath of the Wild the other day, if the stars align again I might play it tomorrow too.

I just got mine here, played it for a little bit till I got bull-rushed off a bridge by frogs ::meev::
I didn't like the "Castlevania jump" in Castlevania 1 and I don't like it here either. But it looks so far like they got the game pretty much right.

EDIT: played a bit more and you don't even have to deal with the frogs XD
Are you taking the most direct path at all times?

Every game worth playing makes you draw your own map XD

I want to play Snatcher and Policenauts again. I wish they'd release those on the current systems so I don't have to go through the effort of using an emulator.

You should email Fangamer and be an irate customer if you haven't already ::foot::

I did that last week, sadly never heard back.

I've heard other people in the region are being compensated with Steam codes, but that isn't much use to me as I don't have a PC...

Have you tried PMing the project on Kickstarter? I got support that way once for a different project.

I assume they've just been inundated with the recent launch of the Dark Souls merchandise line, I might send them another email today and hope I hear back from them. Looks like a storm is rolling in over the weekend so it would be fun to play.

Edit - Received a reply from them just after I posted this, weird.

So did you get the new beta today or is that too much to hope for? XD
