Unlike the older DeceasedCrab videos, his microphone is a lot better and his voice is a lot clearer. Nice.
Anyway, sad to see there isn't a game like this on the current consoles. You run left and right bashing bad guys, then you build a town and then run left and right bashing bad guys some more! It's action and town-building in one game!
Playing through this game a while back was really wonderful, even if I was playing it on ZSNES and using the keyboard the entire time. I really need to play it again sometime, and with a controller, too. Anyway, on with the show...

Once you enter your name, you'll find out that you need to regain your former strength that was sealed away by the demon Tanzra, and to do that you need to get the world to believe in you and your power once again.
Fillmore - Act 1
Reminds me of the Disney cartoon of the same name.
When you begin the stage (as you do any other), your heavenly body will take command of a statue which comes to life!
The enemies here are really wimpy. They'll all go down in one hit and their movements are all too predictable.
The bees come out of holes in the trees, in case you can't really tell. Unless you destroy the bee, more bees will keep coming out as they continue to leave the screen.
The trees that walk back and forth don't harm you; instead, they act as moving platform that let you jump onto higher tree branches. A few power-ups are located in the trees.
The boss here is a centaur with a spear. He's pretty simple: stay away from him when he points the spear at you, backs up and charges, then get two or three hits in and run away when he stops to shoot lightning bolts at you. Even if you're all the way to the left, the lightning won't damage you.

Fillmore - Sim Mode
You're now in Sim Mode. You'll start with a temple and two humans. Use the menu to build roads and create houses for more humans, while at the same time leading your people to the monsters' lairs to seal them off.
You'll also take control of the Angel that you saw at the beginning of the game. Use the Control Pad to have him fly around. When you see a monster, shoot arrows at it to destroy it and keep your town free of harm for a few extra seconds. Simple enough, right?
Build roads to the two lairs to the north, so you can get rid of the bats as soon as possible. It won't be long before the people learn how to hunt...and fight off monsters.
Speaking of the monsters, they're not too hard for the beginning. All the bats will do is carry people off, so you won't have to worry about too much. One of the lairs, however, will carry some sort of white dragons that will destroy parts of the town if it gets too close to civilization. Just hit the bats and white dragons with an arrow whenever you see them.
It also won't be long before you get an offering: a Bomb. It's not just a bomb, it's a "Bomb!" Using it will get rid of all the monsters currently onscreen during Sim Mode. Thankfully, Fillmore's Sim Mode is easy, so hold on to it and don't use it just yet.
To burn the bushes, select the Lightning from the Miracles menu, and select the 4x4 area of land that has bushes in it. (The lightning won't destroy trees, so don't try.) If you run out of SP to use the Lightning, destroy monsters with the Angel's arrows and wait for the hourglass in the upper right to run out of time.
