Wow, The Wand of Gamelon had some good music.

Yes, both of these games have unironically good music, though very unfitting. Some of the painted backgrounds are good looking, too.

I was listening to the Faces Of Evil soundtrack at work the other day (I work at a record store) and it sounded like the composer borrowed some riffs from Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, and Siouxsie & The Banshees.

It's not exactly bad, but it's not exactly great either. The controls can be inflexible which causes some artificial difficulty, especially near the end of the game. But there's still fun to be had, and as we've established the music is kickin',. so I rate the game as a slightly above average 6/10. So why is it considered bad? Because all games are seen as bad if they aren't 8/10 or better.

The main criticism I hear of Chrono Cross is for its story so I think it's more one of those games that's subjectively viewed as bad. Some people especially don't like that it essentially renders everything that happened in Chrono Trigger worthless, which is a fair criticism considering I hated that in Star Wars.

I was watching James' videos on Action 52 and Cheetahmen earlier today, and I have to say, the Genesis version of Action 52 really does not even look that bad. Don't get me wrong, not amazing or anything, but I am genuinely surprised that after making the complete pile of garbage that was the NES version, they not only somehow made another one but actually improved upon it a little bit. I'd like to learn more about the history behind the development of the Genesis version.
