I’m a little over half-way into the game at this point, and it’s already getting tough. I see these as ‘alternates’ rather than negatives or positives - but the same can’t be said for the difficulty level, which was increased by giving bosses more power, and removing the Japanese releases’ two ‘continues’. There are several content changes, such as much less dialogue (cheaper than translating), some boss battles have been changed to robots from the original, more feminine, designs, and there are a host of smaller graphical changes. Maybe consumers were moving away from the classic 16 bit platform games at this time, but there’s also evidence to suggest that changes requested by publishers, and subsequently made for the American & European version of the game, can be held at least partially responsible for this failure. Which is a shame, really, as despite having all the brilliance of Treasure’s best games, it was largely ignored at launch and, in terms of popularity, has never quite recovered.Īnd the probably reason why is really annoying. Obviously this depends on your personal definition of ‘Hidden’ (the gem part is not up for debate) but to me most consoles have their mainstream, super well known titles, their ‘B’ titles that are less well known but not exactly obscure, and then there’s your hidden gems.ĭynamite headdy could arguably fall on the line between the second and third categories, but no more than that.
It seems a little absurd to suggest that a game from Treasure one of the most respected and well known developers of the 16 bit era, could be a ‘hidden gem’, but Dynamite Headdy, only the third game they made after the utterly magnificent Gunstar Heroes and the… rather less so… McDonald’s Treasure Land, is pretty much that.
