I made it to Matic a few times in Strider, but he kills me almost instantly. It's pretty painful, because it's a LOOOONG stage up to that point, with no check points.

The rest of the game is actually sort of easy up to that point. But the final stage has a bunch of boss fights. There's one guy with dual blades who turns into a whirlwind and who is only vulnerable when jumping (a new fight for the stage), a guy with a shield who mirrors your jumps (a reprise), a samurai (reprise), a shark robot (can't remember if that's new or not), and then some of those fights are reprised again in the same stage!

The game is kind of an adventure, but it's just barely in that genre. There's not really a whole lot of nonlinearity. As well as all those bosses, the final stage also makes you find two computers and destroy them (really, some UFO looking thing in front of a computer) before you can move on. I think when I got a chance to play this game as a kid, I had a hard time remembering where to go to find the computers, but it's really not all that difficult.

But, again, with all the bosses, and the exploring, and the sundry parts of the stage, there's a lot to get through to only be killed instantly at the boss.

The other weird thing about the boss is that it can disarm you and throw your sword across the screen (the only enemy in the game that can do that).


I don't know if I need to get a better strategy for the boss, or just rambo it, but make sure I use my healing magic better.

This game misspells "Yggdrasil", as something like Yugdesiral.

While testing N64 ROMs, I cleared out the first world of Banjo Kazooie.

I moved the files to my laptop.

I unlocked Bubblegloop Swamp, but I can't find it! After you unlock a stage, you can't get your puzzle pieces back. Fortunately, I had four pieces left and Treasure Trove Cove only took 2 to unlock.

So, I'm going through that stage now.

I unlocked Freezeezy Peak. I already have 80+ notes there. I also have enough notes to unlock the next door (350), but I haven't done it yet. It seems like it might be an easier stage than Clanker's Cavern. I think this game probably is (granted, it's been a while since I've played it) harder than Donkey Kong 64, which did strike me as just being about running around exploring. In that game, when you get a banana, it was yours to keep forever. In this game, if you get some notes, but not 100, then die, you need to do the whole thing over.

The emulator was kind of chugging when I left off, but I just put it aside for now rather than solving the issue because I've probably been playing too long anyway and my eyes need a rest.
