This was one of my favorite games on the NES, and a fantastic Metroidvania long before the term was ever coined. I loved the shmup levels, the huge map (for the time) and the large variety of weapons which facilitated different playstyles. my only qualm with the NES game was that it had a password system to bring up your game progress and the randomly generated password was like 17 digits long, meaning if you didn't write it down perfectly all your progress was lost; this is something being added to GOG could fix with save states. It's sad that more people aren't aware of this game, and I know Metroidvania and shmup fans alike would agree The Guardian Legend belongs in the list of best Mteroidvanias.
I had this for NES. It had a great soundtrack and the top down flying stages were fun as were the overworld map areas. If this releases on GOG, I'll be more than happy to buy a copy.
ShadowrunShadowrun is an action role-playing game.It was adapted from the cyberpunk role-playing game Shadowrun.The game is the second video game adapted from Shadowrun, and has a more open ended style of gameplay than its 1993 Super NES counterpart, Shadowrun by Beam Software.
The game is set in the Shadowrun universe, in the 2050s. A time where the blending of technology and human flesh is common; it is around the time the Matrix, a huge computer network, came online, with the ability to jack into its cyberspace directly. It was also a time of magic renewal: a phenomenon known as The Awakening occurred, where magic returned into the world. Sorcery was once again possible, and slowly and seemingly at random humans began to mutate into orcs, dwarves, elves or trolls. This time of upheaval was not without political conflicts: mega-corporations began to control the world. But with their magic, native shamans threatened them and the world geography came to a complete change. The Amerindians and Elves reclaimed an area called Salish-Shidhe, close to the free city of Seattle, a major city in the newly formed United Canadian and American States.Open world Action Fantasy Science fiction Sandbox
