Beruga's Lab / Genius's Playground (Terranigma Orchestral Cover) (天地創造) 

I remember playing this as a child, whose mother provided some partial translation to Swedish. I guess I missed Beruga being the bad guy at first, but arriving at "Mosque" and seeing the creepy white-robed guys floating around, and then witnessing Berugas evil power-point presentation, I started getting this eerie feeling... I remember it to this day. And then you get to the lab. The cold, dark and sterile environment is like nothing you seen earlier in the game. A vision of things to come, or a frozen relic of the past? And the music, just goosebumps. Throughout the level I had this feeling I was doing something very wrong.. But hey, gotta press on! It's brilliant. And worryingly enough, could very well be thought of as a warning, seeing where technology is currently heading. This cover does captures a lot of the feelings I felt back then.

Can we all appreciate the amazing write up? I played this game as a 10 year old and I had no idea what any of the topics meant. Slowly but surely everything starts falling into place.

*"The game stablishes pretty often pretty often the importance of progress and science to overcome superstition and the darkness brought by ignorance and fear".* ¿You do realize that Beruga's main benefactor in Terranigna was such a "superstitious" being who most brilliant scientists today would consider a myth not worth their attention in their pursuit for betterment of the Human race? Beruga was a mad genius who's very foundations for his mindset came from his allegiance to a supernatural Deity who was the very personification of Entropy and Death in the planet. The fact that his very scientific aspirations and goals hinged on a biological weapon *created* by said deity makes your point on superstition and the "darkness brought by ignorance and fear" moot given said Deity's very intention to spread darkness and fear across the remnants of the Human race.

@@javiervasquez625 Have you *even* bothered to read my full comment? Because that's exactly my point at the end of it. I didn't certainly mention the whole Beruga's workshipping to this dark god, but it doesn't contradict my point about the character's megalomania, if any it only reinforces it. Also, how does my point come as moot, considering that mankind's progress as a medium to enlightment is basically the core point of the entirety of Terranigma's adventure? We can argue that the game's plot is naive, but that's how the story is build. Is a tale of hope, but also of warning when people deviate from the path of enlightment. Beruga's workshipping of Dark Gaia is depicted as the wrong way science and progress is meant to be focused, because his goal are ultimately selfish and self-indulgent at best, and terribly misguided at worst. Again, that's precisely how I described Ark's encounter with Beruga, so I fail to see how my point of view is moot. Next time, I'd appreciate you take your time to read a full comment before counter-arguing. English is not my mother language, so I apologize for any possible grammar bloopers, but my point stands still.

@@Gnamut You're forgetting that in the *context* of Terranigna there is NO SUCH THING as "superstition" considering all the supernatural and outright demonic ocurrences which happen all over the game's world ranging from ghosts, demons, walking skeletons, talking animales, mermaids, human beings being reincarnated into animals and the very premise of the game dealing with Jesus figure literally embarking on what can only be described as a *religious* journey to uphold a cosmic Order preordained by a supernatural being who clearly cares about upholding such a fantasy world ABOVE the scrutiny of "secularly rational Science". This whole tale of Hope you beautifully remarked hinges on the idea of GOD(not abstract Nature) and the *supernatural* having an active direct effect on the Natural world which Beruga is trying to reforge in his own image and thus this one point in your comment in regards to "superstition" is completley, objectively, factually wrong. I do agree with everything else in your comment so don't take it personal as i very much enjoyed reading your exposition on the fallibility of the Human mind to avoid misusing the Scientific process for self indulgent and selfish interest. It is okay you expressed yourself clearly and i very much understood what your arguments are. I still know you made a mistake dismissing the supernatural element to Jesus's(Ark) journey to restablish balance in a world lead astray by Mankind's Ego and Self-serving nature (Beruga).

Es war echt schade das ein Superhirn und Universalgenie wie Beruga so einen "kläglichen" sehr brutalen Tod bekommen hat. Auch fand ich es schade das er so schnell gestorben ist und man nicht noch ne längere Story mit ihm hat. Als ich die Szene das erstemal gesehen hab als kind da war ich erstaunt wie gut man solche Todesfälle schon auf dem SNES machen konnte. Seitdem bin ich ein RiesenFan des Snes. (hab die todesursache nicht genannt für die leuts die kein spoiler wollen ;) )

@@caromell_ Ich fand seinen Tod damals äußert passend. So ironisch...

@@caromell_ es steht in dem Spielberater... dem Schicksal ihm nicht selbst zu wünschen... die Propeller seines Schiffes werden ihm zum Verhängnis....

You mean Roman ist Beruga and feed us with his dark Soundtrack to make the Apocalypse more comfortable?

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen! :)

No. An servant devoty. Hail to transhumanism! Covid... I mean Asmodeo will clear the path

Yep, ich bin dran ;)!

Danke für dein Feedback :)! Underground ist definitiv auf der Liste!
