Layla – Ice Cream, Asteroids, and Anime Babes

Retro Odyssey ep.017 An IN-DEPTH review, analysis, and retrospective of Layla for the Famicom. This is an exhaustive look at a game that is pretty much never discussed and mostly forgotten. In this video I'll cover everything in the game, the structure of the game, my personal experience, and how I feel it stacks up to its contemporaries from the context of a first-time player who didn't grow up with an NES. This one was tough, because the game itself is much too expensive for what you get, and it was so mediocre that honestly I struggled to put the required amount of effort into the editing. However, I did end up completing it and I really hope you enjoy it! 💗 I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ Layla ~ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: Layla (レイラ) Platform(s): Famicom Release Date(s): JP: December 20th, 1986 Developer: dB-SOFT Publisher: dB-SOFT Director(s): Hiroshi Ono, Seiichi Matsuno Producer(s): Naoto Shinada, Megumi Yoshida Programmer(s): Naoto Shinada, Hiroshi Ono, Yukiharu Nakajima Artist: Seiichi Matsuno Composer: Yasuhito Saitō Genre: Maze-Action / Shooter / Platformer ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ note: all gameplay footage for 𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐 𝑶𝒅𝒚𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒚 is recorded using original hardware ~ LINKS Music: https://outmind.bandcamp.com/ Strategy Wiki: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Layla Manual & Box: https://www.gamingalexandria.com/fc/L...
