Hydlide 2 isn't bad, but a bit grindy, and Hydlide 3D is awful, but actually had some interesting concepts. As for the original I've seen a couple of reviewers cover it. I think ProJared and AVGN did videos on it, and both though it was pretty crazy and stupid, but not only in basic old school ways that are expected, there are actually a lot of crazy secret stuff to continue that I'm not sure many normal people would have figured out back in the day. I imagine most people have fond memories of it simply because it is attached to their childhood. I wonder if anyone who was an actual adult remembers it as fondly from back then
