Its a fucking great one. Probably the best Zelda game tho i also love Link's Awakening and Ocarina in 3D. If you like that btw, ever check out the (original) Alundra for PS1? Its a spiritual successor to Landstalker (Gen) but plays just like a more mature zelda with some real tough puzzles and more adult content. I know they made Alundra 2 but it looked so different i never gave it a chance

ALTTP is my favorite Zelda title, hands down. Certainly a bias, won't deny lol. I actually really, really enjoy the original as well. Same with Zelda II on the NES; very unique title regardless of the franchise it belongs to. That one took some time to yield its magic.

Ocarina used to be my favorite. Link's Awakening is great. I actually think I prefer Oracle of Seasons the best on the GameBoy Color as far as those ones go. Minish Cap was AWESOME on the GBA! I'm totally a Zelda fan boi.

I love zelda. And i LOVE Zelda II: Link's Adventure, which is way underrated cause of the 2d thing. But i really suggest for you to also check out Alundra. Youd prolly love it. I know i did, precisely because of A Link To The Past. This game works very well with epsxe if you dont have a ps1

And the original, Landstalker, for genesis (not pictured) youd prolly like too



Thats part of the town in Alundra. It has one main town center like Diablo and the rest of the world is unexplored and is gradually opened up as you get items like shit that can lift boulders, etc. ya know, same type of thing as Link to the Past. But theres more murder and mystery and id say its a more difficult game, in a good way. Some real mindfucking puzzles. I had to whip out a walkthrough for one part that i was stuck on for like a month (i really try not to)

I will take your suggestion and look into that title, my friend! Visually, it reminds me of Chrono Trigger/Illusion of Gaia, which is a huge plus! Mid 90's lol.

Thank you :sunny:. Happy gaming!

Master System was just before my time; I never had any relatives, neighbors, or school mates that had one! Everyone still had the NES, and the obvious SNES and Genesis by the time I was coming to, lol. I got my first home console, the model 2 Sega Genesis, in early 1994.

Before that I just played everyone else's! :sunny:

I DID however get a Sega Saturn for Christmas '96. Everyone had Playstation. I wanted the Saturn. Had some of the same games, plus SEGA exclusives, which I was a fanboi for. I'm so glad I went with the Saturn, because PS1 shit is so much easier to find/more affordable than the Saturn shit these days!

This is where the retro gamers be at. Hi everyone :wave:

I fucking love retro.

I just finished The Legend of Zelda the Oracle of Ages again. I know it's not the most popular game in the series but it's my personal favourite, closely followed by Link's Awakening. God the new remake for Switch makes me want to buy a Switch!

Alundra is on my todo list right now too. It's in my rom library but i have so many roms too, some i know are good games and want to replay and many i want to play for the first time. I still haven't gotten around to Alundra yet.
Heres a long video that talks about hw fucking awesome it really is. If you don't have a lot of time, just watch a little. That's what i did. It'll show how cool (and frustrating) this game may be.

I'm super keen for it (when i'm in the right mood).
If you ever begin playing it, it'd be cool to start playing it too so we could talk about it and stuff. No rush though, i have a million other games i want to play too. If you don't want to, that's cool too man, no pressure, games are about enjoyment, so if you wouldn't enjoy that setting i'd understand.

I know I'm over a month late but you mentioned dos and I don't know anyone else who cares

Check out classicreload.com

Has every single dos game I personally had ever heard of and then another 5950 more

Shout out to all my Chrono fans. Just did a play through with a friend for his first time. He's a huge pc fps guy and was putting it off thinking it was a boring shit of a game. He fucking loved it

Great link and welcome to the party, it's never too late for nostalgia my friend!

Chrono is classic. I need to replay it. I have the ROM right here...maybe that'll give me something to do during downtime today?

TONS of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Arcade for me all week:

Classic Reload is cool. I need to get Kingdom O Magic (96 Dos game that satires pulp fiction and all sorts of cool shit, with a big open world, many characters, just an awesome adventure) to work again. Out of ALL the old dos games that’s the one I really want to play. Though in 96 it could have come out for windows. It’s notoriously hard to get working, was even harder with older versions of windows. I got Dosbox to run it in small screen once after like an hour of trying commands and different ways of mounting the cd etc. on the other hand, many games work real easily with dosbox. Gonna give it another shot

PS: when it comes to Dos, I care! I truly love playing the classics. I even play MUDs, don’t know any irl friends who are even into those in 2019. To them, classic is WoW Lich King. Which also is fun to play on private servers but nowadays there are so many copycats anyway

And I love Chrono Trigger. I actually really liked Chrono Cross too but obv it’s not of the same caliber. I think someone was making a true CT snes rom-hack sequel but were told to cease and desist.

As far as Alundra I feel like im gonna play through it again after many many years and maybe gonna give Alundra 2 a shot. And the frustrating parts in Alundra1 are most definitely the puzzles midway through the game, they’re really tough sometimes. I got to a point where it was essentially impossible without a walkthrough during my initial play through long ago (I try to not cheat, but was absolutely stuck)

I never got to play Cross sadly. Been meaning to buy a copy because for some reason its a pretty weird one to get all things working correctly when emulated.

And the cease and desist game was called Chrono Resurrection. full 3D remake. I followed that from beginning to end and I am STILL so pissed about it

You missed out, bro! Entire soundtrack for free on a separate CD!

KI was fun at the time. When I revisit it I find it’s basically a mortal kombat clone. But as with GTA now, MK back then was often cloned. Games like Primal Rage come to mind. I miss the Simpsons Arcade Game! For a while they weren’t making any beat em up games like Simpsons or Golden Axe. Luckily that’s changed now with games like Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs, both open world beat em ups. So the genre has not just revived but advanced.

Mostly I’m into rpgs, particularly jrpgs of the ps1 era (snes as well). I think besides the FF games, I find the best rpg for ps1 to be Xenogears. Also criminally underrated. Huge, long game with great story, gigantic world map, anime, and a combat system that plays a like a turn based fighting game. Another one that gets forgotten at times is Star Ocean. I also love Persona which actually has gotten more popular lately with 5 and the 3DS releases

Apparently was always popular in Japan. I blame the first game’s Americanization, changing the whole environment to better fit the US.

Parasite Eve was a great one too, so many amazing ps1 rpgs

I also do love the western OG rpgs. Morrowind, Baldur, Planescape Torment, Fallout 2, tons of em

Yes everything was indeed an MK clone, but that's because that shit moved units! :cool: It only makes sense. Some of those games were god awful; ClayFighter 63 1/2 LOL. Primal Rage was ok on  the Saturn from my memory. What was that other one that had fatalities on the N64, War Gods I think (Kabuki Joe or some shit LOL). Simpson's arcade ruled! I enjoyed Tekken and Virtua Fighter a bit, but nowhere near as much as MK 1-UMK3.

The PS1 was a MONSTER for RPGs! Arguably the single-best console for them. I refurbished a beat up, tarnished PS1 this past summer and I just need a controller and memory card. Those are easy enough to find these days. Never owned Xenogears but I need to play it!

Ever play Ogre Battle on SNES/PS1, Fractal420?

oh shit Clayfighters! I remember even just loving the snes original. That was like the “Saint’s Row 3” of MK. Absurd and lots of fun

The N64 one was good too.

I played Tactics Ogre, if that’s at all the same thing (Japanese rename?}. Are those different games? I like the whole Tactical RPG genre. Vandal Hearts was a great one that is easily forgotten it seems. I like that one more than FF Tactics prolly or at least on par.

And the Genesis Shining series would fall under that category too
