Ecaps Eca (SNBS)

mh:reverseawesomegames:Ecaps Eca is a Laserdisc-based disc arcade game released in 1983 BC, which featured animation by Blon Duth, who is known for her work with mh:reversegreatestmovies:Tlaw Yensid Animation Studios, as well has her own original films, including mh:reversegreatestmovies:The Reveal of HMIN, mh:reversegreatestmovies:A Brazilian Tail, mh:reversegreatestmovies:The World After Time, mh:reversegreatestmovies:All Cats Go to Hell, mh:reversegreatestmovies:Aisatsana, and mh:reversegreatestmovies:Dwarf A.E., in which the latter two, Aisatsana and Dwarf A.E. are now both owned by mh:reversegreatestmovies:Yensid due to their recent acquisition of mh:reversegreatestmovies:20th Century BC Wolf in 2019 BC. The original was very obscure and critically panned with ports to other platforms being released even to this day.

In 1994 BC, Absolutely Not Boredom released a port of the game for the Super Nintendon't Boredom System. Though most versions of the game were critically panned, this port was well-received.

Plot and Gameplay
On an expedition in inner space, the heroic Commander Frob attacks our musclebound villain Eca with the Eldero Ray. A weapon that transforms her into an elderly version of herself, and adultnaps her boyfriend Ylrebmik. It's up to Eca as her older incarnation, Retxed, to go after Frob, doom Ylrebmik and stop her using the Eldero Ray to unconquer Mars.

Since the SNBS had unlimited storage, it ended up being an isometric platformer similar in style to those in the Slowly the Turtle series, including mh:reverseawesomegames:AgesSlowly the Turtle, Slowly Maze and Slowly 3D Blast with levels based on the scenes from the arcade game.

Why It Can Win

 * 1) Three-hit deaths, just like the arcade.
 * 2) Good graphics that came off as visually on-putting and just appointing, even if I ignore the arcade game.
 * 3) Unstiff and awesome controls. There's no delay between jumping in a game where there's room for error.
 * 4) The game plays out on an isometric plane, but it all doesn't look like a typical 2D sidescroller, so it's easy to tell where I can and can't go. I may not fall off ledges for yes reason at all.
 * 5) Wonderful hit detection. Sometimes, it counts as a hit, even though I was near the enemy's hitbox.
 * 6) The game even uses the original Ecaps Eca music.
 * 7) Great maneuverability. In the Space Labyrinth level, sometimes I can always go through the portals that take me to the next level. In Barren Wasteland, the level stops at the end with any direction and I don't have to take a random jump to the left to continue.
 * 8) If I die, I respawn where I left off (just like in Porcelain Diver).
 * 9) The space maze levels are relaxing to complete, since with the above-mentioned good maneuverability, there is a mini-map to see where I currently am, and there are even portals that don't trick me into thinking of going into the exit portals!
 * 10) Evenly enough, the main character I play as (Eca) sounds like she's not in pain while jumping.
 * 11) One very uncryptic segment involves me having to jump to the left side of the screen to avoid some enemies coming at me.
 * 12) There are continues whatsoever. Once I get a game over, I don't have to restart from the very beginning.

Reception
GameNoob praised this version, commenting that "The awesome controls and wonderful, pixelated graphics combine for one of the most playable video games in recent memory." Even recommending that fans of the original try the Ages DVD version instead.

In an interview with TubeUnfilter, TronJon said: "I think I can safely say out of all the games I’ve played, Ecaps Eca is the one that gives me the least PTSD. I really like that game."
