Luego de 1 año, igual estuve jugando otras cosas entre medio, finalmente he terminado Lies of P. Un juego hecho con cariño, cuidando bien los detalles, muy buen guión, tremenda banda sonora, excelente ambientacion, etc. Sin duda se ha convertido en uno de mis juegos favoritos de la úlima epoca.

A game I had vague memories of when I was in my early teens, and have now beaten, was a #Gameboy game named Mercenary Force.

A friend of mine had this, and when we hung out, we would cartridge swap games because no kid had a huge library of games unless their parents were super into games.
So you'd soft trade with friends to experience more things.

Anyway, Mercenary Force. Honestly, I don't play many shoot em ups. Vertical or horizontal, but this one stuck in my mind.
You start the game buying a team of four mercenaries, with different shooting patterns and HP pools, and try to save the local lord who is under siege from the forces of evil.

Your team moves as a group, as you shift between a variety of formations, and you blast through enemy hoards and hope to evade an onslaught of bullets. My inexperience of the genre sees this as quite unique!

Very heavy on the Japanese folklore as well, which you might not guess from the box art!

Just when I thought I was reaching the end of my #DOOM console port hellhole, I noticed there was a #PS1 port of Final Doom!

Consider me excited! Initially...
The Doom 2 portion of PS1 Doom is a very neutered version of the original. No Archviles, a handful of levels cut, even newer monsters make scant appearances. Very few Revenants, Mancubi and Arachnotrons. But, I hope you like Hell Knights!

So, looking at Final Doom, I was wondering what they did with some of the Casali Brothers maps. Well! Turns out Final Doom PS1 takes maps from The Master Levels as well as TNT and Plutonia. In fact, there are only about 30 levels in all. With Plutonia getting a pultry 6 levels as representation!

Something tells me that Final Doom is going to be a very sad experience...

At least it isn't Doom 2 on GBA!

Initially I told myself I wouldn't.
But after I had finished #Doom on #PlayStation I went back and decided to attempt some of the harder challenges on #RetroAchievements list for PS1 Doom.

Clear a stage with 100% kills only using the berserk power ups on Hurt me Plenty or higher.

Killing one of every enemy in the game with a chainsaw

Defeating the Cyberdemon on Tower of Babel with only using your fists (And Monster Infighting).

There is even speed run challenges of beating Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 in under 2 hours each.

At first glance those achievements sound difficult, but with only a little perseverance I was able to Master Doom on PS1.
Outside of PC Doom, this is probably my favourite way to play Doom, it runs well and feels pretty damn good.
Though Nightmare Spectres can go to hell... Or double hell after I send them there with a couple of super shotgun blasts!
