Where to begin. When I was eleven, I wanted some kind of a video game. My parents agreed to get me a Gameboy for my birthday. Warioland dates '93, the first time I played it was on demo at Wal-Mart was in '94, so it was still relatively new. It didn't look as impressive at first glance, but I asked for it anyway.Ha! Well birthday came, and I got them both! Then a funny thing happened...my dad got so addicted to the game he hogged it for the first couple weeks! HAHA! Now does that tell you anything about how addicting and fun the game is? I hafta hand it to my dad, he has more tenacity and would simply hack away at any game until he beat it. I remember he slaved away for weeks trying to beat Warioland...and I was still stuck one the first couple levels (when I actually had the chance to play it!)Okay, finally he beat it and I had my crack at it, not to mention my dad knew the tricks to help me beat it, so no complaints there, ha. Warioland turned out to be much more complex, time consuming and detailed than it had looked on that demo station months earlier...my dad and I both marveled at how good it was. Talk about a stinker of a game to beat, some of the bosses and levels were just MEAN (remember the ghost of Parsley Woods? ACKPTH!)The game ends on a particularly fun bang where you fight your way into the bandits castle and fight an evil genie as the final boss. I replayed that boss round so many times it was just entertaining. Needless to say, I replayed the whole game numer.
