With Götzendiener, it's the lack of puzzles that's annoying.  If you've actually played the game for any length of time, it's painfully obvious how empty each level is.

RegalSins entire life is a puzzle.
This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

I somehow missed the zooming action in Gotzendeiner. Did they squeeze a SNES onto the disc?

You move closer to the screen, duh.  Works best if you have wireless pads or an extension cord.

Well you see, the game takes place after a battle, so you have to figure out how to leave the tower. Unlike the west comics influenced videogames, and this one in particular, was an opposite take.

Your the Princess Jasmine trying to escape after Jafar and Aladdin, killed each other. Then the Geni and monkey took over the castle and are running amuck around the stronghold. Without a holder of the lamp, the genie is all powerfull.

Puzzles are everywhere, but they are natural puzzles, like what do I hit this bell with? I can use this ladder in ten differnt places? Hey look I can control a monster and lead em here? Oweee fireee? Those are the puzzles.
They had to be creative, not like Legend of Zelda playing boxel all day. Also the Princess has to deal with not being a buffed out warrior, in order to weild a giant Shamshir.

^ I have to say, it does sound interesting.  I like puzzle games a lot.

In fact, I'd have to admit, they probably are my favorite genre these days.  Things like Tower of Druaga, Prof. Layton, Ace Attourney, Pokemon Puzzle, Catrap...  I go crazy for puzzle games.  I tend to get really stuck into them and finish them too.

whats sad is this makes more sense.

I know what the puzzles are, clown.  The problem is that there's maybe six in the entire game.

Most people give up after failing to solve the first puzzle and never discover the even more challenging puzzles that follow. I don't know how long I sat there, trying to make sense of the ambiguous "Push Run Button" clue. I flipped the control pad over and over again, trying to make some sense from all the possible actions I could take. I admit that in the end, I just started mashing my fingers into the pad across all sides until the puzzle magically solved itself. I'll never know what the actual solution was, but at least I had the patience to make it far enough to experience some of the many brain busters that followed.
