Ren, you should really learn more about retro stuff.

La-Mulana is an MSX adventure game somewhat a cross between Indiana Jones and… Umm, castlevania. 'cos you start with a whip.

And what do you mean either of the games I listed? What was the other one you've never heard of?

P.S: I just realised that the title here has weird capitalization, and yet it looks like David split it… Weird.

I though God of war came out after Sands of Time and both were developed completely separate from each other.

But I could be wrong.

Oh wait sorry I misread what you said somehow, I took it that "Deceased Crab" was another game, when in fact it must be someone's screen name.

I bet I could name a lot of good retro games you've never heard of. =/

The games I played back in those days were Escape From Monkey Island, Syndicate, Moonstone, Bomberman, Sim City, Aliens, Alien Breed, James Pond 2, Rick Dangerous, The Chaos Engine, Zool, Rainbow Islands, Ugh, Another World, IK+, Settlers, Cannon Fodder, Curse Of Enchantia, Double Dragon 3, Flashback, Lemmings, Sensible World Of Soccer, Heimdall, Wizkid, some game where you're a karate master, some game where you're a dragon, and some game where you're a kid who throws oranges.

I've bolded all the games in this list that I've heard of. And italicized all the ones that I might've heard somewhere but don't actually know anything about. And that karate game wouldn't be Karate Kid, would it?

Who doesn't know about Sim City? It was on, like, every Mac in every school computer in existence in the pre-OS X days

Now, what about DinoPark Tycoon, Word Munchers, or Amazon Trail?

Finally another 2D fighting game coming over to PS2 from Japan...kick ass indeed.

MAYBE. Did you start off in some kind of weird warehouse thing (can't really remember) and you had to climb down off this ledge or something and you were in a park fighting baddies on the paths? Or something...

IK+ is better.

IK+?

Huh, not Karate Kid then. That was a stupid thing to say, actually.

IK+ is an older fighting game that's 2D and kinda in the form of mortal combat only there's no special kicks or anything, just normal martial arts punches and kicks, and at times there'd be 3 different fighters on the same screen so you'd have a 3-way fight going on. It was awesome.

I was going to say something about how you can't really say IK+ is better than Arcana Heart if you've never played it...but to each his own I suppose.
I mean IK+ looks cool, and I'm not judging it since I haven't played it, but the number of animations in games like Guilty Gear and Arcana Heart are awesome.
...Er...this IK+ right?

Yep! That one! =D

And I don't mean to be ignorant about it, I can't really say it is better since I haven't actually played, but I just wanted to mention IK+ so people would recognise it. >_>
