I’m about to commit blasphemy:
Y’all can keep the Castlevania. I’ll take the rest.
Aria’s the best one, anyway
Suddenly surrounded by spears, pitchforks and one torch
I mean uh, um,… “What is a man!?”
spears lower
I don’t disagree with you. Symphony of the Night is exceptional but Aria and Dawn are so, so good.
Simon is on his way to your castle as we speak.
Sorry Simon, but the princess is in another castle.
No Plok? They both suck.
Holy shit I haven’t thought about that game in forever! It was hard AF as I recall.
Both have great taste!
And are less filling!
Fine. I’ll do it myself.
Oh, I think you mean final fantasy 6! Lol
I’m about to play the new retranslation once I finish with 7.
I’m just about done with 7 again. Hadn’t played it since the 90"s. Still pretty good.
Spoiler
I’m now fluffing my team up like mad so I can defeat Emerald amd Ruby. After that it’s just an easy endgame fight with sephiroth, so I’m really close to almost done.
I have actual never finished it. I’d get close to the end of disk 1 and then life would catch up.
You need a good amount of life not getting in the way for it. Thats for sure. How far are you this time?
Just past where disk 1 ends, 40 hours. I’m running a slightly modded PC version on Linux just for fixes.
stop trying to find someone who likes what you like and hates what you hate. try to find someone who you enjoy anyway and treats you well.
To a point yes but having nothing in common is tiring really.
Sometimes it’s better to have different tastes. My ex and I liked the opposite flavors of gummy bears. It was so convenient. lol
Your ex you said? #joking
Yeah, but the end wasn’t gummy bear related. lol
Sometimes the universe has other plans.
I say this as someone who never stopped looking until I found a gaming buddy in a partner. When every night is a date, lan party, and sleepover all at once… I certainly can’t tell you what’s important to you, just never settle.
I feel like gaming is something you both want to have in common if either of you really enjoy it. Otherwise it seems like it usually turns into a problem.
You can’t really decide what others want in life.
100%
It’s also nice to have shared interests. But I have friends to chat with about the latest Final Fantasy game.
So they meet in the middle at Actraiser?
Excellent game.
One of my favorites. I replay it every few years when I think about it again.
Too bad about the sequels…
I have not heard that name in a long time. … Long time.
I still whistle the music every so often.
Me too
My brother and I split the SNES when it came out (presumably with money our parents gave us because we were just kids), but he got gifted Super Mario RPG. And he held that shit over my head, and we didn’t get a long, and he never let me play, and so it kinda solidified itself as my favorite game of all time, because it had this forbidden nature for me.
Putting all that aside, it was just a well made game, great pacing, great mechanics. I got the Switch version and I’m hoping to get my kids into it, but it’s hard to compete with the looks of modern games, especially since my kids are young.
My copy did something weird and wouldn’t let me get one particular hidden chest after the first playthrough. Heartbreaking.
Is it the one in the castle you have to ride on a Toad’s head to get? That one’s missable.
Yeah, that one’s tricky, but there’s also a later one that requires you to jump to reveal a hidden platform but the platform wouldn’t reveal itself when I jumped into it, even though I got it the first run and could see Mario bump into it in air so I knew I had the right spot.
I can only assume there was some weirdly specific glitch or damage 🤷♂️
That sounds like the entrance to the casino. That one’s tricky, but I doubt it’s messed up on your cartridge.
Its the second Land’s End one here:

For some reason the hidden platform just won’t activate anymore. It’s entirely possible I’m just missing some detail but like I said, worked fine the first time.
Until the other person pronounces it sness instead of s.n.e.s.
Ess Ness was always my silly way of pronouncing it, because there’s Ness, for N-E-S, and if you add an S, it’s S-Ness.
I accept sillynes
Thumbs up
Okay wow rude. How I say it is my bizsness
You’ve made an enemy today. We could have been friends.
You’ll never be rid of me 🙂
I find both acceptable, but s.n.e.s to be too complicated. Somehow, “Super Nintendo” rolls off the tongue for me.
There’s also “snezz” and “Super N.E.S.”, Along with all the other permutations of pronouncing NES, lol
Weirdos policing people’s childhoods
Wackos thinking anyone is “policing” your childhood.
If you take offense to anything in this post you need to sit down and rethink a lot of things about yourself.
Wishing you luck

Super Mario World where?
Everybody likes that.
True true. I did think that everyone liked DK as well but I could be wrong
Love seeing Terranigma here. Such a great hidden gem. If you’re a fan of Secret of Evermore or Illusion of Gaia, check it out.
Have I got this straight in my head:
Illusion of Gaia was the second in a trilogy: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and a third one that wasn’t released in North America. And was that third one Terranigma or a different game?
Followed by Granstream Saga.
Holy shit I played the fuck out of this game as a kid. Completely forgot it existed until just now. I wonder how badly it’s aged
I’ve never played it, but judging by videos of gameplay, pretty badly. Most 3D games from that era have.
It was Terranigma.
Sounds right to me. Thanks for reminding me about my abandoned Soul Blazer playthrough 😬.
Edit: Shout out to Enix being awesome before the merger.
Soul Blazer is a melancholy game. You start it up and the world has been emptied of beings, throughout the game you restore beings to existence, and yet it doesn’t cheer up.
Me too.
The theme music from this game is seared into my neurons
They’re both correct.
Hook up the old super nintendo and start asking questions like “Hey did you ever play Lufia?”
Lufia? I rented it from the video rental store back in the day. I never finished it, but I enjoyed the game.
Look into Lufia 2, it is one of the rare cases of a sequel being shockingly better than the first game. It is the only SNES RPG I put in the same class as those from Square or Enix, and I like it more than most of those.
, it is one of the rare cases of a sequel being shockingly better than the first game.
I feel like this happens (or at least used to happen) regularly in video games.
Yeah, I suppose that was true in the 80s and 90s for sure. Now that I think about it, I can name a several right off the top of my head and probably every Final Fantasy game was like that until 7 or at least 8.
So, Lufia is a LONG game. It’s got fairly limited graphics and sound for a SNES game but it packs in a lengthy quest. It feels almost wrong to offer that one as a rental.
Mega man X soundtrack lives rent free in my head, along with the first scene that crushed me as a child.
This is 2, not X, but you might still appreciate this live play. https://youtu.be/MUHlVdqRlPA
