Useless fact: The original Dark Alliance was never ported to PC but publisher Interplay did make some very preliminary enquiries about a potential PC port with a fledgling Polish studio named CD Projekt. Why should I care? The loot treadmill RPG sub-genre is not one I've kept up with, nor one I have a particular taste for, so I cannot tell you whether this particular game holds up against modern games of its ilk, but I can say Snowblind's oeuvre, which included Champions of Norrah and Lord of the Rings: War of the North, among a few other titles, were the frontrunners of the sub-genre on the consoles of their day, and I suspect their appeal is somewhat future-proof. (This reissue, announced mere hours ago, seems to be an extremely simple port with local-only co-op and no additions or enhancements save for widescreen/4K support PC and mobile versions are also scheduled for later this summer.)
#Rastan arcade ost series
While the core series was handled by Bioware, the first game in this sub-series was handled by Snowblind Studios and set itself apart from its PC forebears via its adoption of polygonal 3D graphics and a fully real-time combat system that places it squarely in the Diablo realm. What's this? The first console-centric entry in Interplay's Baldur's Gate series of D&D-rooted RPGs, originally released in 2001 for PlayStation 2 and subsequently ported to Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube. Publisher: Interplay / Black Isle Studios.Platform: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4+5, Xbox (worldwide).Useless fact: I got nothin', and I suspect I won't have anything for the dozen more of these games that are undoubtedly coming, but I'll try. Why should I care? If G-MODE would just give me a minute to play these games, I'd tell ya! What's this? The third entry in a long-running series of detective adventure games centered around a game developer working as assistant to a detective agency, developed and published by And-Joy and Genki for Japanese feature phones from the early '00s in this volume, the mystery is centered in ominous, cult-like letters being sent to the receptionist at the "Shangri-la" amusement park, with the park owner hoping to settle the case without involving the authorities. Tantei Kibukawa Ryousuke Jiken-dan Vol.3: Shisha no Rakuen Useless fact: At a glance, The Astyanax might strike one as more Rastan-esque than the actual sequel to Taito's Rastan, and that thought wouldn't be unfounded: OG Rastan director/artist Toshiyuki "Nenko" Nishimura also handled graphics and game design for this game, while a completely different team at Taito was making the thoroughly underwhelming Rastan Saga II. (The game also takes a hard turn into H.R.Giger territory in the final stage, which would be a spoiler if not for the fact that it's a Japanese arcade game from the late '80s.) Why should I care? You missed out on one of the stronger games released during the short-lived era of Conan-likes, or you enjoyed the NES version and want to compare it to its vastly more macho big brother. What's this? A side-scrolling, sword-and-sorcery action game for one or two players, developed by Aicom and distributed in arcades in 1989, with a loose follow-up released for NES the following year the game's most distinct mechanical feature is a charge gauge that lights your axe on fire if you go without swinging for a second or two, forcing the player to trade off between rapid swings or single, powerful strikes (a system that would be refined by Aicom's Turbografx-16 title The Legendary Axe). Who knew Interplay still had it in 'em to do, like, anything?
