Ok this is new and has never really happend to me before.
Everyone and there mother around here keeps talking about this game as a great Puzzle title on the Neo and honestly if you look at my "collection" you'd be able to tell that I rarely play anything outside of fighters and the very occasional shooter.
I ended up playing MD3 on MAME for a bit during lunch at work and got intrigued enough to pick up the cart and now that I'm playing it on my Neosticks (I rarely play ROMZ at home anymore) its just incredible. You can do so much better playing on real joysticks, but thats besides the point.
I never imagined a puzzle game could be this intense, or this engrossing. I have never gotten that "rush" you get when you first find an awesome game you've never played before outside of a fighting/RPG game. So you can imagine my surprize after I became addicted to this thing.
Fortunately I'm not alone in my addiction. Most of my gaming friends who were over this weekend are now addicted to it as well, but most importantly so is my better half who can actually beat me sometimes at this little gem.
Anyway I'm starting to learn how to setup simple combos but I have gotten some high chains already. 7 was the largest I got once I think, but I've also been hit by this MASSIVE chain during vs. play that was incredible to see how quickly it killed me.
Funny how scarry that combo sound is when its not coming from your side, as you hear it get higher and higher it just brings more impending doom to your soul as you play and wait to see how badly you're going to get screwed in the next few seconds.
Man I love this game, I may try some other puzzlers (I eventually have to get Twinkle Star Sprites, but that'll have to wait till after I splurge my cash on SvC).
BTW, I actually found this baby for only $45 off MD. Gamesales, which just makes the score even sweeter since everywhere else I looked had it for a lot more. Thanks Mike!
