This game sounds great. I'll probably never play it, though. Also: when did you live in Japan?

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

It was during the late 1980s to late 90s. I still remember the day I moved, because it was on Christmas morning of 1997.

Edit: Thanks for reading!

Another good review. I think the mention of the fairies could be improved, since it seems sort of thrown in almost at random, but otherwise good stuff. I've never played a Parodius, but these reviews are making me want to.

Appreciate the read, Sam!

The problem with writing this many Gradius/Parodius reviews in a row at this point in time is not so much talking about the game, but talking about the game and making it sound fresh compared to the 9 or so games that were discussed before it. What I attempted to do here was try to spread as much of the content all over the review without trying to make it sound segmented.

You're right in thinking that was a pretty random place to throw the mention, but, even though I liked this side-questy, fetch-questy aspect, I didn't believe it deserved more than that one major sentence. You pretty much know all about it in that passing. That's why I did it that way.
