I actually checked it out based on your request, Chris, so thank you for recommending it! ❤️

The first time I ran into a ninja I was like... wow talk about a difficulty spike!

Hi there Chairman Meow! One of my goals with this NES Abridged series was to sometimes talk about games I don't see discussed much! Have you ever heard of a game called Phantom Fighter? If not, I did a video on that one, too! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n81olqZ807mZlGg.html

It is pretty fun!

Oh man, I remember there used to be a Record of Lodoss War cartoon that would come on TV sometimes. I thought it was AWESOME!

Hell ya! I remember the first time I saw real anime. It woulda been 1988-1989, and I would have been around 9. I was sick with bronchitis so my parents built a big fire in the wood stove and had me sleep on the living room couch. It was like 3 am, and I felt like shit and couldnt sleep. The living room tv was the one with cable (oldschool cable with the box - woo 32 whole channels even!) so I was flipping thru channels. And on some weird random channel there was Vampire Hunter D. I just stared open mouthed, completely entranced. Blew my mind so much that memory is crystal clear 30 odd years later. It was so rare and hard to find real anime back in the 80s and early 90s. I vaguely knew what it was, since my aunt taught in Japan for half the year and would bring me Japanese kids toys and media (I actually played a real Famicom back then, my cousins had one). But this is the first time I had seen real adult anime dubbed in English. Fast forward and Im 16. My now-husband, then best friends dad owned a used book store. And someone sold the VHS box set of Record of Lodoss War to his dads store. His dad let us borrow and watch it. And I actually talked my parents into letting me take their vcr over to his house so we could make our own copies of the tapes before bringing them back to the store. They were like gold to us. We still have those tapes, lol. At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, the anime was just better when only the best stuff got exported. Nowadays its just super saturated. I also dont like the general style anymore. I prefer the 80s style where the faces werent so angular and stylized, and they didnt do that constant "emoji cutaway" (dont know the technical term) where all the sudden theres an image with extremely exaggerated art and emoticons. Anyway, rant over!

When you're finally able to play it I think you're in for a nice and cozy experience!

I'll have to check out Rolan's Curse! Thanks for checking out my thoughts on Arkista's Ring! 😊

@MotherKojiro beat me to it. Visually Rolan's Curse all the way. Oddly enough, the game boy Rolan's Curse seems to have more detailed graphics than this game.

Give it a shot! It can make for a fun afternoon!

I hope you enjoy it when you have the opportunity to check it out, Mako!

It's an enjoyable playthrough, I hope you have fun with it!

Having multiple characters would have been really cool!

Thanks Mr Buckets! Hopefully you don't run into any ninjas today 😆

I hope you give it a shot! Arkista's Ring is a nice, relaxing, chill out kinda game!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thanks for the kind words and for checking out my thoughts on Arkista's Ring, Golvellius! 😊

@@quwebs thank you for bringing back memories... 😊
