What Are You Playing? May 16, 2015

May 16, 2015

Poets have called the 16th of May "just another Saturday," but this weekend, I'll be spending time remembering days gone by. Above, you'll see my recent purchases of The 7th Saga, Actraiser, Super Metroid, and Link to the Past.

Yes, 7th Saga was seriously called "El Nard" in Japan. Change is good.

I noticed that spikes are instant death in the Japanese version of Actraiser. I don't think they were in the North American version. Change is dangerous.
