And the mystery game I promised is here! A Longplay SeaQuest DSV! This game is good, but playing it all in one day felt very much like a chore since it took me the whole Saturday to do. And I swear I encounted a bug you can find towards the end where one of the enemy subs just decides to surface instead of engaging in combat! Weird and hilarious. I don't have much more than that to say about it. The final boss is a walking piece of bs though. I took one look at the insane bombardment and immediately concoted a plan to cheese him. Looks like a nightmare to try and beat in any 'legit' sense of the word. After all it's faster, a lot more durable than anything you have, and more firepower that you could put out, and it can traverse the sea in all directions. The game also has certain " Gotcha! " traps that feel pretty cheap. Placing cannons right in the path you are most likely to travel in. Having to continually go back and forth to switch tool for the job at hand became very tiresome. While they state in interviews they were inspired by the Lost Vikings, well, that game did it better. Even though it seems like I've done nothing but complaining here, I did enjoy my time with it and I wholeheartedly recommend it! I never tire of hearing the SeaQuest theme unlike the TNG tunes of Echoes of Future Past. SeaQuest DSV is also a true case of both versions of the game has it's pros and cons just like RoboCop vs The Terminator so you can't go wrong picking either one! = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = There's a great read to be had over at Hardcoregaming101 ;
I highly recommend checking out the review of this game by the good old 16-bit gems ;

And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came. " - John F.
