Hey, I know this is a really old discussion now, but by pure silliness I recently decided to download this game and play it with some of my friends. They had a lot of fun "taking notes" about the game as they played, and I had promised them that I would post it to the forum when we were done, so.... yeah. A lot of their notes are really dumb, but honestly we had a blast playing this.

MeestaMoo in tha house:
Alright guys what's up. I am starting to play this awesome Cave Story game. I am really hopeful for what I am about to get into. I have witnessed my friend play this epic journey, but I have never touched a lick of this game. I will now proceed.
First Death: Noob mistake number one.
First proper blue floppy disk: I thought the invisible platforms were mildly cool. I don't know if I missed some secret with the evil clones of myself in the last room. So far I wish there was music. But maybe that's the point. Not much has happened overall so I don't know what else to say. Miles interpretation of ending: I am sad at the reality of my existence no longer being my own. My inner demons have taken over my soul. I must give up on this current life, and let my demons carry on with my life. Goodbye. Something like that.
After a few deaths of stupid slow sonic creepy music red spike room with doors to avoid said stupid slow sonic: I think the idea is decent, having to speedrun a room but getting checkpoints from the door. Music is SO SCARY and gives me IMMENSE CHILLS. I am scared, which I think is the point (also goosy arms). I got to what I think is the last door and it doesn't look like there's a fair amount of time to get to that door. Big difficulty spike. Hmmmm.
MeestaOut sign off: Decent mod, but definitely needs revisions. Weird, vague game.
CurtoBug7;s awesine bites (notes):
The sonic part is hard but I'm gonna beat it *thumbss up*
I beat curly, it was pretty cool to get a gun. Now I know how to beat sonic or real this time.
Ok I got to the altar part, I feel like it's possible to beat the mashing part, but I don't want to do that again. Goodbyle.
If my house was on fire and I could only save Cave Story Dreams of Reality 2 or Paul McCartney, I would choose Cave Story Dreams of Reality 2!
Milobug Notes (me):
I thought this mod was a lot of fun. It had lots of little corners to explore, kept us guessing, and even as we struggled through the Sonic.exe doorway room we had a lot of fun. The game made us laugh a ton, and we had a pretty memorable night because of it. That's kinda the point of making games, right? To make sure people can have a good time? I certainly appreciated it. Thanks for taking the time so many years ago to make this silly mod.
