Game of the Day - Black Tiger

I just found Black Tiger recently.  It wasn't even on my recent list of best platform games, but it will be now.  It's a follow-up to Ghost & Goblins & Ghouls & other stuff, but without the letter "G".

I haven't yet played it too deeply, but decided to list it as today's GOTD because of the great graphics, nice level design and responsive controls.  Sometimes games like this are too slow for me to enjoy.  The weapon or jump action can seem like slow motion or delayed in these kinds of games, but that's not the case with Black Tiger.  Blast away with your weapons and jump and climb all over the place in a blink.  There is much more vertical stuff here than in the G & G games and it makes for a less linear experience.  Another nice touch is the collection of coins leading to areas where you can meet a shopkeeper to buy power-ups for you weapons and potions and skills.

That's all I'm gonna write now because I have to go back and play it some more.
