Quarth Review

I'we never liked puzzle games that much to be perfectly honest. I prefer games with a bit more action like Rockman, Gryzor, Akumajou Dracula and so on. But during my recent trips across the internet to but random Famicom games i came across this game which i have seen EVERY time i ordered games from that specific site and i thought to my self "Why don't i buy it, it looks cool and its dirt cheep (2$)". I didn't do any research on this and assumed it was a J-RPG game like so many other Famicom games out there. The picture on the site was blurry so i didn't see the blocks and everything ells on to top of the box. The only thing that i knew was that it's made by Konami and you just cant go wrong with them. To my surprise it was one of the most entertaining Puzzle/SMUP games i'we ever played. And the condition of the Box, Game and the Instruction book was in almost perfect condition, well worth the 2$.

To explain the game i think its easier to show the Instruction Book since it explains it pretty well.

The game auto scrolls vertically and you shoot square "bullets" to complete the shape.

I think its like a mix of reverse Tetris and the "2,4,6 and so on" stages of Salamander.

Quarth unfortunately only have 2 songs. One on the first half of a stage and then one with a bit more "Stress" to it on the second half of the stage when the game starts going a bit faster. 

Speaking of stages.

There's 10 stages in total and you can even chose between 2 ships ( The one on the cover with the 2 angel kids carrying a "Space Pod" shaped object, the second ship is a more or less a bigger Vice Viper looking ship). 

You can play the game on regular single player or Tag Play with another player or even play competitive against each other. There's even a "Change Play" option, but i have yet to try it out. 

I was really surprised how addicting this game was, since its not as slow pace as some Tetris games tends to be, this was more like a fast pace shooter where you need to use your brain a bit more than usual. I like this game a lot. This just goes to show that Konami games on the Famicom doesn't disappoint (Mostly).

Well, there isn't anything more to say abut Quarth so please enjoy these pictures!

This is it for this time.

Arashes Out!
