honest review of this release?

I'm playing through it today and will post something after I get farther along. I'll take some additional pictures of what all came with the package also.

[Dungeons and Doomknights for NES]

The $100 package from the Kickstarter is still available from their website. The box art is different and gold cart is shiny and cool looking. I wonder if my Zelda carts were this shiny when they were new. The cloth map is really cool and the material almost feels like faux shoe leather. Pretendo magazine gave me a few laughs and memories of getting my Nintendo Powers in the mail every other month, so that was a surprise walk down memory lane 😁. The COA that's signed is from the Kickstarter so this all must be unsold stock from that tier of the campaign.

@tabitha Are those 10 very limited hand made copies up for sale then? Cool video and website! Can't wait to see what you make next 😁

I remembered you mentioning this and picked it up. Did you get this version of it? It's shiny. And the Nintendo Power type magazine and cloth map are pretty cool with it.

That's sweet! I played this in study hall in high school also 🫣. Is this a finished project then or a wip?

This maybe something to snap up while it lasts.

I didn't realize he has Steins Gate 8-bit now. I like that box he made for it. The TMNT compilation is tempting too. All of them on 1 cart that's just the turtles. That art from the first comic book looks really cool as box art for it. I did ask initially about Pokemon being sealed when I got it, if it's something very limited I should open or not. He indicated he had only made 30 of them and its taken quite awhile to sell through them. 

    I missed the boat with Timewalk Games Zelda boxings of hacked games. Those packages were nice too and are way too expensive to acquire now. Or the ClarkyCreations packages. But I think those were way too expensive to start with and are just crazy now.

what did that cost you

I think around 70 after shipping. He has "Sale" tabs that vary. By the time I got it the price had went up $10.

Also an eBay presence under the same name. Ebay offers less game wise than the actual site, more comicbooks than anything. The FF7 package is very nice. He also carries many multi carts but you have to ask for those, they are not listed.

[NES Pokemon]

Packaged Pokemon with manual and its even factory sealed. Thought I was getting a custom job but this looks anything but. Definitely recommend if anyone wants physical to go with any of their rom hacks.

[What have you been up to lately with your SNES/SFC?]

Picked up a 120 multicart locally after seeing all you guys talking about them. All lots of fun even with a few hacks on it too. I saw others with Donkey Kong Country or Megaman X on them. Too much overlap with what I own on cart already though. This one seemed the most rounded with the RPGs and action games.

last 3 villains

On the Genesis version I've never been able to finish the last couple villains and just seek out the sceptre. Several 100 dragons and giants isn't fun to walk into.

[Reknum is not Zelda]

After looking at many screenshots and reading a few comments I picked this one up. There are a few different homebrew Zelda type adventures out there now to pick from. This one looked promising. It is a serviceable adventure, not for $50 though.

Controls - Feel loose and I had to stick with a boomerang most of the game. Any close combat the hit detection and hit hit boxes are not close to accurate and result in you taking damage in close quarters. You can walk diagonally, great for trying to avoid any encounters that are not at a distance. The loose controls and back and forth between overhead/side scrolling immediately felt like Govellius.

Story- There is a town and some folk that push a bare bones ghost and elf story along. Pretty standard. 

Art - The character art is really nice and some townsfolk are memorable. Everything else looks like it needs to bake a little longer in the art department. 

Length- Not so free open world. Key locked areas. Find a key and move on. Like the Souls in the title, you're trying to free the 4 ghost souls in the world. Well I made it through 3 dungeons and bosses on my first time playing. In 3 hours. Procrastinating the final areas since the game was so much plus shipping to start with. Several lives with respawn nearby and many save spots almost make up for loose controls, but that also makes it very easy and shortens the adventure.

    It's not a bad game. It's not a great game either though. And not for $50 plus shipping.

Roniu's Tale

Very cool puzzler. Reminded me of the Lolo games. Catchy soundtrack, and decent graphics. Still frame cutscenes at the beginning and end that tell a neat little story. And even the ending leaves it open for another game. It adds mechanics and switches up your thinking every couple levels all the way to the end. A password feature was nice for continuing fairly frequently. It never felt overly hard at anytime. Still put in around 12 hours to finish it. 

 

[Roniu's Tale Ending]

Has anyone else beaten this? Do you think the ending implies a possible part 2 storyline or just that Roniu is stuck forever now? Very fun end boss and bittersweet end sequence either way.
