Game Number One: Fire Striker
System: Super Nintendo
Genre: Action/Puzzle
Publisher: DTMC Inc.
"Once upon a time, there were four kingdoms in close proximity to each other, each ruled by four constantly warring factions. One day, the Arch-Mage Wylde came up with a solution to the non-stop fighting. Whoever could control the magical orb known as the Trialight would become the FireStriker, as well as the ruler of all four kingdoms. What the people didn't know was that Wylde had an ulterior motive, and he used this proposition making it easier for him to destroy all four kingdoms at once. It's up to you, as Slader, the last FireStriker, to risk everything and destroy Wylde and his clan of evil monsters. The fate of the many empires is a heavy burden to bear, but you've got the skills to succeed. The only question is, will you?"
Fire striker is in all sense; pure gaming bliss.
It's essentially what would happen if you took a game like secret of mana and combined it with arkanoid.
The game is combatable for two players if you want it to be.
One controls the Red Knight and one controls a tiny blue wizard.
If need be in one player however, a single players can control the wizard with the L and R buttons on the controller.
If you havent played this game by now - you should.
Game Number Two: Sword Master
System: NES
Genre: Action/Adventure
Publisher: (Data East?)
Sword master is a classic. From the cinematic (For it's time) opening to the ending. Sword master is one of those (Few) fun NES games that breaks the killing trend. Like The legend of zelda II you scroll through each area at a decent pace killing what stands in your path. But that isn't what Sword Master is about. Sword master (Again, much like the second zelda game) gives you a shield.
The game isn't about killing everyhting in your path so much as
going toe-to-toe with each enemy attacking and defending at the right time.
Each enemy encounter in Sword Master is like a boss fight unto itself (with the exception of the minor, one-hit-kill enemies like the bats and wolves). When you meet a new foe, you must learn how best to deal with it. Just barely getting by will not cut it, since you may have to fight the same enemy twice in one stage, or something worse might come after it. This is the kind of game where the main boss of a stage becomes a mini-boss in the very next. Much of the challenge of these bosses comes from intimidation. When you approach a new boss, you won't know what to do. You'll either hesitate in trying to think of a plan or rush right in. Either way, you'll probably get clobbered, especially against the tougher guys. Once you know exactly how close you need to jump toward an enemy, and how best to defend or evade its attacks, it's a matter of just being really aggressive.
Game Three: Kendo Rage
System: SNES
Genre: Action/Platformer
Publisher: SETA USA Inc.
Developer: Seta Corporation
Story:
Jo is about to embark on the world's strangest summer vacation. She is really interested in kendo, Japanese fencing, and her parents have sent her to Japan to study with Osaki. In addition to being a kendo master, he also looks like a green-haired cyberpunk. Things only get stranger when he gives Jo a talisman that will transform her into a superhero from the ‘70s. Do battle in seven rounds of 360-degree swordplay. When the time is right, you can unleash a power-up attack for extra damage.
What to say about this game. Kendo rage is possibly one of the best games for SNES i have ever played. It somewhat reminds me of VALIS to a certain medium. The rate at wich you blaze through level hacking through each cute enemy you face.
The game has an interesting goal though, You aren't supposed to use powerups. Well nto when you get them. They use precious life (I mean it. This game is pretty difficult)
But you need to save them - For shotoing beams of energy from your sword to changing into a superhero from the 70's
Another thing is - you can't use the same tactic twice.
One time your sword could be long, the next it's like a butterknife but it shoots energy.
Kendo rage is a must play for any hardcore fanatic
