Default Blue's Journey??

Anyone else a fan? I wanted to try out a Neo Geo game and seeing as this was one of only three that wasn't on SNK Arcade Classics I thought i'd give it a go. The graphics are excellent, the music adequate, gameplay fun but the two player is stupendous! Why on earth aren't there more co-op platformers?

I couldn't encourage you more, just remember that originally being an arcade title it's quite short and does everything to gobble your coins. But if you're a platformer fan you should be pleased.

Yeah, but it's not quite as easy as it sounds, boss fights need to be done in one life and there are multiple routes/endings.

Darn it;I'm a fan of easy arcade games, so boss fights needing to be done in one life sounds...not easy. Multiple routes and endings are always good.

I wouldn't let it put you off, there's only one boss that I found to be really tough, give it a go if you don't mind paying 900 points for it.

I'll probably get the game on the Neo Geo Collection...It is on the compilation, right?

Damn! If it was on a compilation, I might have tried it! Oh well...it doesn't look that good anyways.
