We've been missing them for decades now.<br /><br />The hero standing on a cliff stopped by the end of the 90s. I do miss it because it such a strong image of a hero standing tall over the villain. It probably coincides with the obsession of making the protag and antag "just as bad as the other" in a way to dilute the two. We definitely need to bring it back. Some day I hope to have a cover like it.JD Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548340507655076198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-2748491165252248012018-04-24T16:13:55.154-04:002018-04-24T16:13:55.154-04:00I love this game though I have yet to beat it. Nee...I love this game though I have yet to beat it. Need to try again.<br /><br />That "hero standing on a cliff" motif is great, so many games did that in the 80s and 90s. I don't play enough new games to know if it's still a thing, but it should be.<br /><br />"And maybe that's how it should be. Ninjas come and move in the shadows, disappearing when the task is done. Joe Musashi came, thrilled us all, and left back where he came from. The man did his job and vanished. Isn't that just like a ninja?"<br /><br />Perhaps he needs to reappear under a new alias, in pulp form. But first I need to figure out how to write a plot and not just action.<br />Pat D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16006319840697102258noreply@blogger.com
