Publisher: Sega
Released: 1991
Psychic World is an action game that was first released on the MSX (1988) and then ported to the Sega Master System (1991).
+ Terrific level design (with multiple pathways to tackle certain areas) and the difficulty is more refined versus the SMS port.+ Weapons are continually added to your arsenal and figuring out the best one to use is similar to the Mega Man series.
+ Environmental aspect of using power-ups to reach otherwise inaccessible areas adds a cool puzzle element.
+ Unlike the console version, the game pauses while you select an item, which is much needed in the heat of battle.
- There's no grace period of temporary invincibility when you take damage, so your life can quickly be depleted.
- No checkpoints throughout and when you're kicked back to the start of the level your life isn't replenished.
- Missing several stages from the MSX original, and even some levels in the SMS version have been combined here.
