GAMES : ASTRO, I'm Sorry!
I was very, very wrong about the Astro game. It is fantastic and kept me up until 2am last night. I turned it down to 'easy' so I can actually manage it... but the story is great, stringing all the main themes of Astro together and introducing you to all, and I mean all, the characters from Tesuma's comics.
The game is played by runnig through all the levels in order once. But when you get to the end the world is destroyed as all robots are killed because of the fear that humans have of them (and their violent retaliation to being persecuted and destroyed). Lots of parallels for today's world problems, or for that matter any time's problems - which is why I love the stories of Astro so much; they are about being good and addressing persecution and equality, and there are very few 'evil' characters, just people with a different motivation :)
Anyway, you then have to return to the various levels to solve new problems found in them to 'change the future' so that the game finishes with a happy ending; humans and robots living in harmony.
You know, just because something can't be acheived doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it.
As for the game, it's great, and I hope I finish it tonight because I really need to sleep more. I don't know what the replay would be like because you have to play all the levels so much that going through the whole game _again_ might prove tedious. Though I would like to tackle it on normal setting.
