The frightful time of ghost, ghouls, and sugary, gooey goodness draws near and keeping up with ToT tradition. Tonight's entry is a treat fit for the festivities. ( I would opt for Trick but hard to pull off thousands of miles away with a keyboard unless I use the ol' "Free 2 CDs" trap.)
Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999 is by far the scariest and darkest (forgive the pun) addition to the Neo Geo Pocket family, at least on the US side. The whole thing give off the SMT aura (Shin Megami Tensei). For starters, you, as the hero, plunged into the underworld for the sake of power. The cover itself explains it all. Second, your boss is the Grim Reaper himself, on off days when he's not Drac's stooge. Searching for the ultimate weapon, ol' bag of bones here hands over a capture gun to 'harvest' roaming monsters and get this...feed it to your weapon in hope of evolving. It's Pokemon meets (insert cannibalistic movie name here) and one of the best RPGs NGPC has to offer.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
