The first time you played Cave Story...

[S. P. Gardebiter]

How was it?

Before you read please note: Don't wonder about my Sue fetish. It actually was like I was being obsessed by fell in love with her. XD I guess that's the same thing some fans have got with toroko or even King.

Well I played Cave Story first in december 2005, when I was 14. I got it from a magazine, called Screenfun, it was presented very lame there in my opinion. So I installed it along with some other games, normally I test the installed games alphabetical. I just played Cave Story the first time, I saw the game and I thought: "Oh cool it seems to be a rpg like game just with a jump and run engine.", of course it was also cool to level up the weapons instead of the character itself tough I was kinda surprised that level 3 was max.

So I played after reaching mimiga village. "Sue? Yeah, I know her. That's the cute girl who stays cooped up in Arthur's house all the time, right?" Hrm, cute? I don't know how come, but I actually knew that she would be my favourite character, and indeed after reaching the egg corridor she was very cute :P

What attracted my attention was also that king looks kinda like knuckles. So I played trough egg corridor, giving Sue my answer and I was kinda disappointed at the answer she gave me :P I was for some attraction points lol. So I returned back and saw that the "creep-eyed freak", (the word made me lol) caged sue.

Grasstown, here I come! Reaching Chaco's house and having "sex" with her. Yep, I found that secret the first time I played Cave Story, I was actually like:

wtf?!

...

Sex? SEX?! SEX!! lmao

After getting the fireball, the jellyfish juice and killing balrog, I just noticed that Cave Story is not the only game I wanted to test, so I left the game for about 10 minutes to see that the other games are [editing] [edit] because they [edit] [edit] [editing] [edit]. In other words: OTHER GAMES SUCK, MUST GO BACK AND PLAY CAVE STORY! It is such a wonderful game!

I've just got the bomb ready and boooooooom! Kazuma is free! b.t.w. Balfrog was a amusing boss. I'am wondering about the ideas Pixel got. Kazuma is calling me a... Young man? Well okay, Booster joins us too! Actually first I thought that Booster is not a person that you can thrust, mainly because he said he never met Quote before and I thought he was lying.

So back to arthurs house, SUE IS FREE zOMG! *talks to sue* Well, Sandzone here I come! And no, I didn't got the Bubbler. I never knew there was a Snake, a Spur, a Bubbler and a Nemesis before visiting the forums. Dumb me. Anyhow, I was just at sandzone seeing Curly and thought that Sue is cuter. LOL! Well, after beating her and trading the Polar Star for the Machine Gun, beating omega, talking to jenka, finding the dogs and talking to Jenka again, I was just entering the storehouse.

Actually I thought there might be a method to have toroko and king not killed, because I was sad when they got killed, I didn't cried though. But well, I was just thinking that there seems to be no method to not have them killed. I've just beaten Toroko.

Labyrinth here I come! Nothing special here, just killed Monster X and the Core... The Core was my favourite boss, I loved the music. And yes, I got the Booster 0.8 so Curly and Booster died too >_< That was sad too :/

After I was back in the Mimiga Village I was wondering. Hellooooo? Someone theeeeere? Nothing, just a echo. Oh well... So I've gone to the Egg Coridor. Seeing Kazuma there, and he said that Sue was taken by Misery. Now I didn't knew before Misery was that witch. (Yes I know it's wrong, but my english sucked when I was 14.) So I thought Sue was dead... Oh no! Not Suuuuue ;___; But I never gave up, so I was climbing the outer wall, but before I was watching the "bad ending" which was kinda lame and not very entertaining.

So I was there at the plantation, with actually kinda nice music, the title music! And there she was, SUE IS ALIVE ZOMG! After getting into Jail, reading the letter, I talked to Mahin. A love letter? Too bad it wasn't one

So I went to Sue's mother and letting her finish that rocket, I've got up to the final Cave it was pretty hard, I couldn't finish it because... My father said: Go to bed. And yep, no joke, I cried! That is such a wonderful game, why not letting me play it trough the end? ;_______; "We have got a visitor and he is tired, he want to sleep! It is half past 4 AM!" Oh fuck- Played this game for more than 8 hours! ZOMG I WANT TO PLAY IT MORE ;___;

End of the story...

...to be continued? :P

Ah this will be fun i'll post it when i got more time.

King does look like Knuckles. =P But King is still my favourite cast member. He plays an important role. Giving you the sword before he dies.

funny when i first played it (around early 2005 i think) i liked it but didnt think too much of it ^^", but a day after christmas 2006 i was bored and i remembered the game and thought i give it a second go and then when i played it through i thought it was awesome as, and when watching the credits i saw the red demon and i thought "hey wait a sec i didnt fight him o_O" and then i checked a walkthrough and found out there was a hard mode so i decided to beat the game in hard straight after lol and from then i i absolutely loved the game XD and then a week later i joined this forum

lol sue fetish XD i'd like curly :P

I first played Cave Story at the advice of a friend. He was like 'Play Cave Story' and I was like 'k'. At first I was a bit miffed at plain title screen and how blocky Quote looked, and I immediately died about 10 times in a row trying to get past the spikes that lead to the first life capsule >.> I got the Machine Gun, but eventually I got stuck on MonsterX and decided to restart and aim for the Spur, because I thought I couldn't save Curly (once I remembered who she was >.>). The game was so much more challenging then, unlike now where I'm so used to the game engine and bosses from playing so many mods.

I thought it was fun the first time I guess, I liked the level and enemy designs, and the simple but involving plot. This was before I was really 'into' games, so I didn't really pay much attention to the music or give the plot much thought, it was only after a time that I came to realize what a great game it really was.

Now that I am 'into' games, however, I just tend to rush through them with a walkthrough, without paying too much attention to the plot, rather than taking the time to enjoy them... I really must change my play ethic, methinx... *sticks it in sig to remind self*

Well i found cave story thanks to the very image in my sig, I noticed someone had it as their avatar in the VGMix forum and i clicked it which lead to the CS remix site and i found the main CS page somewhere in that site. I read a bit about the story and characters, and found the story pretty interesting so i downloaded it.

It didn't take long to learn red spikes = death in the first cave. Anyway made it to the town, noticed all the boring mimiga characters.. looked around the town abit, kicked balrogs ass, then went off for egg corridor.

I kind of figured the white thing at the bottom meant instant death but that didn't stop me from missing a jump and landing right on the white thing. After dying a few times to the white thing, I got to Sue getting the crap beaten out of her from Igor. I laughed to my self and continued on, saved Sue, made my way back, I wasn't really impressed at this point. The best thing so far was the music.

Now I was going to Grasstown and this is when it started getting good, probably because those stupid looking ghosts were so fun to kill. I didn't know about the Chaco thing then.. I remember laughing when Balrog squashed that obselete piece of crap into the ground. I spent like 2 hours in Grasstown because i didn't know you had to talk to Kazuma to get the gum key. Balfrog was pretty hard cuz i wasn't too good at using the fans back then. (Im pro now after playing Jenka's nightmare).

Soo went back to town went to Sand Zone and finally saw Curly, I was eager to see when she'd enter the picture because she seemed a cool character from what i read on the website. I was dissapointed at how easy she was to beat.. she deserved better than that. Sand zone was a real pain in the ass so much back tracking for that hag and her dogs. So I killed Toroko without hesitation, took king's sword then I was sent to the labyrinth apparently.

Labyrinth was a cool section i've all ways liked "trash heap" stages in games. So I got the Cure-all and fought Pooh-Black. I thought it was Balrog possessed by satan at first. Monster X was hell when i first fought him.. must've died like 5 times. I kill him without damage nowadays though. So i took the booster from Prof. Boosters corpse and when to the room with the rock. The scene before you fight balrog for the last time was mildly humurous.

Anyway my second favorite part of the game (first being hell) The labyrinth fight. Thats where I really started to like curly, she kicked ass in there. I was pretty smashed up from balrog so i let her take out all the bad guys while i hid behind a crate. And the music was so cool too. As soon as I entered the shutter room I litterally said to myself "Curly's gonna die" the music was so ominous. The Core was pretty hard.. (I still have some trouble with it) but finally killed it after a couple of drownings. I must've clicked curly's corpse 10 times before realizing she isn't coming with me. It's at this point the game lost its innocence. Anyway i'm gonna stop here the rest wasn't that spectacular to me, until I learned how to save Curly 7 months later and made it to hell a few days ago.. hell is so addictive.

when I first played CS, I was like 'omfg this game is f***ing sweet! so then I recommended it to 12 people, 1 of which played it, and 0 of which finished it. cuz my friends have no appreciation for good gaming. I did trade the polar star for the machine gun, then i found deceasedcrab's walkthrough and I loaded up my backup save and played through. then I got the booster 0.8 and let curly die, and found out that that was totally screwed up, so i loaded up my backup save again, and played through to the good ending. which was recently. actually, shouldn't say the 'good' ending, should say the mediocre one, where curly dies and ballos lives. or doesn't, could he survive a crash like that?

oh yeah, and don't criticize me but i skipped monster X on my first playthrough. lol.
