Some games are good. Some games are bad. Some games are Adventurous Boy. Ah, Adventurous Boy, what is there to be said about this classic that hasn't already been said? The graphics are full of color and gameplay has many types of things to do. It is a seminal archetype for many of a genre to follow and respect. We would not have such titles as Dodonpachi DOJ and Touhou 6, without the foundational brilliance of Adventurous Boy. Now, that is not to say Adventurous Boy is a perfect game - in fact, it is far from it. The collision detection is not good? It is not good because if it was good, I would be winning all the time. And the bombs are like, old game bombs, because they do not work right. A good video game should have bombs that make you smart, not bombs that let you be stupid and jock. No stupid and jock in video games. Let's just say,,, Adventurous Boy has not aged well.

But! There is just something magical about Adventurous Boy, you know? It makes me feel things that I cannot describe. They do not make video games like they used to. Do not ask me my opinions about JRPGs or oil tariffs.
