Finally another update! I started Cthulhu Saves The World right away this Summer, but just finished it tonight. It has been my favorite of the four games I've completed. As a fan of both old school JRPG's and HP Lovecraft, it was pretty amazing to me. And funny! For instance, your first boss battle is against "four heroes" (I assume "of Light") whom are a little tough without early grinding. Later in the game you face them again and kill them in a single hit. Then there's all the great Lovecraftian references like visiting Innsmouth or battling Dagon. It's all so tongue-in-cheek both for fans of 8 (and 16)-bit RPG's and horror fans. The writing is seriously hilarious, and the gameplay is classic. I suggest this highly to... well... everyone here who has an affinity for retro gaming really. If you're into the macabre, then that's just icing on the cake. I've also unlocked some bonus modes that I can re-visit later as a plus.




Other Progress:

Daytona USA - I've gotten first in two out of three of the tracks. Fun stuff, though I'm terrible at racing games, so I'm playing on Easy to make it manageable for myself.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - I'm still stuck on the Riot mission, though I picked up the strategy guide at my local mom-n-pop store recently, so I can get back into it with some help.
