Another scene that sticks out in my mind was the statue of a pregnant computer program, it's huge belly surrounded by ceremonial candles-like something from the mind of David Cronenberg. In one area, two priests suspended in mid-air have been hooked into a computer, electrical energy crackling as they convulse in the air. There's some back and forth between certain areas, but so much of the game has some incredibly striking scenes that it's a pleasure whenever you do have to double-back. Narita Boy's story is strictly linear, with marked goals to follow as you run around its pixel-perfect backdrop. One boss battle I had to dodge a giant mechanical carp in a Japanese bathhouse as I surfed on a giant floppy disk One boss battle I had to dodge a giant mechanical carp in a bathhouse as I surfed on a giant floppy disk-which was pretty fantastic. These dramatic encounters feel more about showing off the idea behind the creation rather than being actually difficult. Boss fights are more challenging, but not as much as I was expecting. The game brings technology and mythology together to create an interesting world.Įnemy attacks are clearly choreographed to the point where if you just remember which technique works for each enemy you'll breeze past with ease.

There's a certain mysticism too, like how the high-priestess of the entire Kingdom is a supervisor program named Motherboard, how sentient programs called techno-fathers worship complex algorithms, how floppy disks act as keys to the holiest of temples, and how lines of code are treated as ancient scripture. It's the usual 'hero saving the world' narrative but with the twist of being inside a retro console from the '80s, and I think Narita Boy's execution of that idea is brilliant.Įvery scrap and segment of the gaming console has been assigned a specific role within this fantasy universe, and the world has enough lore that it could rival Game of Thrones. Traveling through each of the kingdom's three regions, you must defeat the evil servants of HIM, a dark program that wishes to see the Digital Kingdom fall. Within weeks Narita Boy is the best-selling video game of all time, critically acclaimed for its power-fantasy wielding the Techno-sword and taking players on a journey like no other. Following Redbeard's defeat, you'll be transported outside in front of the chest and the Backup Floppy Disk will be floating in front of you.Playing as the titular pixel hero Narita Boy, you have been summoned to save the Digital Kingdom from crisis.
The parrot will then fly to Redbeards side and Redbeard will launch shockwaves while the parrot shoots beams in the air, so try and jump between them or manage to get behind Redbeard to attack the parrot some more while he's locked in the opposite direction firing off shockwaves. Once this is done, run over to the parrot and hit it. Stand as far away possible from Redbeard and let him come to you which will put distance between him and the parrot. Redbeard cannot be hurt! You need to attack his parrot. Assuming you've already acquired the key card on the balcony earlier on Floppy Island and woke up the Lighthouse keeper but before going into the Thermal Baths, insert the key card into the terminal and a boss battle with Redbeard will begin.

This key card unlocks the achievement " A room with a view" even though you only obtain the Backup Floppy Disk after defeating Redbeard. Once inside, you'll talk to the NPC on the far right to gain access to the balcony and retrieve the Key Card that gives you access to the Redbeard boss battle.
