Has anyone else played this shameful NES port of Thexder that they did? They've really never been able to get action gameplay working well, have they?

They should have saved us the ensuing several decades of gaming shame and just seppukued right there.

I think GA did the actual porting there, and Square was just the publisher. Not sure though, but Square's in-house development team at the time was like six people (a few of them are still there today btw) and they were putting out their own games so I don't know where they'd find time to do all those ports.

Eh, don't know if Square or GA did the port, but as much as I loved Thexder on the Apple IIgs, it never had the greatest control set-up.

DETS was developed by an offshoot of Dream Factory.

King's Knight is definitely a legit Square game though. It was designed by Sakaguchi, music by Uematsu, graphics by Kazuko Shibuya who did the sprites for the first 6 FF games and is still at SE afaik (working on Crystal Chronicles and stuff)

Square has done tons of shitty games. SaGa Frontier. Chrono Cross. Dirge of Cerberus. But I have King's Knight and it is, without a doubt, far worse than any of those.

If it's under the Square name, it's fair game.

King's Knight is actually playable!

Never did play Dirge Of Cerebus. The GAF thread on it back then scared me away from ever trying it.

It's Vampire Rain with FF characters.

and Chrono Cross is not shit.

You're right. It's liquid diarrhea.

Whatever, it's a good game on it's own.

Ichirou · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2007, 08:10:02 PM »

One of the worst games of all time, y'mean. Horrible gameplay system, almost nonexistent story, awful characters (in design and characterization), and the whole "alternate universe" thing would be cool if the alternate universe was actually a little different from the main one.

MCD · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2007, 08:11:26 PM »

I agree on the alternate universe (especially when compared to CT)

kawazu games are like tight teen pussy begging for your filthy ape cock. they have nothing in common with the sinful sodo-mania that defines a demi-robby gala!

tight teen pussy is boring and confusing to work with, i need someone with experience, someone who knows how to get into the thick of things right from the get-go, and kawazu isn't the guy to provide this

sakaguchi is the one, as blue dragon and soon to be lost odyssey has shown

That was my first thought as well. Damn that game was crap.

Actually, I think I might have found an RPG that is worse than FFX2 and any Xeno game... believe it or not:

I don't think many of you have experienced the gloriousness of Thexder, what with most of you all being unlovable virgins and all. If you had experienced the pleasures of the Thex, I have no doubt that you'd be agreeing with me that Square's *bizarre* NES port was the worst game that they have ever produced. It makes previous Square abortions like the camera in Kingdom Hearts seem like quaint little failures in comparison.
