• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

What did you assume when you first started playing Cave Story?

I Wiki'd Cave Story before playing it

Same here, then I followed it up with viewing the Tribute Site. It wasn't until I had a much better connection speed that I got a chance to finally play and enjoy Cave Story. Of course, getting to the point...

I'm sure plenty of people was thinking Metroid when getting that first Life Capsule.... And I was, needless to say, one of them.

Then, when I got to Grasstown and defeated one of the Mannans, I thought, "What the heck...?" whilst I slightly laughed at the expression on its face.

Monster X was a pain the first time I fought it... And the extra 4 or 5 times after that, but it was worth it to see what happens after finally winning the battle.

It was absolutely awesome to fight the enemy while Curly assists me in the Labyrinth...

But it was saddening when I couldn't save her after the Core room flooded...

And when I reached Final Cave (The easier one, that is), I immediately thought Blaster Master when noticing the red 'Lava' (Though I was slightly positive it could've been something else, but still harmful regardless).

when I first fought Monster X, I was like "WhAT TEh FUxx BulLEt no Hit thing!" and then I realised that it opened up to reeval some brain like goo balls so I started to hit them but his hp didn't go down but they did react to a bullet as if it were hitable and so that's how I got to ownzorz pwnzorz Monster X www.rolloverme.com

Well, first I thought it was about a caveman that ran around hitting people with snakes. When I started playing it, I walked a bit and thought that Quote was a girl. I did watch the opening thing and the guy looked evil, so I saw the guy at the computer and started wondering stuff.... I played through up to the Mimiga Village and when King was talking about Sue I thought I was sue... What? I was the same color as them. So when I got up to Balrog and Misery I thought the Doctor was the guy at the computer (Kazuma).

I was way off.

Oro? [this says it best!]

Interesting first impressions :p

My first impression was complete confusion lol So many strange sights like Balrog, the Mimigas, egg Corridor... I can't remember what misconceptions I might have had my first time. I don't think I knew I was a robot for a long time...

When i first plaied cavestory
I thought it would be a game
about a caveman
doing caveman things
LIKE CAPITAN CAVEMAN

no joke

lawl.

I thought the old man would wake up
I thought Quotes name was Dokutsu Monogatari
I thought the eyedoor was just a door, and died

I thought the missiles from my launcher would hurt me
I thought the sword would be swung from his hand
I expected a bad ass game

I thought it would turn out as a combination of platformer and puzzle game. Until I left the first room that is.

Upon reaching Mimiga Village, I knew this game was going to be awesome.
