I bought a Sega CD for this. | Popful Mail
I've been wanting to play Popful Mail for as long as I can remember. Ever since I saw a Popful Mail ad for the Sega CD in a gaming magazine, I WANTED it. But... I didn't have a Sega CD, so the dream never came true... UNTIL NOW! Time to finally play Popful Mail and see if it would live up to my hopes and dreams.

I didn't even know until I started writing this video that there was a Popful Mail for Super Famicom and a Popful Mail for the NEC PC-8801, PC-9801, and port for the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16). The game was localized by Working Designs, who had a catalog of anime-style games I adored as a kid, like Lunar: Silver Star Story and Albert Odyssey, making me only more so wish I could get my hands on Popful Mail.

Dave Does Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village is here, and filled to the brim with interesting spooks. I had an absolute blast going through RE Village and finding the similarities between other Resident Evil games I loved, like Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 7, and of course, a taste of that OG Resident EVil. While Resident Evil Village might not be for everyone, I truly had a blast. Creepy song at the end: Chloe's L...

    You don't need a manual to learn the controls? You've got to be kidding. Why waste your time learning by trial and error when you could read a manual? And besides that, there may be some controls you'll never learn by trial and error. But then you'll miss out on some of the fun of the game or make it harder on yourself.

    Good video. I had The Immortal on the NES as a kid and did my best to figure out that maze of puzzles and death. I tried to get back into it on the Genesis but it was a loose cart, no manual so I didn't even figure out how to fight and gave up quickly. Now that you show me I need to hold the C button I think it's worth giving it another go (of course with Gamefaqs open at all times :-)

    It's Skies of Arcadia. 😁 But I like both :) I like them so much that I'm modding both atm. Millenia's Spellbinding Eye trivializes all bosses where's she's in the party (and most Cancel S-Moves at a much less extreme point).

It's what got me into RPG's and Skies of Arcadia solidified that. Both legendary games that hold a special place in my memories. I have both original copies to this day

    I did like that Millennia took an immediate liking to you because, well, Elena already had. Also, you skimmed over one of my favorite parts, and something that touches on the fact that's she's Elena's repressed side. When she tricks Elena and goes to rip the horns out of Ryudo she hesitates. Her mission, her compulsion, she fights it and in a moment of fantastic voice acting that was heart-wrenching screams she can't do it.

The story was awesome, the characters the long ass story, the multiple party characters…i often want to revisit but I don’t know if I have the time and I don’t want to potentially take those rose tinted glasses off to see it in new eyes 20 plus years later.
