It's kinda impossible to really describe what it was like growing up with this era of videogames. Each console was actually unique and not just the same PC with a different brand. The same game would even be different on each console. Seeing the jump from 8-bit to 16-bit to 32-bit in what, the span of 10 years? Wild. Plus the entire market hadn't been hijacked by a handful of Microsoft's and Sony's yet - there was more independence for developers to do what they wanted. Japanese were pumping out masterpieces, pushing 2D to its limits. There was an actual, real industry in europe. USA was there but hadn't captured everything yet. I'm glad I got to grow up with the 10-20 years of peak videogames.
There's a second version of Kaiser / G.Drgn in the coding, the one used in the fight with Ray. It costs 0 AP, always does full 999 damage regardless of your current AP, but only hits the first target rather than all of them.
It's like this song is telling us nothing matters in life but love and kindness for one another and to keep imaging your own perfect paradise where you can be joyful and happy and safe forever. FTW
A few times in my life I have said to myself "I'm always gonna remember this." Usually unprompted, and terribly mundane things committed to rarely trafficked back annals of the mind. This is playing, I am in Donna's basement, a 70's futurist split level home out of which operates the greatest home daycare known to man. I am 4 years old, soon to be five. It is slightly cloudy in that warm midwestern summer way. The muted orange light coming through the basement bay window stops just short of where I am planted on the floor by the TV. I am rushing to save because I know that my grandfather will be coming soon to pick me up. I am the last kid there, the room I sit in is normally a mild riot, but now it's me in the earthen womb. A shadow dances across the floor to my right, someone is walking up the front steps. Something in me says "you're always going to remember this" It's grandpa, I rush to greet him. The clank of the door and the creak of the interior screen. "Howdy howdy!" I miss you gramps.

I like that this piece perfectly encapsulates that time. Things were about exotic places from Goa to Phuket, Ibiza, etc etc. Some people at that time would go to these places.
I’m back years later listening again and it just never gets old or repetitive. I absolutely love BoFIV (and the other games… except we don’t talk about VI)
