This is a thread to discuss games that have swords and shields. It's totally not like that other thread. Anyhow, let's talk about whether shield mechanics are more manly than no shield mechanics.

That's kind of how they were winning. Until the Persians got behind them.
I remember getting all excited as a kid when I got Trojan and found out that there was a two-player "fighting" mode since I was seven with only a Nintendo and the best "fighting game" that NES had to offer was Urban Champion. Then I played Trojan and faced the most colossal disappointment of my entire life when I found the entire movelist consisted of slashing and blocking.

Will never happen. Even though fighting games are one of his favorite genres, Cam prefers to play them against the computer rather than human players. It's true!

I like it to play online the most. The CPU Enemys are too repetitive in their attack patterns too be a vital opponent and all my friends are just dicks. So i stick to online matches.

Quit changing your topic names, it's fucking annoying.

When stealing the legs from a room where time has stopped, be considerate enough to provide support and clean up the mess* before the fabric repairs itself. This will result in less screaming on account of the goods donated.
Remember always to dispose of clocks in the appropriate manner, which is wrapping them in cloth mirrors and spraying them with squid ink. This prevents android growth and robot overproduction in zone 5 areas.
*Use of human bodily fluid not advised - use light and a rabbit covered in applesauce for the best results!

I'm not sure if that giant chart is supposed to be self-parody or not, but the mere fact that you made a chart for effing Trojan at all means it's time for me to abandon ship.
