Description Those who have actually laid their eyes on the Mr.Gimmick game would understand this...
So if you haven't seen or played the game, GET IT!! GET THE GAME AND PLAY IT!!
IT IS AN UNDER RATED NES GAME THAT IS FUN, DIFFICULT, AND WILL KICK YOUR ASS 50 TIMES OVER!!
Sorry about holding the Shift button, but I just love this game
It has made it to my top 10, and deserves the recognition it needs

And many gamers I know on youtube have reviewed this game...
Namely ZetaPlay and also a review by PatTheNesPunk
So check them out...

Anyways...
If you don't understand, in the game, your way of attacking is using stars that you occasionally throw at enemies. And another nifty thing about it is... you can ride it!!
Which is awesome because this is a skill you need to learn in order to get secret items
Which are necessary for getting the GOOD ENDING
And... it's just beautiful

I highly recommend this game for old school gamers, and even new gamers
Because the way the game is designed in general... is beautiful
No retarded AI, the enemies actually FOLLOW you and just absolutely try and murder you
Even the bosses can dodge your attacks!!
It's just so freeking beautiful...

And this may be my Other Type of Nintendo art I shall be doing!!
Because Mr.Gimmick is that Obscure videogame I need in order to keep me happy
And reassure that my interests on obscurity... Is just beautiful
Because... why go mainstream? When you can venture through the dark unknown?

I am a huge fan of Gimmick! Everything about this game is just breathtaking. Thank you for making this beautiful piece!

From the moment I saw this picture, I knew exactly what level in the game you were referring to. You captured it perfectly, what with the aquatic creatures, stone platforms, and that overall musty feel about the area. I love the way you gave the star some dimension, giving a better explanation as to how the character rides it. Truly excellent; the actions, shading, personality, and all. A definite favorite.

I find it sad that a beautiful game goes so under-appreciated.

I love this game to my hearts content, it's sad to know that it's literally a hidden jewel of the NES library.
If you can get hold of a copy, or just the ROM, then try it!!
It's a hard yet fun game :3
