Schlitty Completes Games in 2020

I didn’t beat it, but I played through most of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. So it goes in the thread. Deal with it. It’s a remaster of a Master System game that stays true to the original gameplay. It just got too obtuse at the end and I had to consult a guide to figure out how to get to the end level (I missed a secret weapon that allows you in). Then when I got to the end boss I got pounded into oblivion. And according to guides, it sounds like I needed a bunch more secrets to make it doable by a mere mortal. I’m too old for that shit. 10yo me would’ve gladly wasted a month grinding the game and finding all the secrets. Heck, even 20yo me would’ve been okay with just following a guide to finish it off. But old ass me will do neither of those. Great art, great sound, true to the original source, but just getting to the end boss will be enough for me. Uninstalled. Maybe if I had played the original and had some nostalgia to push me over the edge. Either way, I can respect the remaster.
