I'm Gaming Jay: Youtube gamer, let's player, fan of retro games, and determined optimist... Normally I'm working my way through the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE in my Let's Play 1001 Games series. This is a great book with a ton of classic retro games but it doesn't have everything and it's even missing some of my favorite video games. Hence, in Saturday Afternoon Gaming, screw it, I'm just going to play whatever I want!
In this series I will be playing some of the best retro games that don't appear in the 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE book. So pull up a chair, slap on your headphones, and join me as babble aimlessly through some of my most favourite classic games! And hey, if you have ideas or suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments below. I'm always looking for more games to try! Today we play...
Power Blade 2
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Blade_2
Power Blade 2, known in Japan as Captain Saver (キャプテンセイバー, Kyaputen Seibā), is an action platform video game by Taito for the Nintendo Entertainment System/Family Computer. It was released in North America in October 1992 and in Japan on September 29, 1992.[1] It is the sequel to the game Power Blade. Due to it being released late in the systems life cycle, it is pretty hard to find and is one of the more valuable games for the console.
The game takes place in the year 2200 and follows NOVA, the protagonist from the first Power Blade game, as he sets out on a mission from the US Department of Defense to destroy the Delta Foundation, who has created a new cyborg that can threaten global security if it falls into the wrong hands. Just as in Power Blade, this game is similar in gameplay to the Mega Man series in that the player has the freedom to select any stage to play. It also adds some new features also seen in the Mega Man series, such as the ability of the player to slide and a wide assortment of weaponry.
Power Blade 2 was made first in North America and was then released in Japan with the title Captain Saver. As in the first game, the title comes from a special powerup called the "Power Suit", which gives the player additional firepower capabilities.
The object of the game is to destroy the Delta Foundation. The player can choose the order of the first four levels/buildings before unlocking Area 5. The objective in each building is to destroy the boss in order to destroy the building. After the player defeats the Area 5 boss, the game proceeds to the final level.
One of the biggest changes to this game was the addition of four collectible power suits. Instead of finding a temporary power suit, the player can collect four powerful suits by defeating a mid level bosses. The four suits are the Newtsuit, which lets the player climb the ceiling and walls, the Wet Suit, which allows the player to swim, the Rocket Suit, which lets the player fly, and a defensive suit called the Patriot Suit.
December 24, 2200; The Delta Foundation, a weapons research company, developed a new cyborg soldier. The US President was told that if the government did not buy it within the week they would sell it to another government, which would pose a threat if it fell into the hands of a hostile government. Nova is given a secret mission from the US Department of Defense to destroy the Delta Foundation.
