Eh...In retrospect, I guess it was a stupid question to ask. Wadjet and Coatl amount to "Green One" and "Serpent" in their respective languages so it only makes sense that "Winged Snake" in English is "Winged Snake". I'll stick to Wyrm as it's the closest thing that sounds remotely exotic.

Bit late, but also found this guy, which is described as a "winged snake" half the time, though most of the pictures seem to give it chicken legs.

I've mentioned it before, and it's maybe a bit into "so bad it's good" territory, but there's an Xbox360 game called "Operation Darkness" that is just too ridiculous to not love at least a little bit unironically.

It's a tactical RPG set in WWII with supernatural elements. It's a game where you can transform into a werewolf wielding a bazooka and use it to blow up enemy tanks and nazi vampires (werewolf bazooka is stronger than human-form bazooka of course). It's a game where you can use white-haired pretty boy Jack the Ripper to shank skeletons from 5 squares away. Shoot fireballs at snipers. Try to assassinate Hitler (spoilers: He is magic.) It does all this while doing its best at playing the story dead straight with serious drama and lots of very british voice acting.

It was apparently pretty much panned due to terrible graphics and an overall veneer of shittiness, and actually playing it is, admittedly, a bit of a slog, but it's still one of the best $9.99s ever jokingly spent for me by a friend.

Also your medic is named Herbert East.

I could actually probably use a visual novel or two soon, since I can't currently use a controller/mouse/keyboard heavily for long periods...
I assume the controls aren't too intensive?

I've read the rules and would like to enter, thanks.

I've been on and off for months and i've got no further then the orcish mines.

I've been playing on and off for 6 years and I've yet to reach Zot.

To be fair, I'm apparently just incredibly terrible at this sort of game. At least it's continually getting easier, so eventually I might meet it in the middle. (note: I am slightly bitter about this)

Yeah, they all need batteries to hold a save, and Pokémon GSC specifically had their batteries all go kaput years ago because the real time clock drained them more than usual.
A lot of old cartridge games in general are probably getting iffy on that front by now.

I also once bought a brand new GBA game that probably had a faulty battery, couldn't hold a save.

spent about half of both days just wandering Raleigh

For some reason I mentally parsed that as "R'lyeh" while reading this post and was momentarily disoriented.

This train of thought also means that bacteria and bugs are vastly more highly evolved beings than humans.
