Meh. I prefer the late nineties. The NES can take back its platformers. After all, it is that stuff that created the evil monstrosity that is Super Monkey Ball. Never before have I been so angry with a game that I wished to throw my controller across the room.

Now that you mention it, I remember that lag. I just thought it was due to me having a cheap computer :P.

Raadec, I actually have played games on cartridges where you had to blow on them to get them working. I had some old Sonic games. Cassettes seem to be not really used except in rare cases.

I apologize for my ignorance. I can't help when I was born.

I am now on level 12 (Noork's Elbow). ISV D3-2 is Level 16. There are 38 levels in the game. So that means you don't make it halfway until you reach the Sunspire, but you are right that it is close.

I am suprised to say this, but Unreal difficulty feels mostly easy. The hardest thing is saving Nali! I think Ceremonial Chambers took a long time due to that. But with 200+ armor and 100+ health, I think I am doing pretty well. I have realized a trick about the Skaarj, they will charge you if you hold the automag but run away if you have the stinger. So if you want to have them stop rushing you, pull out the stinger and shotgun them a few times. They will get the message.

I think you are right, Godlike makes Unreal rather easy. I made it through the former by a lot of save spamming. Unreal difficulty I am getting through with very little difficulty.

Actually... this may sound odd, but I somehow hit this power run only when redoing it on Unreal difficulty. The previous time didn't have me struggling, but did have me scrambling for armor and having a lot more trouble with Skaarj. I think that practice apparently came in handy so that Unreal difficulty was very smooth for me.

Ah, multiple disks. So many of my childhood games were on two or more cds.

Hahaha, Raadec is now being the one to nearly spoil things.

Ugh.. you guys won't want to hear this, but my commentary might be put on hold for a little longer. I have caught a cold and don't want the commentary to fall apart due to that.
