Qt3 Classic Game Club #17: Cave Story

[Rock8man]

I bought this as part of Humble Indie Bundle 4. Well, Cave Story+, anyway.

Here was my brief experience with it:

@Rock8man

OK, help me out then. I installed it. I start in a room with a spinning disk, a heart symbol, and a door. When I go to each of these three places, the jump button does nothing, the Fire button does nothing, the swap left button does nothing, the swap right button does nothing, the map button does nothing and the pause button takes me to an empty inventory screen.

I don’t get it.

@tgb123

The only way to win is not to play.

So at that point, I thought the whole “Cave Story is great” thing was just some kind of big game equivalent of a RickRoll, and I was the victim. So whenever someone mentions Cave Story, I giggle, and stay quiet, so as not to give away the game.

But this getting chosen for the CGC means my interpretation was wrong?
