In 1995, LucasArts took a break from the whole “Star Wars” thing to bring us Metal Warriors, a side-scrolling action game that was basically 16-bit Titanfall. It’s a weird, B-movie version of that action-RPG style of game popularized by Square in the 90s, one that would be awesome to revisit if for no reason than for the sheer novelty of it. You dog transforms to match his environment, appearing as a feral wolf in prehistoric times or as a laser-firing toaster in the far future of Omnitopia, which is a nice touch.
In Secret of Evermore, you play as a boy who travels through time with his dog sidekick, beating monsters to death with a bone (or a bazooka, depending on which time period they happen to be in). I bought this game because I thought it was some kind of bootleg sequel to Secret of Mana or something and, in many ways, it delivered on this promise. You know how sometimes you’re on Netflix and you’ll see some knock-off of a popular series - movies like “Transmorphers” or “Atlantic Rim” - and you click on it without thinking, and it’s maybe 15 minutes in before you’re like “hey, there’s something off about this?” Secret of Evermore is basically that.
