This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, IDK, I don't think it has enough replay value to be worth playing today. Tunic is good, probably a pretty close analogue of the overall feeling. Some games from the NES era hold up really surprisingly well (Contra, Life Force, Bionic Commando) but more what I was saying about Metal Gear was just that it was a pivotal part of the evolution of games and a fun game to play at the time (and has ten times more soul than whatever nonsense they're slapping the label on in the modern day.)

I gotcha. And completely agree with Tunic as well. Unlocking the in game manual to learn more about the game around you was an amazing discovery. I actually bought the physical manual to it which was also made with great quality.
