I'm basically at the end of the game in #Arzette but finding the shovel is killing me. I have been looking for it since way earlier in the game.

I need it for the item trading chain.

The ogre needs a shovel and I assume the ogre will then give me one of their hairs. I can give the hair to the witch that needs it for their brew. I assume she will give me what I need for the one lady to season her fish.

Why can't I take this shovel that's right here in front of me?

I'm still loving #Arzette but it's not a perfect game by any means. I would love the ability to hold down or up and have the screen pan. There are some blind jumps that add a bit of irritation to the game.

It's mostly a good time though and the soundtrack is to die for. It appears I'm about 3/4 of the way through the game.

I would prefer a #PhantasyStar escapipe but this will do I suppose.

#Arzette

A couple of days ago I purchased #Arzette.

It has been a ton of fun. I really enjoy games like this. It's a sort of metroidvania with each level being separate & you can revisit them at any time to unlock other areas once you acquire the appropriate items.

Also, the soundtrack is so good! It reminds me so much of the synth-filled 32-bit era. I feel like this music could have been on a classic Saturn game. I LOVE it so I picked up the bundle with the OST.

Had a fun day with @JessiBeanTheFlaptorQueen and their partners today. We got a turnip racket going in #AnimalCrossing New Horizons, and I lent them my copy of #Arzette. I brought along my laptop in case we wanted to play some #StardewValley but we never got around to it.

BTW, if anyone here plays ACNH and needs to sell some turnips, PM me tonight (12-20 hours after this post) and I'll arrange things. 😁

Playing through #Arzette got me curious about the original Zelda CD-i games, and particularly the unofficial remakes that were (briefly) published a few years ago. They're hard to search for on archive.org (maybe they block "zelda" in searches?), but they *are* on there:

The originals are there too, as part of the greater CD-i romset. Thankfully that's easier to find!
