I never played Shining Force but the Bible teacher in my high school used to talk about it (some kind of really old school RPG series, if I remember correctly?)

 

[Swan7]

Shining Force was awesome!

 

[mojoboy31]

[jacknife]

Good thing about youtube........ there is ALWAYS someone that has played it and recorded it.

Shining Force was awesome!

Yes, it was awesome.

To me it was one of few that were better than Final Fantasy games of the time.

I also found Sword of Vermilion which, for its time was my favorite soundtrack of the videogames of its time.

 

[Toro]

You kids and your pokemon stuff.

I've never played a single pokemon thing.

 

[SarahsKnight]

beat resident evil 2 today tooke me like 5 hours lol.

Aw, man. 5 hours? You suck. .... Just kidding. It took me like, 20 total hours of playing time, I think, when I first tried to play it. That was my first Resident Evil experience ever, though, where I had no idea what to expect, so I guess I can see why. Strangely, after a week or two of borrowing my neighbor's copy of Resident Evil 2, I finally beat it on the same week where my parents had two beautiful girls in their mid-to-late twenties from my home church come babysit me while they went off on a second honeymoon trip to somewhere in Mexico. Good memories, I must say.

I have to admit, my parents were really awesome to not give it a second thought, leaving me as a young teen who only recently discovered late-night Cinemax, alone in the care of two college-age women for almost an entire week.

Sorry, I always just start remembering weird little things associated with first-time gaming experiences. I don't know why.

... Whoa. That good, huh? Because classic Final Fantasy around that time was well nigh beyond reproach.

Perhaps it's available on Steam somewhere? I should check on that, because Steam games are almost always very cheap even when not on sale, especially really old stuff.

EDIT: Yup. Sure enough, it's available for 3 lousy dollars. Heck, why not?


(To be sure it's understood, everyone, I know I have been out of work the last few months, but, don't worry; this is still my own money I am spending, here, not my mother's or anything. I know that sounds a bit paranoid of me, but, one thing as an adult that I would certainly hate to be thought of is a lazy moocher.)

Oh yeah my dad would just buy games for me he thought i would like. Thats how i ended up with games like Silent hill and Resident Evil when I was like 12. Good times I knew kids who even when they were like 16 couldn't play m rated games.

I love the game, however its not my favorite. (I think it was a close tie though, its been a LONG time)

My favorite would probably be either Chrono Trigger or this one game I cant for the life of me remember(It was an obscure game for super nintendo.)

Chrono Cross was sadly a horrible game.... I DID like the intro though.

The game wasn't horrible, but the way it was put together - yes. Why they thought it was a good idea for the princess to be all pirate like? No idea and a bad idea. I couldn't stand her accent.
The ending however was sad. Great music, but sad.

 

[mojoboy31]

@Toro , you're missing out, my friend. The Pokémon games are terrific rpgs with vast environments, loads of charm, amd an insane amount of things to do.

Well, maybe thats what it was....... I just remember hating it having the Chrono name and being that disappointing.

Ya know Swanny you seem to have played all the games I did growing up.

So, what obscure SNES game is it thats my favorite that I can't remember?
