Nope. The first issue was in 1988.

This game is Time Pilot fucking Geometry Wars with Heavy Weapon's cock. Made by the Ridiculous Fishing guys for PC and PS3/Vita. It works with controllers on PC but still a quickie port. Worth the 10 bucks. Loads of fun.

I will give that a shot since you're the second person to recommend it, but the first was bvork so it's probably broken and it looks like the inertia makes it hard to play well in comparison to a traditional shmup.

lol I didn't give that any thought at all, as I actually had and recently sold my early issues. Oh well. I'm still using that map, because there is no way I'd stick with that painful game any other way.

The original game came with a fold out overworld map in box, so technically you're still good.

Awesome

It would be impossible or at least infuriating to find some of those dungeons without a guide or the playground repository of videogame knowledge. Hope you really like the candle item.

I didn't think it was that bad but I like exploring in games. I didn't use the included map or outside help back in the day. I found games like Metroid and Phantasy Star more confusing.

When I played zelda 1, I walked around every screen and methodically bombed every wall and burned every tree that could possibly have a secret. I remember coming to the conclusion that no room could have 2 exits, and placing bombs and fire to test 2 sections of wall/tree at a time.

I remember that map specifically because I wrote all over it marking up everything I found. I lent the map to my cousins eventually later, and they got mad because I even marked the door repair charge caves. I wish I knew where that map was now.

I was a little bit crazy about that game as a kid.

As a kid I definitely would have done stuff like that, if I liked the game. For example, I fully mapped Shining in the Darkness while visiting my cousin. He probably wanted to kill me.
