The Coop Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Gonna have to disagree with 7th Saga - don't touch this game, to beat the game you need luck on your side...literally. Grind baby grind! I'm used to grinding early on in RPGs. So that by the time you hit the "past" section, you'll be in good shape. If you try to blow through it... well, you're fucked. Quote
Bahamut Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Well my problem is that even if you grind, it still becomes a game of luck because your adversaries also become even more increasingly strong in some instances. Quote
The Coop Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Well, if the enemies stayed weak, you'd blow through it all in a heart beat. You need the tougher enemies to keep the game challenging as you get better weapons, armor and magic. I do know what you mean though. The game can be brutal, and seem unfair at times. But... I enjoyed it. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Two last recommendation (ugh, I keep remembering awesome stuff!) First, get SNES Zelda. You're an idiot if you get a system and don't play this on it. Second, consider buying a Super Game Boy if you can find it. Use it with these (and other) Game Boy games: Donkey Kong (The best use of the SGB easily, and the only game I know that enables FULL color as a result of using it). This plays like the coinop remixed, not like DKC if you didn't know. Link's Awakening (NOT the color DX version, the black and white original) Megaman V (The unique Gameboy release -- MM 1-4 on GB is just the NES bosses with remixed levels). Quote
prophetik music Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 so i got one from some trailer trash on craigslist last night. paid 50$ for the console, one good controller, one that's got a chew mark on the cord and kind of works, the cabling (the rf adapter, unfortunately, not the real cables), one of those game rack things, and the following games. there are some duplicates, dunno why. family feud california games II top gear road runner's death valley rally terminator 2 lion king vegas stakes dinocity home alone 2 super off road: the baja college football 97 nhl 94 super r-type pga tour 96 monopoly (x2) super mario world (x3, one's got the name in the middle of the top instead of starting on the left) tecmo super bowl super mario all stars donkey kong country 2 f-zero killer instict ken griffey jr. presents major league baseball yoshi's safari uncharted waters street fighter II gradius III zombies ate my neighors and a super game boy with link's awakening in it. i'm planning on keeping the super mario games, f-zero, super r-type, gradius, tecmo super bowl, zamn (not sure it works right), donkey kong, and monopoly. any reason i should save more of them?

Gollgagh Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 btw, chances are that you could use gamecube cables to connect the thing so you might try that if you have a gamecube Quote
prophetik music Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 i do, but the cables are with the gamecube =) i'll try the local game store. Quote

Cerrax Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's IslandStunt Race FX Super Castlevania IV (I don't care if you're not into Castlevania, this is required playing) Mega Man X1-X3 (Same as above) F-Zero Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (don't shun it because it's not like the rest: It's still a good game) U.N. Squadron (you need this, if only for the soundtrack. It's amazing) Zombies Ate My Neighbors You are my new best friend. Especially for the UN Squadron comment. Fucking amazing tunes in that game.

A-RoN Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Don't forget to add Earthbound to your collection if you're an RPG-head. Quote
Dhsu Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Link's Awakening (NOT the color DX version, the black and white original) What's the difference (besides color)? Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 What's the difference (besides color)? Truth be told, I don't recall if the color version works with the Super Gameboy or not, and I didn't want him to get something that wouldn't work. The color version is the superior version of the game in most respects: there's an added dungeon, and the warp glitch is removed. No matter what, it's a Zelda game from the era where the franchise defined excellence in videogames. Brad, I'd keep the Lion King (which was a surprisingly decent game) and Super GB Zelda in addition to what you mentioned in your list. Try to add Uniracers and SNES Zelda, and you'll have a pretty good set of games to start with. Quote
Flare4War Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I remember R-Type and Final Fight being very fun. I would recommend Killer Instinct but you said you you don't like fighting games. Since you said you like RPG's I have to recommend Mystic Quest. Fun game and a really, really good soundtrack. Brainlord was/is one of my favorite games ever released on the SNES. Quote
Gollgagh Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Brad, I'd keep the Lion King (which was a surprisingly decent game) and Super GB Zelda in addition to what you mentioned in your list. also if you don't keep the super gameboy, I'll buy it off you Quote
linkspast Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Brad, I'd keep the Lion King B A R R Y 10char Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Don't forget to add Earthbound to your collection if you're an RPG-head. Are there carts of that floating around? I used to be pretty heavy in the whole used-game stream and I've only ever seen one cart - the one I ended up buying. Quote
Josh Whelchel Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Kirby Motherfucking Super Star.Terranigma and Earthbound are supposed to be good, but I've never really had the chance to get into them. Same with Secret of Mana. Contra III. Super Punch-Out. Link to the Past. Not going to recommend Super Metroid because I actually didn't like it much, but I'm sure someone will. All of this and Lufia 2. Especially Kirby. Geeeez. Quote
Abadoss Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 There are actually two working carts of Earthbound at my local game shop. They're, of course, about $85 bucks a piece, but I could pick one up for someone and mail it to them if they paid me in advance... they have one of the Lufias, too, but I'm not sure which one... Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Bah. I picked up Earthbound with Dragon Quests III and IV for $100 years ago. If it was new, I'd say get it, otherwise that cart and all the stuff inside it is 15 years old and has probably seen just as long use, abuse, and wear. I'd skip it unless that money was literally burning a hole in your pocket and you didn't own any other pants at home (which, of course is idiotic since pants are much cheaper and easier to obtain in every size. Yes, even the astronomical ones.) Quote

Apparently, the guy who sold it to the store was a collector or something (obviously, he wasn't too bright on the monetary value end) and the carts are in perfect condition. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Oh, well then by all means, get it before some Ebay shister picks it up. Edit: Sorry, for a second I completely forgot about the context of what we're talking about. If you think that's weird, you should see me do it in real time. Quote
Salluz Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Castlevania: Dracula X (Action Platformer) If I was having sex and I heard this title, I would ejaculate prematurely. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Shit, I got two copies of Dracula X SNES carts. Didn't cost me $20 for both. That game gets so much shit, but man I couldn't live without them. Quote
