Toy Commander

Video games and toys are both objects of play, but the kind of play they facilitate often couldn't be more different. While games usually enforce or reward a way of playing determined by the developers, toys merely suggest it through their design. Video games are really specialized at providing one kind of experience, but toys leave the development of an experience up to the player and their imagination. The possibilities are infinite, as they say. So what if someone decided to take the concept and aesthetic of playing with toys, but placed it all within the rigid framework of a linear, mission-based game?

La-Mulana

La-Mulana, a modern love-letter to old-school Japanese adventure games for the MSX computer, gleefully recalls the most brutally difficult aspects of that era of gaming. The Japanese indie developer GR3 PROJECT released La-Mulana as PC freeware in 2005. In 2011, under the new company name Nigoro, they released an enhanced remake for WiiWare and PC. Among those willing to brave its challenges, La-Mulana earned a dedicated following for its retro-style approach, the depth of its world, and capturing a feeling of true exploration. The often Engrish-filled digital manual has some insight into its design philosophy:

"La-Mulana is a game that was designed to remind those gamers tired of the 'super graphics, easy gameplay' types of game commonplace on modern consoles just how fun the old style of games can really be. ... For those used to the new-style of really easy games, it may be very hard to beat La-Mulana. But that's OK."
