I love playing games & I love beating them too!

Made a promise to myself to tear through my backlog of games to destroy my old habit of buying a ton of games and not playing em!

I always post reviews on what I finish; my star ratings don't ultimately matter in the grand scheme of things.

(Played Wiredcrackpot's recently released retranslation patch for the Saturn original)

This was an amazing translation, I genuinely didn't think it'd ever happen, but I'm so glad it did. The story is still pretty nuts but it feels so good to actually experience the proper personalities of the characters and the comedic timing of jokes on-screen. I loved this game so much already, but this retranslation patch is most certainly the best way to play it now.

The patch's existence makes Working Designs' handling of the script all the more apparent. While I do appreciate them bringing the game to the West back then, they really messed with character personalities, adding forced jokes that were never there, and scrubbing of biblical allegories that the original script had.

If you're interested in checking Silhouette Mirage out, I implore you to played Wiredcrackpot's retranslation patch. The game takes a bit to learn but you will not regret it.

Congo Bongo was pretty neat to play. It's SEGA's take on Donkey Kong with it's own bit of flair to differentiate it, mainly with the isometric perspective and control.

Its not one of the best arcade games I've played, there's better games out there, but this was a neat little game to mess with for a bit. May go back to it to see how far I get.

If I could give a game zero stars on this website this would be it. It's hard for me to say that Alex Kidd is "a product of it's time" when it dropped in the mid 80s and there was already more than plenty of decent stuff by then.

Levels are a disorganized mess, Alex controls like he's wearing butter shoes to the point where its actually really fucking hard to have any degree of precision with him, one hit kills with nothing at all to remedy it, ontop of RNG being in blocks and the Janken matches you're faced with throughout the game.

How this game was a success and spawned a franchise is beyond me. It definitely has it's place in SEGA's history but it's no shock to me as to why they dropped Alex after Sonic came into the picture.

Whenever I think of SEGA games, there's a bit of a loop to most of them that makes you want to replay it. Either just getting better for higher ranks, or having a ton of fun. Alex Kidd severely lacks that appeal for me alongside the issues it has as a game that has aged poorly.

Genuinely, not worth your time.
