Well I can’t play it yet so I can’t really talk about it.
Here is the deal. I got a copy of a game called Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color. It’s a new game from Agetec with a really interesting hook. The problem is it’s a pre-release copy and I can’t play it on my regular old PS2.
The game has you draw doodles and then battle your doodles against other doodles in arena style combat using an enhanced Rock Paper Scissors type of system. Your doodles are rendered in 3D and can even be given simple animations. Individual doodles have different attributes and abilities which can be upgraded over time using color gems and other items. I’ve read over the instruction manual that came with the game a few times and I’m super intrigued by the concept. I just wish I could play the damn thing.
I am assuming I need some kind of super special PS2 that plays these sorts of games but I have no clue how to get my hands on one. I am gonna make some calls today and see if I can’t track one down. I’ll let you know if I have any success.
