Blue's Journey

Blue's Journey (also known as Raguy) is a side scrolling platformer game originally released in 1991 by ADK for the Neo Geo and later ported to the Neo Geo CD in 1994.

Story
Raguy was a beautiful planet full of nature inhabited by insect humans (Insectorians). However, a few years ago, after the Daruma clan arrived from another planet, Raguy became more and more polluted. Meanwhile, Blue, a boy who uses a martial art called Leaf Art, heads to battle with the Daruma clan to save his unrequited love, Fa, the second princess of the Raguy royal family.

Gameplay
In Blue's Journey players control Blue (the second player controls a mirror image of Blue referred as Shadow Blue), with the game playing like a typical side-scrolling platformer. His main form of attack is to drop a large leaf which can either stun or be picked up and thrown at enemies. Aside from attacking and jumping, Blue can also shrink in order to cross small gaps in the scenery.

The game is four stages long, though the player can choose which stage to visit after beating a boss, adding to the game's replay ability. Strewn along the levels are various shops where the player can buy power ups, as well as houses inhabited by NPC characters which can give the player hints or ask for specific items. The game has multiple endings, which are decided depending on the player's actions during the game.
