This was one of my first PS1 Games and looking back I still am amazed by how much this game had to offer:
There's 22 unique, fully traversable(!) and sometimes blowupable planets. The missions did spike or dip heavily in difficulty here and there.
You can unlock 5 modes for your craft and 15 types of weapons and grenades total, most with multiple upgrades you can find while scouting during your missions. Finishing the game gives you a neat little extra for your next go.
A great variation of enemy types provides plenty of resistance to stop you in your tracks and ample canvas for target practice.
It also sports a banger soundtrack IMO (If anyone knows who made it, please add me and let me know!).
Emulating it or having the Windows 95/98 version run on modern systems is a bit of a hassle and I'd love to play it again smoothly as well as have other people experience its slightly wonky charme. I also think it has never been released outside of Europe back in the day.
Infestation is a hidden gem that combines sci-fi vehicle exploration with exciting combat. It has a vast universe, the ability to transform vehicles, hidden surprises, and planetary exploration. All of these things make it stand out, especially for its time.
As a kid, I spent countless hours playing it, sometimes I played with my dad, which created some great memories.
The game was fun because of its unique mechanics and the challenge of leaving a world with a high rank (achieved by not dying).
Multiplayer added another layer of enjoyment. Playing football with the brain bugs was a blast. Capture the flag was great too. The soundtrack is also fantastic, adding to the overall experience.
Unfortunately, running "Infestation" on modern Windows systems can be a bit annoying, with issues like the vehicle not moving properly. A GOG release would make it easier to play on current PCs and allow access to the music without needing to emulate the original disc. I'd happily buy it, even at a premium.
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's AdventureDragon Quest Monsters 2 followed Pokemon's strategy of releasing 2 games with exclusive monsters that would need to be traded between versions to collect them all.
The games were later re-released along with the first Dragon Quest Monsters as a compilation for the PlayStation and the games were later remade for the 3DS, but only in Japan.Fantasy
