yeah man thats the 3rd game,  theres a second game too called Shine of Darkness.   Its pretty fun.  The NES one gets hated on alot, but I always thought it was fun.

pumping the franchise!

Though if I had to pick, id go Hydlide 1 for MSX2 (The froppy disk version w/ 256 colors!), MSX1 for #2, and Sega Genesis for #3  w/ MSX2 in close second, only because the FM tunes for the genesis one kick ass.  hard.


I intend to make a video now that my camera has batteries and shit.  It will mostly be me playing Hydlide games, while making fun of everyone who whines about the game.   I figure if theres like 3402034 videos on youtube bashing the game in faux-AVGN fashion, there might as well be ONE where someones praising the game!

I've been meaning to pickup the MSX games, but the multiple versions confuse me...

I always did like the idea of Virtual Hydlide though.  They idea, atmosphere, and setting
were perfect.  But they kinda failed in the execution of it.  Still it's a much better game then
people give it credit for, but the horrible horrible frame rate makes it hard to play these days.

Here is the 'splanation.

Hydlide 1 MSX1:  monochrome sprites and stuff, on a cartridge.  Password based w/ volatile save ram (If you turn the system off, your save state dies).  Its still extremely legit, and I prefer it over the NES on.

Hydlide 1 MSX2: Same game, but on a floppy.  256 color mode (looks better than NES), and lets you save to disk.  Get this one if you can.  It usually costs more. 


Hydlide 2 MSX1:  It saves properly, and its fun.   I skipped class to play it last semester, lol.

Hydlide 3 MSX1: Ugly.
Hydlide 3 MSX2: Not Ugly, and the same exact game.



Its kind of like MSX1/MSX2 version of Drasle Family (legacy of the wizard).  Same exact game, except the MSX1 one has monosprites.



Hydlide in general doesn't get the credit it deserves

I think they are all great except Virtual Hydlide
Damn I wish I had an MSX now

Thank you for the clarification. And randomness, lolz.

I hated the NES game so much that the Saturn version is one of the last games I intend to purchase on my quest for a complete library.  Blah!
