Weekly Game Review: Viewpoint

[Mockery]

Haha awesome story Anselm... glad to see somebody had the fortitude to see their way through the entire game. It is ridiculously hard, but the design is so perfect and it truly keeps you on your toes the entire way through. I definitely need to get a copy of it for my home Neo Geo system so I can try playing co-op mode with a friend sometime. Soooo much fun.

Congrats on completing it... it's great to see another person who truly appreciates this unsung gem as much as I do.

Thank you. I didn't even know about co-op mode till I read your article. I'll have to find out how to access it.

I beat it on MVS setting. I have two rules about my Neo-Geo games. One, I always play on MVS setting, regardless of how unskilled my guests are. Two, the older games that have unlimited continues are limited to three. I almost ended a friendship on Alpha Mission II when I made him reset after using the last continue at the end boss. Those house rules stem from when I was paying $200 a game at the age of 17. I wanted full value for my dollar. Since I beat so many of them that way the rule never dropped.

We eventually beat Alpha Mission II on three continues. My friend agreed is was well worth earning it.
