So, I started playing this game, and holy crap, there needs to be more games like this. The classic styled games just really appeal to me, like Cave Story did.

To sum this game up, you're an adventurer who is going to explore some ruins for some reason (not in an AnN way, though). The entire game is a homage to the MSX, so you'll see many many MANY references to it. The graphics look amazing, the music is superb, and it's a freeware game to boot! If you liked Cave Story, you'll like this game too!

I would play it, but I have no idea how to make it run in a window... still, it looks intresting. The manual is pretty indepth too, and it seems like you get to use an MSX!

Hit alt+enter, it's a really common keyboard combination to switch from full/windowed.l

In fact, it works in pretty much everything that supports both modes except dumb emulators that insist on not following the hotkey conventions everything else uses.

But now it runs really slow! Oh wait, pressing F6 causes it to speed up, but makes the graphics blurred... oh well.

Yeah, for some reason, it defaults to software rendering, which causes lag problems for me. i.e., the video lags, so there's like a 1 second delay between the input/audio and when stuff appears on the screen. So I just use F6 blurry mode, which is hardware scaling or something.

Oh right...

Yea, I picked it up about a year ago and put it down. Haven't picked it up since.

Guess it's an acquired taste.

Game runs smoothly for me in software mode, even at full resolution.

This game seems fun. I actually made it into the beginning part of the ruins before I died. I will continue playing this after I pass I Wanna Be The Guy, or when it is around 11:30 at night .

Just got the Ruins Map thing (too lazy to find the actual name.)

Did I mention this game's music is amazing?

Header with random useless information here.
----------------------------
And I am arleady lost. XD

No, It's not that I can't go any further, is that I basically can go in too many directions. I don't want to end up in the final boss room or something like that... (well not that, but you get it)

Anyways this game is awesome, the bats can get on your nerves though, as well as other things such as not having any idea what each rom thing does... Maybe I should read the manual...

Well, I'm in the Temple of Sun (Area 3) and currently unsure where to go next. I was able to find the Knife, Grail, Throwing Knife and Shuriken, plus buy the MSX2. I released the mine cart and pushed it as far as I can. I've beaten the first two bosses as well.

Any hints on where/what to do next?

Honestly, after watching the let's play a while back, I decided against playing it. I'll probably pick it up eventually, probably over the summer, when I have too much time to burn. It looks a tad tedious in some places to play when I have other games left.

Haven't played this in a while. I felt like doing hell Temple but decided not to right now.

Last I remember, I lost to the final boss, but am perfectly capable of beating it.
