I played Actraiser a bit as a kid on my SNES... meaning, I rented it, played the first few levels, and didn't spend much time with the god game portion of the game... I was very young, so give me a pass... I returned to it this year... well, I was just getting some footage of my Trinitron, and several hours later I realized I was still playing. This continued for several days until I reached the end of the game.
What makes this game so special? The action is not perfect... the god game portion is very basic... but somehow the sum is greater than it's parts. Check out the video and let me know what you think.
