WedSNESday: Let's Play Holy Diver
Holy Diver, you've been down too long in the midnight sea. What is becoming of me? Ride the tiger! You can see his stripes, but you know he's clean. Oh don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away, Holy Diver.
Yes, ladies & gentlemen, this is Holy Diver - Irem's first (and last) foray into games directly based off of early 1980s hair metal with strange neo-medieval imagery. Despite having only visuals directly following the music video, it's a reasonably solid side-scrolling castlevania clone with a Megaman-esque variable magic system.

WedSNESday is the Level 0 NPCs weekly series where we play one older game for one episode, just to relive the nostalgia and maybe make your hump day just a little bit more fun.
