Game description: Solve the puzzles or join the tormented souls forever. You are Ico, a boy ostracized and entombed for being born with horns, as he solves a variety of puzzles to escape from a dangerous castle. Ico can leap over precipices and battle shadow wraiths and ethereal creatures with a swing of his walking staff. With the help of his friend Yorda, Ico encounters many mysteries in his quest but one daunting question always remains: Is there ever a way out of this strange place?
Ico weaves the tale of a young boy trying to escape his imprisonment in a large, vacant castle. Along the way he discovers another captive, a beautiful princess named Yorda. The player controls Ico with the goal of escaping the castle with the princess safely in hand.

 Lighting is misaligned when upscaling if you don't set half pixel offset to normal (vertex), but this causes glitchy bars to appear in the top and right edges of the screen. Increasing the zoom to 102.60% hides the bars. Some lag in cutscenes that show Yorda in a cage (only happened three times, twice towards the beginning of the game and once at the ending), otherwise full speed. Intro FMV has a glitchy border in hardware mode, but not in software mode. Fully playable. PandoraGTX
