ACESpark | Make a Good Mega Man Level 2 - Tier X Stage - Goblin N' Ghasts @ACESpark | Uploaded October 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this footage, I kinda balls up every single boss fight in this stage. Welp. Rough stage commentary in description below.
The game features a Bonus tier once all the Energy Elements are unlocked, Tier X. This Tier comprises of stages by the development team and key guests. This is probably more in line with what I would've submitted to the contest had I entered.
Whereas Seven Force was the primary focus, and indeed, time sink of my Wily level, Goblins had most of the focus towards the stage design and not the bosses, and that of replicating the Ghosts N' Goblins feel.
In spite of this, the time crunch might show a bit more here, since watching the playthrough back, I can see some things I would've liked to have fixed. It's also kinda long, but it IS a bonus level, so I'm not too unhappy about that.
This is primarily based off the Megadrive game, the GnG game I grew up with, so takes most of its inspiration from there. I feel the NES game gets entirely referenced too much.
Why the stage uses the Commodore 64 theme though... *shrug*
Whilst not the most "impressive" stage in Tier X, the development team generally agrees it is by far the most solid design wise. I'm fine with that.
Course, now I've proven I can make good stages AND bosses... I kinda need to do both if I enter MaGMML3. Yikes.

Moving onto a slightly more complex game to play (at least physically), I try playing a game starring my internet namesake, Sparkster! Konamis attempt at catching the lighting in the bottle that was Sonic, and one of the few such characters to actually get some (really) good games!
Incidentally, the screencap of the Konamis website shown during the Konami logo is is even under the sub-domain address Gaming. Make of that what you will.
Im using accessibility software to modify the control setups for retro games, as I am suffering from long-term severe wrist pain issues that makes gameplay difficult. As a result I need unique control setups per game.
This does sometimes result in certain acts of clumsiness during live play, (at least twice my XBOX One triggers refused to acknowledge themselves being released, causing Rocket misfires) as the games were not designed for these, but I got on rather well in this game all told.

6:36 Stage 2 - Ironworks
10:55 Stage 3 - Stampy Do!
18:42 Stage 4 - Submarine
23:58 Coda
There is no ETA on future videos, since at the moment Ive been suffering from a form of Dysphagia, the inability to swallow food, and as you can imagine its causing my energy levels to be all over the place. It was fun to play Sparkster again after all these years though.
