  • Gimmick! (Sunsoft, 1/31/92)

    Ah, Gimmick! Tomomi Sakai’s gift to platform lovers everywhere. I’ll never forgive the Famitsu reviewer who gave it 5/10.

    If you’re not familiar with the game, you may wish to view Frank Cifaldi’s annotated introduction first so you can appreciate all the things the new, improved TAS above is doing. Most notable to me was the shortcut in Stage 2 that mostly eliminates that long, boring trip to the pirate ship. Bravo!

    (I’m sorry updates haven’t been more full-featured lately. Lot of personal work occupying my time.)

      That was an amazing tool assisted run. Do you remember what the Famitsu reviewer said about the game specifically? Apparently when EGM reviewed the game, two of the staffers gave it a score of 5 as well, and one of them rated it a 4. No one seems to have a scan of that review anywhere online at the moment.

    • Awesome.
      I wish Sunsoft release it for european VC.

    • Friend randomly came across this. Figured you would find it interesting. Gradius x68000 port team is visited
