Dragon Slayer I on Game Boy yɛ saa sukuu dedaw mu RPG ahorow no mu biako a ɔkwan bi so no ɛte nka sɛ wɔtwe aso na ɛma abotɔyam bere koro mu. Wode nkrante titiriw ne mpaebɔ na efi ase, a wokyinkyin kwae mu baabi a atamfo a wɔyɛ mmerɛw mpo betumi asɛe wo sɛ woanhwɛ yiye a. Ɔtweaseɛ no ko a edi kan? Yeah, ɛno yɛ wake-up call —wobɛ grinding ama gold de upgrade wo gear no ansa na mpo woasusuw ho sɛ wobɛma biako akɔ fam.

Nea m’ani gye ho wɔ ho ne sɛnea ɔko no yɛ mmerɛw nanso ɛyɛ atirimɔdensɛm no. No fancy combos, bere ne bere a wunim bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wokwati ara kwa. Pixel adwinni no kura mu ma ɛyɛ nwonwa yiye, titiriw ɔtweaseɛ sprites no —wɔhwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ hu ankasa, ɛnyɛ akraman akɛse a wɔwɔ suban bɔne kɛkɛ. Na saa chiptune ɔko asɛmti no? Still gets me hyped.
