Catching up on past ROTW still. This week had two very unlikely submissions. While everyone is still chatting about Elden Ring and the like, we got an N64 game and a lesser-known portable RPG--one I've either never hard of or forgot existed.

Thanks for getting to this topic, Joe, and for your work catching up on the others! You're a superstar! Also, congratulations to dagoss on a terrific review! And to dementedhut, for doing a great job covering a Rare classic. I've never been big on Blast Corps, but I bet I'd like it more now than I did back when it was new and the main thing I wanted from Rare was more stuff like Banjo-Kazooie. ;-)

Thank you! I hope to take care of the final one tomorrow night, assuming I'm not stuck at work again. I hope to put that and the rough draft for my Aggelos review to rest.

Thanks for the comments. Blast Corps was one of Rare's games I was most curious about about playing for a long time and I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it. I think it partly has to do with the fact that, when the N64 was ready to launch, it was one of the first games I saw in preview sections in magazines. Just sounded like a neat concept at the time. As for the segues line, I dunno. I think it sounds fine to me, but I could be wrong. Anyway, thanks!

That's a lot of percentage of SaGa for a game without SaGa in the title.

I liked Legend of Legacy well enough, and remember it fondly overall (even though I didn't rate it quite as highly as you did, dagoss). That's when I recall it was Legend of Legacy that I played, not The Alliance Alive. For some reason, those two titles have a hard time standing apart in my mind, even though I put in a lot of time with one and no time at all with the other. Maybe it's because they came from (I think) the same development team and publisher in Japan, and then certainly both were published first by Atlus when they made the journey west.

Alliance Alive is indeed the same team. It was very much a reaction to the feedback and reviews for Legend of Legacy.
