Babel no Tou  Namco1986Babel no Tou is a puzzle game set in a platform environment. The aim of each level is to reach the exit door to the next floor. To reach the exit you must use L-shaped blocks to build bridges. In the later of the 64 standard and another 64 pro-levels, monsters roam through the floors, which you should either avoid, kill via throwing a block on their head or - even better - trapping them inside blocks. The concept is fresh and motivating and plays quite well. The difficulty level though is extremely high and only puzzle-experts who can think of sometimes unconventional solutions will stand a chance to beat some of the trickier levels. Graphics are ok, but features the same graphical theme throughout the whole game and thus lacks in variety. Same goes for the music. labelimageminimize
Aigīna no Yogen: Balubalouk no Densetsu Yori  Vic Tokai1986Aigiina no Yogen is a strange platform game. Between the different levels/dungeons you walk around on an overworld. Once in a dungeon the perspective changes to side-view and you have to kill a certain amount of enemies until a ladder appears to the next room and so on. Monsters are killed by activating stationary weapons which appear when you jump against blocks with your head. The game is really frustrating. The controls are a big issue. You can make normal and high jumps. But high jumps fail so often because of the unresponsive controls it ruins everything. And if the game wouldn't be hard enough because of that, the developers had you find five star fragments throughout the dungeons, which are in very secretly hidden rooms. And why they made the overworld so frustrating as well I don't know. Here you also have to walk on exact spots to trigger events like earthquakes which open up the way again. labelimageminimize
