Makes sense. I didn't have many arcades in my area growing up, so I didn't go to one until early teens, when we had Time Crisis and Die Hard Arcade.

There was an arcade cabinet of this?
I see why maybe some of the game's problems are here then lol
I wonder if the game is also just unbalanced if you play solo.
I know a couple of other beat'em ups had that problem, like Battletoads/Double Dragon.

A part of stage 2 had me flying in this mini aircraft, and it would spawn an enemy or two roughly every 30 seconds, even if I killed the previous enemies very quickly
The section lasted around 6 mins with a mini boss fight with a Sentinel.
No game over screen, just a screen freeze with music playing

Was 3 your 1st one?
I started and stopped at 1 until the Cyber Sleuth games.
I was a kid, so I didn't like the game cause all my Digimon would do was eat and poop everywhere instead of winning battles 😂

They upgraded the battle system from 2 so you get all these menu options now.
I understand bringing back the gym for training from 1, but what I don't understand is the need for a weapon/armor shop in a Digimon game🤔

I'll figure it out in a playthrough in the future

You get to choose 3 starter packs this time, which gives you certain Digimon. I chose C because getting Guilmon and Kumamon as a starter seemed different.

Definitely different from Digimon World 1 where you set off on foot while this one, it's a dungeon crawler (At least atm).
The music is pretty decent so far too.
At some point, I'll do a full playthrough of this 😊

A little easter egg lore in the alt text

Right index finger only. I'm a finger pecker until the end 😤

Model, king, a very gross man, a native American, a heart breaker, dentist, and that's all my mind can think of at the moment but I know there is alot more gimmicks.

Thank you! It's getting a bit better everyday. 🙂

I attempt to play the last save but after about 30 mins, I realize that I have no clue so time to restart.
I've done that twice to both Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 😭
Maybe I'll try one of those again after I beat FFXIV.
Third time's a charm, right? RIGHT? 😭

Happy Tuesday!

Thank you! I've slowly been getting better.
I've had back problems in the past, so I know how bad it can get. 😣

I just happened to see that you were struggling on Z, so I gotchu. 😂

It's definitely worth looking at or listening to. I assumed the game was bad for so long due to the early internet. Once I watched gameplay, the only thing that seemed off was the English translation.

Z: Zero Wing

The legend itself of bad translation that was made onto an early meme.
It's a decent looking shump with a good ost.
I've only watched the full gameplay cause I don't want to open my sealed copy of the re-released version that came out a few years ago to play it on my Genesis 😅

My friends and I usually make a bingo card for the game awards and summer game fest.
Put silly things on there like "Kojima appearance that lasts 10+ mins" and such. It's more fun that way than taking it seriously.
