I can say that Blazing Dragons still holds up. One of the worries about diving back into any game that isn't fresh off the press, is that if it still looks and sounds ok that it won't be graining to play. It's nothing revolutionary, but at no point during my playthrough did I think, 'SIGH, sure would be nice to have a mouse and keyboard.' You can always open the inventory with a single press of a button, and cycle through actions by using your shoulder buttons. Items you need to pickup or interact with are large enough that you aren't maneuvering the curser to highlight a single small entity to get something to work. The first thing I am sure no one is asking, is about pixel hunting with a D-Pad, well luckily this game doesn't really have any of that either. Sure, its a little weird to be moving the curser on screen with a D-pad (I could not get analogue to work), but seeing as this game has no death states, it also doesn't have weird timing puzzles that require to navigate quickly on screen, it didn't bother me to move the curser over things I needed. This genre just feels more at home with a mouse and keyboard, but I actually found it to control fine on the PS1. Outside of Maniac Mansion, I usually make a habit of not playing adventure games on a console. Then one thing leads to another, and not only are you trying to compete in the tournament but save the kingdom from danger, you know, normal stuff. The Daughter is supposed to be wed to the winner of a knight's tournament that will also determine the successor to the current King. In Blazing Dragons, you take on the role of Flicker, who is an inventor who is looking to marry the King's Daughter, but there is one problem.

It is what I consider the classic adventure game, even though I know full well that text based adventure games came before them. We are talking about the type of adventure game, where it is relatively low stakes, where you have an inventory full of trash, and you are solving puzzles by using said inventory items on items in the environment.
Blazing Dragons fit that bill, and when I learned it was a point and click adventure game, I was sold. but I was looking for PS1 games that were relatively cheap and not just annualized sports titles. Something about re-collecting my childhood, etc.
I actually purchased this game, when I was on a PS1 buying frenzy. We are talking about, the classic adventure game "Blazing Dragons." So, it was fate that when I was craving adventure games, that I ended up spinning at least one that I could play, yet one I had no experience with. It has always been one of my favorite genres, even when we were in the era of "Death of the adventure game." When I was in college, and everyone was playing cool games like "Black" for the PS2, I was downloading "A Vampyre Story," and "Runaway." I even recently bought and read a whole big tome about adventure games, that just made me want to dive into games that I might have missed. This is an ongoing list where I attempt to do the following: Play, Complete, and Rank every video game in the known universe in order to finally answer the age old question "What is the greatest game of all time?"
