Managed to get a complete copy of Metamorphosiser, another UMC release. Apart from the ridiculously awesome name, the game turned out cooler than I was expecting. Its a side scrolling platformer with a cool post apocalyptic theme and impressive graphics. You choose from 3 different weapons, then you journey through destroyed streets and sewers and stuff fighting all kinds of crazy enemies. The instruction manual shows 4 bosses, but then only displays a question mark for the 'Dark Lord' final boss, so I'm curious to see that ^_^ Somewhat tough game, I've played it a few times now and have gotten up to the 2nd boss.
Heres a few quick shots I took (notice the in-game title is 'Tough Guy')
Also interesting to note that the copy of the game I got is the same copy that can be seen in the only decent box photo of the game on the net from Retrotrader. When I first discovered taizou's gamate section last year and went to retrotrader there were no gamate games listed, so I figured it was sold out years ago. A month back though I randomly ended up at the retrotrader site again and noticed it had just been majorly updated, and noticed that the gamate section was listing games again. I emailed the guy and he indeed still had Metamorphosiser, complete and mint. I bought it immediately, for about the same price that a loose cart of the game sold for from 3rdman's recent gamate collection sale, so I guess I got lucky on that one. Goes to show how crazy acquiring games for this system is, and also how depressing it is that the cool and interesting gamate games from UMC are so unbelievably rare.
