Axelay is a perfect game.
Now now, put down dem pitchforks. I could never say that a game is TRULY perfect. There's always a flaw and there's always improvements to be made. Nothing in life has ever been or ever will be perfect. But to use a loose definition of the word, and to keep in mind the time it was made, Axelay is indeed perfect.
To be honest, the NES never had much of an impact on me.
I mean, yes, I've played some damn good games on it. I can't deny that there's examples of solid gold in the NES library.
So it never occurred to me to do these in weekly installments.
Why? Dunno. Let's fix that.
Wowee zowee! A Sonic game that isn't in the top five!? I know, right? Anyone who's anyone who knows anything about anyone that knows me knows that I love me some fast gameplay. I think the Sonic games have those, right?
Well that's enough with the SNES.
Now to my favourite retro console! The good ol' Genesis.
Love and attention. A team that legitimately cares about the work as an end result. Driven by passion and a vision to make something extraordinairy.
The internet has said enough about this game.
I don't have particular attachment to when or how I played this; it was one of the first ones I played when I had discovered emulator's, and it stuck with me.
I really need to work on this daily thing. So, triple dose for the missed days!
It's a game I've played to death and I love it still. That feel of near-mastery over something, where you're better than a large percentage at it.
There's not many things I can claim to know that feeling, and Contra III is one of those oh-so-few things that I can enjoy in that sense.
