"Question about "Athena"." , posted Fri 12 Sep 08:21

Well, it's Athena, the ancinent game from SNK... Well, I have heard stories about that "Athena" to be a side-story of the ancient godess and thus was not THAT realted to the actual Athena character.

I got lucky and managed to see the NES port game and at the beginning you see clearly that a school girl gets "abducted" and fights as Athena. I ask to you people (specially someone like RugalBernstein) what happens in the end.
Does she make it back? (thus proving that she is from this time)
What the heck happens.

Nah, it's the goddess Athena. She's just in white robes in the beginning, her clothes fly off when she falls on to the surface world (so she's technically running around in her undies most of the time)

Things where so nice before.

Another question about Athena: In the NES/GBC game Crystalis there is a female character that helps you (Mesiah was the name if I remember correctly); well, the thing is that rumor has it that this girl IS Athena (statement that I highly doubt) yet until I know the original japanese name of the character I do not dare to draw any conclusions...
I doubt that someone handles this "cultural fact" but if anyone does this knowledge will be more than welcome.

Yes, that's Athena in Crystalis, but don't read too much into it. Kensou also appears, as well as Ralf 'n' Clark.

Was Crystalis a good game? THat game always interested me- even when I was a little kid. What type of game was it? Like an action RPG or what?

I loved it. When I think back to the NES days, this is one of the games that comes to mind. Yes, it's an action RPG, something of a more face-paced Legend of Zelda kind of game. I dig stuff like the elemental swords despite the fact that the earlier swords become pretty obsolete when you get the next sword. The Water Sword was the best. The Level 2 Water Sword attack was my 'signature' attack when playing the game.

It was remade for the GBC, but I personally didn't like it. People tell me it's the more 'complete' version of the game, but despite that, it's not the game I remember playing on the NES. I used to wonder why people thought it was utter crap until I actually played it for myself, and heck, it IS different from the NES game, and it IS utter crap.

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I will rule the world

and find that truly good cup of coffee.

They were the elders of Joel or something. You went on a quest, and Clark gives you his sunglasses. Ralf was spelled "Ralph".

Mesia (as she is named in both versions) and Athena are unrelated characters. Athena does appear in the game as one of the 4 Wisemen, although her name is misspelled "Asina" in the US version. Kensou is also a wiseman ("Kensu"), and Ralf ("Ralph") and Clark are village elders. The game art is "old" styled Enix-ish looking but still pretty cool. Check it out.

I didn't remember that Crystalis had all those guest stars but it's been some time since I've played the game. It's a shame SNK threw so much of their efforts behind the MVS since it meant most of their output was arcade style games instead of console friendly genres.

Y'know rumor has it there was a Crystalis 2 planned for the MVS. I don't remember the site's URL or even name, but it had information on many different unreleased/unproduced MVS games. I can't recall exactly but I believe one of them was an MVS version of either the Kyo or SamSho RPG.

Yes, it was a french page if I recall and contained a list of unreleased titles and a lot of info (pics if possible); I remember there I saw some pics that Juan pointed out (about Ninja Fighter Sho).
Well, I appreciate every adds to this thread and after reading everything I do remember that this knowledge was hidden depth within my brian; I feel silly after asking something I knew before hand.... Then again, it was nice to see that pics.

"Gracias".
