All hail GYNOUG!

Remembering the games of yesteryear.

All hail GYNOUG!

This is one of those games I heard about from seeing it reviewed by Mark from Classic Game Room, and only he could make me want to check out or get into a game with a main character and end level bosses that are this ridiculous. So as soon as I had enough $, I went to buy a copy of Wings of Wor, which is the US version of this game. And I don't think it is related to WIZARD of Wor either. This game also looks and sounds like something Capcom could have made.

I didn't think you would have been familiar with it since from what I hear it's relatively obscure.

The game was developed by Masaya, which was probably one of the 16-bit era's most underrated developers- they also gave us the Langrisser/Warsong games, Cybernator, Target: Earth, and Gleylancer.

The Langrisser/Warsong serie is a great one ! Yes it's underrated alas, but many series are like that...:(
