You might get a dollar for it.
 

Haha no...I bought a CIB with poster. Still not too desireable but worth a bit. I'll still lose money though but unless I get into this I just can't see myself wanting to play again after this week.

You might want to at least keep the poster.

Maybe this is one of those games that starts rough and improves as you get more upgrades.

The level difficulties are off. The water level should be first as it is WAY easier than the air level. Actually I think the air stage may be the hardest of the elemental stages due to the damn eagles that are hard to avoid and the tornadoes that push you around. The yellow cloud guys suck too. 

The worst are the tiny demons. They more often than not will instantly kill you. If they touch your head,you can pretty much kiss that life goodbye.

The graphics and music are pretty decent. Unfortunately the combat and platforming aspects are garbage. Oh well, you can't win them all.

RARE would go on to better things.

The air stage should definitely not have been the first one. The good news is once you get past it,no more bouncing platform cloud thingies. The platforming becomes a lot better. The combat aspect of it does get better as well but not as much as it should. Getting the diamond sword in the forest stage helps out tremendously.

The game really needed a more satisfying and effective main attack. Jumping at enemies hoping to kill them or standing there shaking your sword is kind of lame. It also doesn't help that the game begins with a frustrating climbing section while you're being pelted with a bunch of cheap hits.

Interesting side note, this game seems like it was developed literally by 2 or 3 people(1 of which did the music).

I played this a lot as a kid, even beat it at some point. I like to think I'll do decent this week, but I remember dying a LOT before, so who knows.

The air stage definitely shouldn't have been first as it can definitely give many players a bad first impression. Probably should've gone water,fire,earth,wind although the earth stage has more hard hitting enemies.

Fabio is the best. THE best.
He was definitely a source of inspiration during my teen years.

I don't even know what to do, this game makes no sense, swinging your sword does nothing, and birds

The combat in this game isn't very good. I discovered that you can kill things with your sword by jumping at them.

20,217 - Level 1 - Clouds
(with helmet, right before the Wind Power weapon chest (though without key...))



When we played the first one last time around, my main thought was "wow, 700+ games in the library... why this one?". That thought came rushing back immediately. The thing about these games is that you can tell there's something great here, it's just a matter of the steep learning curve and learning to accept the flawed attack mechanisms.

The special wind attack really helps, and hopefully getting the sword later on will help as well (at least at the surface, it feels like Frankenstein: The Monster Returns, whereas until you get that sword, the game feels unfair...)

After a quick sample run I know I can get to the clouds easily enough, so at least I can count on participation   Beyond that, though, not incredibly optimistic.

To get your participation points, you have to get the giant egg that is on a platform on the far right. You have to drop down to it from above. And then go to the far left and keep climbing up platforms until you reach the bird who flies you to the cloud area. Then pause during the death animation when you lose your last life and take a picture.

For everyone not too familiar with this game,I recommend the following: Learn the key places you need to go to and avoid rather than kill enemies. Even before it was low score,I still avoided killing most enemies. It's easier to just avoid them. (usually)

This game reminds me a lot of Simon's Quest in the fact that once you figure out where you need to go the game is actually really short.
