GOOFS: I screwed up at the Black Onyx video when displaying a quote from the review, as I used the "fade out" first by mistake, when normally it's fade in first, then fade out. I forgot to fix that when I was exporting the video, but it's too late for me to fix it, so here were are. This is what it was written:
""The Black Onyx is a very barebones, very old-school dungeon crawler, with emphasis on “old.” While it’s neat to see that the characters already have little animations going on and visibly display what equipment they carry – which wasn’t a given for RPGs at the time – this doesn’t help to mask that there is not much to the game. The SG-1000 certainly was no graphical powerhouse, but even with that in mind, the visuals are displeasing and monotonous. The primary color scheme for the dungeon doesn’t serve to create an appropriate atmosphere, least of all for a town supposedly shrouded in everlasting night. And gameplay-wise, The Black Onyx doesn’t have much to offer. It may be interesting for its place in the history of Japanese RPGs, and during its original release it might have awed a gaming populace that up until that point had no idea what a role-playing game was supposed to be. From a modern perspective, however, it feels more like a pilot study of what an RPG could theoretically be than a proper, full-fledged game in that genre. By the time this title was ported to the SG-1000, other console platforms could already offer far superior games in every regard, even in the JRPG subgenre. Standing on its own and viewed through a lens of gaming history, it remains in an awkward place – between a stripped down western Wizardry knockoff on one side, and a clunky eastern proto-JRPG on the other."
