| + | * Tuxedo: I legit like Moonwalker.\\ As a kid my cousin had this, //[[game:sonic_the_hedgehog|Sonic]]//, and a ton of other games and I basically played //Moonwalker// as much as every other game combined.\\ I can't say I like the arcade version as much, it's more polished but there are way less dumb neat little touches, and isometric action w/ 8 direction movement/attacking cannot be anything but awkward. Charge attacks matter, and charge attacks are no fun. | ||
| * kiken: [[company:Sega]] could have ported the arcade game respectably to the MD/Genesis... yeah, it would have been toned down aurally and visually, but I think the heart of the game could have been preserved. Plus, the arcade game supports multiple simultaneous players.\\ My opinion of the home port of //MJ's Moonwalker// has and always will be: disappointing. | * kiken: [[company:Sega]] could have ported the arcade game respectably to the MD/Genesis... yeah, it would have been toned down aurally and visually, but I think the heart of the game could have been preserved.

| + | * Texican Rude: I really enjoyed //Shining Force I// because it was sort of [[genre:srpg|SRPG]] lite. The worst part of any SRPG for me is all the meta-gaming you have to do. Delay the battle to level up your guys more (particularly your healer.) Balance a dozen character's equipment. //SF1// is simple enough that I could handle the equipment stuff between missions. I also loved that it gets progressively more ridiculous in what you're doing. The world goes from whatever-fantasy to anything goes you get a super fast wolfman to help you with the stage involving a super laser. You get a baby dragon that could be super powerful, but takes a whole lot of work to make him that way.\\ I can understand why SRPG fans might hate it, but as someone that would like to enjoy the genre but hates all the between mission stuff, I like it a lot. | ||
