I was really sad to hear this. I loved Land Stalker, Dark Savior is my favorite action RPG and Blue Stinger is still my favorite resident evil type game. I hear someone is making a homebrew sequel to his ill bleed game. Blue Stinger and Ill bleed are also being ported to the Japanese X-box interestingly enough, and supposedly with new levels... I can't wait to see xbox blue stinger. I never knew the original sold over 500,000 copies. I always thought I was the only one who liked Blue Stinger :-)

Wow, that's a shock. I absolutely loved Landstalker. I never really found anything as good as that, in a similar vein, not even Dark Saviour. Having said that, I've recently been playing Tales of Symphonia on the GC, and it feels quite a lot like Landstalker, to my joy.

really? I shall have to give it a try, that is high praise indeed :-)

You and me both. I've been on the prowl for a copy of Landstalker since I picked up Timestalkers (DC) -- an okay RPG with an odd level system.

 

But hey, it's not like I have nothing to play...

Well, Blue Stinger wasn't exactly great, so meh.

[Needles Kane]

I agree. Blue Stinger was a great concept, but poorly executed.

In really enjoyed Blue Stinger, although I never finished it...got bored trying to get through the freezer. Also I was amused when "Dogs" character exclaimed "shit!" about something or other near the beginning of the game, I'd never heard a game curse before that.
