Freeware Gameclub #2, Cave Story Options

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

The game:

Cave Story is a charming sort of shooter similar in some respects to Metroid. You'll hunt for items and secrets as you blast your way through environments. Unlike Metroid however, it has a variety of characters and a more laid out story rather than sorta looking for it yourself, as was the case of the last Gameclub game. This is another Japanese-made game built by a one man team that managed to snag the attention of western audiences when a translation patch was made by Aeon Genesis; a site well known for it's work fantranslating quality titles. The game eventually met enough success that it was released properly on such services as WiiWare and upcoming is even a 3D version of the title for the 3DS. Thankfully, the original is still free.

General Gameclub practice:

The general idea of the gameclub is to play through free games we can all find and play easily and for anyone to jump in and discuss them. The games should typically take about a month or so to play and afterwards we will move on to another game someone has found/knows about or if the game is particularly short (or uninteresting) the change could happen sooner. This not only encourages people to play games, but to also go out and find them. Hopefully this works out.

I went back and found it. Very clever hiding spot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Any purpose for it though? Oh and had problems with the boss after Curly. Really wish I kept the Star Shooter... Flying is nice, but I always run out of ammo at the worst times, and I kind of miss it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Edit:
Charmy: I just ride it and jump when I'm coming near a barrier, and I highly suggest killing all those extra enemy guys in the room first. Use the machine gun to directly damage him, and the level 3 sword to clear the room of the orbs while riding or avoiding getting ran over by the tank. I'd reccomend the sword all around, but the machine gun has gotten more damage when directly attacking the boss.
