Yep. Lunar: Silver Star on Sega CD was (and still is) one of my prized possessions - alongside Eternal Blue, Dark Wizard, and Shining Force CD. I remember finding it in Blockbuster, renting it, playing it almost nonstop over a weekend, and then the next time I was able to get a new game, I specifically hunted Lunar down. One of my favorite memories of that era of video games, and of the Sega CD in general.

I remember getting Lunar: The Silver Star Story Complete and Star Ocean 2 for my birthday. I was really really looking forward to Star Ocean 2, having seen its high scores in gaming magazines. I popped it in, and really liked it. About 5 hours into the game, I decided to give Lunar a shot. I couldn't put it down. I played it nonstop and beat it in 3 days, and it was my favorite game of all time for a long time. It took me years before I finally completed Star Ocean 2. Which, don't get me wrong, is a good game, and I'm happy the latest remake is successful. But for me at least, it didn't hold a candle to Lunar. :)

As someone who owns Silver Star Story Complete, Legend, and Silver Star Harmony, I'd say the PS1 version is the way to go, especially if you like a bit more challenge; the GBA and PSP games add an "Arts Meter" (basically a gauge that charges every time you take an action, when it's full you can unleash a super attack) that makes the games ridiculously easy. Legend isn't bad but since it's GBA it's obviously going to be technologically inferior to the PS1 version (though it does have cute character sprites) Silver Star Harmony is basically the same game as SSSC but it adds a cutscene to the beginning that pretty much spoils what was already a fairly obvious plot twist; more importantly, it has TERRIBLE lag issues to the point where I don't think I even finished it.

Jim Power uses a documented visual phenomenon called the Pulfrich effect to generate a 3D effect: objects have to be in constant lateral motion (ie. moving left or right) and you have to wear a darkened filter over one eye (hence the included glasses) for it to work. It was also used for Children in Need in 1993, famously including a short Doctor Who story called Dimensions in Time, which has gone down in history as one of the worst, most utterly incomprehensible episodes of the series. The Pulfrich effect is highly impractical to use and it's little wonder nobody has tried it ever again: the almost constant movement of the screen gets extremely nauseating after a while and the direction an object is travelling will actively determine whether it seems further back or closer towards you, making it extremely difficult to control effectively in an interactive environment.

Hey! I'm one of the people behind LunarNET - been waiting for you to get to this date! Some other interesting things about Lunar TSS... Working Designs actually hired some local theater actors in Redding for various voice acting roles, so the acting was a bit better than average for the time -- though the Japanese version had major star power like Kikuko Inoue. The outlier was Ashley Angel (as he was credited in Lunar and later when in O-Town). Also weirdly the different Sega CD covers have different rarity, but that level of detail doesn't affect the price as you noted. As for which you should play first... Since you're pretty comfortable with retro games, I recommend going with the original Sega CD first. That gives more appreciation for the expanded story in the Playstation version (even though personally I like the Sega CD one more). You can pass on the GBA and PSP versions for now, though they're good in their own right.

Rollerball on the MSX was legit my first video game. Played it back in 1990, at four years old

I think the Jim Power thing is the same 3d technique used in the cartoon: Bots Master. Anyone else remember that show? Lazer time boyz!

Treasureland was the first game I ever beat, and I've been hooked on games ever since.

I adore the Lunar games! I've only ever played the Ps1 Complete versions but they're still great to this day! The voice acting is so bad it's good (I genuinely love it) and at the very end of both games there's a bonus of VA outtakes that my friends and I still quote to each other to this day!! I would be so hyped to see you play them!!

Julie Bell is an American fine artist, illustrator, photographer, bodybuilder and wildlife painter. Wait... body builder and artist? I was born a little too late for this dream of a woman.

We’re only a month away from 1994, which OGs know is a fucking PEAK for gaming.

I got the PS1 version of Lunar Silver Star Story Complete on a whim. I had just come back from an optometrist appointment, and my mom took me to Media Play. Despite the fact that my eyes were dilated and it was hard to see, I knew I had to have it after squinting at the back cover of the game. Lunar was the second game I had gotten that was localized by Working Designs (the first being Dragon Force on the Saturn), and it quickly made me a fan of their work.

Kirby in that commercial was uncanny valley before we knew he was always looking.

Something weird to me about Ashley being brought up in this video is that he appeared in the last episode of The Masked Singer as the S'more. There were even gaming consoles in his clue packages, likely referring to his role as Alex Noa. And if you haven't seen the show yet, you probably should. At least, if you like surreal singing competitions between celebrities.

The extra time spent on the Beauty and the Beast games was great. I think the Jared and Dylan should have equal air time.

I had Lunar when it was ported to the Playstation. I remember being pissed because the box art didnt show the gameplay, just the anime artwork, so I was surprised that it was a traditional top-down older RPG. I got into it and loved it but for the price, size of the box and book, I figured it would have been something with modern graphics. Back then I never saw much about it, other than the anime cut-screens so I went into it blind. Couldnt return opened video games so I got stuck with it.
