Some have names. Hmm...maybe I'll add them in the answers page. Let's see...there's fish, purple thing, hungry alien....

I've never been too much into Dungeons & Dragons, but I do like the creatures and fantasy settings.

Eye of the Beholder felt very claustrophobic. Too slow-paced for me.

Wasn't that entire game based on claustrophobia? It reminded me of all the times I kept panicking in Phantasy Star 1. Monotone dungeon mazes from the first-person perspective are like a nightmare. I'm glad that dungeons look better than they did in the old days.

Did you ever play Friday the 13th on the NES? The game switched to a first-person view when you entered houses. The level design was so poor, each house felt like a giant rat maze.

Come to think of it, I remember playing this game a long time ago. I don't think I remembered it very well, because it had such a horrible level design.

I had to watch this video to bring back the memories. The memories of throwing rocks that conveniently arc over the enemies head. Urgh.

I thought of Darius, but I avoided using robots/ships for this Puzzler. Do you have any idea why everything in Darius looks like marine wildlife?

I think it must have been a gimmick used just to look different. Luckily, it's kind of awesome, and it has survived throughout the series =oD

That would have been cool. I'll remember it for a possible sequel. :)

Ha ha! I didn't want to use popular baddies like Mario's bloopers or Sonic's robot fish, so instead I went with bizarre and forgettable water-dwellers like the Aladdin fish and whatever #7 is.

That's not a bad idea. The Puzzlers are hard enough already, so checking the answers should be painless. Thanks, William!

Thanks for being so amenable. I always dig the Puzzlers, even if I did just keep guessing Super Metroid and Mega Man for most of today's edition.

Pic, or it didn't happen?

Ha, I don't take pics of my restroom use. That was a gross comment, sorry.
