Played through this one recently and I did actually find a use for the teleport: It replenishes the item pickups in the stage, so you can "farm" the early ones quite easily this way.

I remember I my classmate had this exact game, I loved it, but couldn't remember the name, and it stayed in the back of my mind for years, never encountered a video talking about it. FINALLY, after 20 years, and thanks to you, I finally know what was the name of that game. THANK YOU! PS: as many other SMS games, this too had a killer soundtrack

@hungrygoriya

4 жыл бұрын

Yessss! I'm so happy that the mystery is solved for you! And the soundtrack is fantastic, you're right. I mentioned loving The Ruins' music, but the first stage track is something else. I don't know what it is about it, but the aesthetic and the tunes drew me straight into this one and never let me go. I love it!

I thought I'd watched this review before when I first discovered your channel, but it seems I hadn't! I just did now, though, and I'm glad to see you enjoyed this game, as the MSX2 version of it is a favorite of mine as well, and it's good to see the Master System version holds its own with it. If you EVER get a chance to play it on MSX2, though, I highly recommend doing so -- not only is the game longer, with 8 stages instead of 5, but the stages are also nonlinear with multiple divergent paths through to the boss in almost all cases, giving the game a surprisingly large amount of replay value. In addition, the MSX2 game features FM versions of the game's music (which sounds fantastic on the MSX's Yamaha OPLL chip!), and a few of the minor issues you noted in your review are addressed: selecting a new psychic ability in the menu DOES pause the game in the MSX version, and running is achieved by double-tapping a direction; it does not ever automatically occur (though the timing for the double-tapping is a bit nonstandard, requiring you to push a direction, let go of it for about 3/4 of a second, then press and hold it again. The upshot to this, though, is that you will NEVER run by accident!). About the only downside to the MSX version is that the pre-stage cutscenes using in-game graphics aren't in that version, though this is made up for by full-on manga slate cutscenes with narration and/or dialogue after every few stages. And while no official English version of the MSX game was ever released, to my knowledge, there IS a full fan-translation readily available, and the English text in it is quite good. ...I feel like you'd probably enjoy the MSX library in general, come to think of it. It's an absolute free-for-all, with tons of utter junk to sift through, but LOTS of gems to be found if you dig, making the garbage-sifting extremely worthwhile. Given your love of Faxanadu, for example, I'd personally recommend checking out the game "A Life M36 Planet: Motherbrain Has Been Aliving" (yes, that's actually its name), which is an MSX-exclusive game I absolutely HAD to track down after hearing its name, and it wound up actually being a really good game that reminds me a bit of what Faxanadu might've been if it were sci-fi instead of fantasy. It's not perfect by any means -- in fact, it contains one particular game-breaking bug that's extremely easy to trigger and you won't even know you triggered it until you're HOURS farther in -- but it's nonetheless a really atmospheric and ambitious game with an absolutely bonkers story about highly evolved space plankton. A fan-translation exists for it -- which I'm proud to say I was the translator for! -- and I'm hosting a full online strategy guide I wrote for the game on my personal site as well. (And the fan-translation in questions fixes the game-breaking bug, too, so that's a bonus!) Hope you don't mind the bit of personal promotion, but given Psycho World's fame among MSX fans and your general taste in games as established by your reviews thus far, I really feel like you'd glean tremendous enjoyment from the MSX's wilderness of obscure gaming gems, with A Life M36 Planet being a prime example of one that I'm almost certain you'd really take to. Check it out, if you ever get a chance! I don't think I can link to my website in this comment without the comment immediately going to your spam folder, but if you look me up on Twitter at wyrdwad_tom, I've got a link to it from my profile. And as always, great review of a great game! Makes me want to play Psycho World again right now. ;)

@hungrygoriya your channel has definitely solidified my desire for a Master System. Prior to this I'd only played Phantasy Star on the Sega Ages collection. Now its just a matter of "when" lol

4:37 - 4.50 Honestly, that sounds more intuitive than having to go in the menu and fidget about before selecting the desired weapon. I genuinely appreciate it when developers are able to find ways to work around the lack of buttons, even if it's not always the smoothest implementation. This game is expensive on eBay, but watching this review makes me want to give it a shot. It looks like Mega Man oddly enough, and I enjoy those games.

Yeah, they did what they could with the controls to make it happen! I can appreciate working within those kinds of confines, but I'm still grumpy about accidentally teleporting back to the beginning of the stage a lot, haha I hope you can find a way to play it. I lucked out with a copy that wasn't very nice looking and I'm fine with an uglier cart as long as the game works well. I think I imported to Canada from France a few years ago. Good luck!

Great review! This really does look like a fun game. I like that the story has a female protagonist rescuing her sister, instead of the usual guy saving his girlfriend; I appreciate familial bonds getting some appreciation, even if they still trot out the damsel-in-distress trope.

I like to think the game is called “Psy Chic World” I would watch/play any media with that title. XD very 80s kind of cartoon.

That was an awesome review, I used to play this with my cousin as a kid, I'm thinkng about trying this again after such a long time. Thanks for the video!

Just picked up a copy of the Master System version and played it through. It was a real delight because I had the Game Gear version as a kid. The GG version felt more like an action platformer whereas the MS version had more puzzle elements in it. On the later levels, after I went through a door I would often have to hit pause and take stock of where I was in the room and what I needed to do to progress. The teleport power is actually more useful in the MS version because I goofed an ice block puzzle and needed to reset the level. In the GG version, you can't soft lock yourself like you can in the MS version because the ice blocks are set up differently. Also SPOILERS only as an adult I realized that in both versions, the shooting star that Lucia & Cecile make a wish on is actually a space ship leaving Earth, implying that Dr. Knavik (or another alien?) is still threat. It's a setup for a sequel that I hope one day could be made! And, finally, the ending sequence misspells Lucia's name as "Rucia". I lol'd at that because it's the second MS game I've beaten in a row that misspells a main character's name (I beat Sonic Chaos before this). Anyways, thanks for a great review! I didn't realize there was a MS version of one of my favorite GG games until I saw your video :)

Good to hear that you've gotten to enjoy the Master System game after enjoying the GG one so much. That teleport ability was the bane of my existence sometimes, but I could definitely see a few spots where it would've been useful to use. I thought the ending of the Master System version was super cheesy, and I also enjoyed how they wished on his ship. Talk about bad luck! I would've played a sequel without a doubt and it's sad that this series didn't go any further than this game, even if we did manage to get three slightly different versions of it. I'm trying to think if there's any other games where I've seen a misspelled protagonist name. I have yet to play Sonic Chaos, so I have something to look forward to at least, haha! And you're very welcome for the review. I'm glad a few more people are hearing about this game and are giving it a try. It's awesome!

Hi again! You have the VERY BEST retro game reviews I know of (I seek out many of them!). It’s awesome to see such an appreciation for so many games that I thought no one else ever know of… We are in a golden age of gaming! Sidenote: I searched to see if you did a review on a number of games, and I was surprised that I couldn’t find them… Maybe you did and I’m not looking correctly, but one example of an awesome SMS game is “Wonderboy in Monster Land” (there are other awesome games in the WB series, too). Bonus shout to “Rastan”. Also, hope you got a chance to revisit “Zillion II”… I was also always curious about “Miracle Warriors”, when I initially tried it back in the late 80s, the game seemed *impossible* to play (I quickly turned to Y’s, Lord of the Sword, Golvellius and Phantasy Star for SMS Adventure/RPGs!)… Very difficult! Anyways, GREAT work, as always!

@@RetroAllianceGaming Yes, absolutely! I imported mine from France and I'm from Canada. I've never had a problem with it! There are some games that won't play properly between the regions though. There's a list somewhere online if you're ever worried.

Not that the NES is bad but the Master System was arguably better, and yet it was and still is an underrated system. It's the Wii U of it's time.

I'd say there are some very comparable experiences on both consoles, and the Master System definitely deserves more love and attention than it gets. It's such a great console.

I freaking love this game! It's a such a shame it seems to have been mostly forgotten. You rarely see anyone discuss it

It's one of my very favourite games I've stumbled upon looking into the PAL library for the SMS. Also, I LOVE your channel! Glad to see another SMS lover out this way :)

Lucia for Smash please, Sakurai! Ness needs to get his keister handed to him by another psychic character besides Mewtwo and Lucas. 😜

I made it to stage 2 and couldn’t get any further lol. Good game though.

Stage 2's where I initially got stuck as well, especially those floating enemies in the area with all the little platforms. I just went slow there and killed everything, and it got to feel a little bit easier. Good luck!

There was also an MSX version, with better music and graphics. You can play it here: www.file-hunter.com/MSX/index.php?id=psychoworld

the mc looks a lot like athena from the arcade/famicom game...

Her sprite is pretty adorable, but she looks a little strange in the end-game pixel art sometimes... I didn't want to spoil too much though!

The master system was ahead of the nes... Nes just has better games.

I don't totally agree. Both systems have some really terrible games but I think they also both have some shining stars. The NES definitely had more available in North America, but it wasn't all good :D

@@zemocon2868 The PAL region stuff is a great way to expand the SMS library numbers but it still doesn't compare to the massive NES library. And there's tons of good stuff to be discovered outside of the really tiny North American set.

I wish the main sprite wasnt so shitty. Master system could do way better. See Psycho Fox, Asterix, Sonic, Mickey.

I thought Lucia was pretty cute, but you're right! There was a lot of visual potential that wasn't tapped into here.

I will never understand why Americans chose the NES over the Master System.

In my experience growing up in Canada, nobody ever mentioned the Master System. I was too young when I got an NES to remember seeing ads for it at all, but I know we probably got ours because my cousin was super into it and my parents went off of that recommendation. I wonder how people might have been able to compare back then anyway? Other than magazines, how would you have known? And didn't the Master System come out a bit later in North America too? Maybe people already had NES by that point. Who can say for sure?
