Its unbelieveable. The game is broken beyond repair. It was being marked for .99 when I saw it at GamesPlus 4 years ago that right there should have been a red flag.Quote:

Never heard of this game. At first, I thought this was just some sort of Lance Armstrong, fallen hero post:)
Well the good news is you can clear it in under 7 minutes:

Eh, I liked Hydlide well enough, and it certainly wasn't broken. I beat it around the same time that I beat Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy for the first time, and I enjoyed it for what it was: a quirky little game that, though somewhat outdated by the time it was released in the US, had its charm. It wasn't trying to be DW or FF, any more than Super Hydlide was trying to be Phantasy Star or Ys: The Vanished Omens. It had its own thing going.
I can understand not liking it -- different strokes, etc. -- but when people go on about how it was the worst RPG ever and totally unplayable blah blah blah, I can't help but roll my eyes. I had no trouble figuring it out, and I was barely into my teens.
BTW a 32X version of Big Rigs would be a thing of beauty. I'm grateful to that game for teaching me how to save a lot of time on my morning commute; as long as I do the whole thing in reverse, I can get there in a jiff.
I don't really care for it myself, but Hydlide isn't broken it's just very archaic. It was one of the first attempts at the RPG genre by a Japanese developer and you really have to look at it in that context to appreciate it.
The NES port was horrendous. The 1985 NEC PC88 version actually was one of the finest mid 80s Japanese PC releases you could ever see.Quote:

The problem was that the port came in 1988 in Japan and in 1989 in US. 2 FULL years after Zelda hit the big time. The fact that it felt half-assed and cheaply made turned off alot of gamers.Quote:

And yes, it was made by the same people behind Heroes of The Lance.
It is really funny how this guy can fly right past the mods with spam spam spam and then a couple of meaningless posts.Quote:
