E.V.O. is the first SNES title on the list that i'm completely unfamiliar with. just guessing from the title and description, do you gradually evolve depending on what kind of stuff you eat?

i loved the different US regions and the "amusing" character quotes between races, game is perfectly balanced imo

i have very strong memories in my mind of playing raod rash 2 on the genesis with my friend. the two of us trying to beat the single playr game. sometimes you'd go up over a hill and as you came down, you'd hit a car that you couldn't see. now that i'm a "video game professional" or whatever i still think of thaat as the example of bad game design when i close my eyes.
also every time it happened my friend david would yell "THAT WAS A SET-UP!" which i find really funny to this day, because i think it's the only example i can think of of someone calling a non-frame-job a "set up"
i will have a lot of these fun little stories over the course of this rollout

you fight and eat stuff to get xp, use xp to evolve cool new parts of your body (stronger skin, claws, an angler fish light on your head, etc) and eventually you evolve legs and start all over as an amphibian! and then later you evolve... reptilenesss and start all over as a reptile!!!

I've tried playing through this on an emulator, but the combat seemed like a slog. Great atmosphere, though.

i also bought evermore on ebay years later intending to play it at some point, but i was never able to figure out how to play it right. i'll have to go back one day, the tim rogers love affair with it pretty much sold me.

I very nearly beat Secret of Evermore back in the day, but my younger brother OVERWROTE MY SAVE FILE as he hastily, thoughtlessly saved his own and I haven't played it since. I am still traumatized. Great game though!

^ SUCH a good game. played through a fan translation on an emulator and again when it came out officially on DS. so great. and the shop menu music is the chillest of all time.

― a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 4 October 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link
Wait, the box says the cyborg is the newcomer. So this game-series created new fighters, and thought of a kangaroo before they thought of a cyborg?

protip for SOR3: if you avoid killing the kangaroo when you get to him (and just take out his trainer) you can play as him

ActRaiser haunts me to this day, because I never played it. so many times at movie gallery, deciding which game to rent, always starting in alphabetical order. ActRaiser always caught my eye, every single time, and I'd look at the back of the box, almost decide to give it a try, then pass.
