In Japan (on the Famicom) it actually came out as a "Famicom Disk System" game instead of a normal Famicom game... They added the Battery Pack for America because they decided that Americans wouldn't buy the extra Disk System add-on...The advantage? The Disk System games still can save... Most of the battery backup cartridges have dead batteries and no longer can save a game from one session to the next...
It helps that I've played through most of the game like 100 times at minimum...
I would have loved to get a pick on the back end. They should have some great value picks before it drops off imo.
GREAT pick... This is #1 in the "hero" category and it isn't even close... 200 games, best selling, most recognizable character of ALL Time and it isn't even close. If anything, that Video Game Mt. Rushmore could arguably only be Mario (say, it should be a Video Game "Crazy Horse")...However, you are wrong. Mario has, in fact, been the villain in at least 1 game... I won't mention what game it is, but He has been a villain....
Excellent choice. I was introduced to Civ through the SNES of all things. I bought the PC version soon after as well as PSX version and all the subsequent sequals. Civ II definitely redefined a genre.1.07 Civilization II Strategy/RTS ( might as well get this genre pick out of the way.)It's impossible to think in a turn-based strategy game and forget Civilization II. It's undoubtedly the best in the genre, and even many years after its release there are lots of fans still playing Civ II.The game is not graphically stunning, even for it's time but the game itself is so in depth so engrossing that you probably won't notice too much.
its sort of happened like 6 or 7 times already....
The best part was his offensive attempt at an Italian accent - I made him say trick or treat in character.
This is a great game...HOWEVER, I don't understand all the hype... For the life of me I can't understand how its top 10... Top 50? Without a doubt... But top 10? I don't see it...
I've been told I do a spot on impression too. I entertained a bunch of high school aged girls one night who were looking at Mario action figures in a store as I walked by with my daughter and I said "It's-a me! Mario!" I continued and their favorite line was "Oh no! The princess is in another castle? She betta not be!" Of course, the girls could've just been laughing at how nerdy I was, but I don't care. My daughter was loving it.
Yes, because letting me pass includes having 5 of my top 10 getting picked before I pick... lolOh I'm up?
This is my #2 overall, although #1 in my heart.
I'd say 4th or 5th, depending on what you define as "Final Fantasy"...
The game is fantastic imo, I wouldn't expect our lists to match up anyway.
Do you want it to be fourth generation or rpg? You can change it later.
Sorry, meant to bold 4th Gen., put it there for now.
This pick is what I thought about stealing. I knew you'd pick it.
It is the greatest game of all time...And I don't see how it didn't set out to be that... I mean, did you see the people that Square got to work together on that game? Its ridiculous... Also one of only a small handful of games I've played over and over and over again in my life, and most of those gamesa are already taken (Mario 1, Mario 3, Civ II, Zelda I, Chrono Trigger)...
Nintendo Seal of Quality is helpful... There are a TON of great NES games, its actually kind of ridiculous the percentage of NES games that are good...
I know, my problem is that I never owned a NES, so I have very little knowledge about many of the games besides the very top shelf ones. When platformers can be from any generation, it just opens up my options later on in the draft.
I agree. I really wish Square would take a break from the Final Fantasy franchise and maybe try to make a new Chrono game. I know there are many that feel that they would simply screw it up, but the original game would still be great and a bad 3rd game can't take that away.
as much as I wish I could get a new Chrono game...But it won't be the same if we don't have the same kind of "Dream Team" involved...Either way, I'd almost rather just have a similar "Dream Team" come together and make a game...Oh, and I'm also excited about the new Wii RPG (Last Story) by Hironobu Sakaguchi... He has directed 5 games in his career, and they were all called "Final Fantasy" (note: not worried about spotlighting those games since they've been named as existing through Final Fantasy VII's selection)... It looks really good, plus its on the Wii so I can get it...
This pick should be accompanied with video footage if you can find it, to help justify the pick. Especially if there is a great review of it.
I understand. I agree with your love of Chrono Trigger. I've only played a couple of RPGs that have sucked me in from the beginning. And Chrono Trigger was the first one to do that and hook me til the end. Most of them are a bit of a chore to start and get better as you move on. Those are the ones I have a hard time playing, as I sometimes get into something else during that starting period and I never return.
That's how it is. On Monday we start using a clock. I just started the thread early because we had the people, but we were planned to have it going on Monday.
It's essentually the same game, with the DS giving the option of having touch controls. You don't have to play the SNES version to fully enjoy it, as it's mostly unchanged from the original. Plus, you'll spend a lot less with the DS version, as the SNES version is rare to come by and highly sought after, so it comes with a high price tag.
DS version is the same game with, i believe, an added side-quest at the end and a post-game dungeon and some multi-player add-on that doesn't effect the game other than giving you mega powerful equiptment (no change to story)...the PSX version packed with another classic game is awesome, but you need an actual PSX to play it, you can't play it on a PS2 or it will freeze constantly and mess up your save data and stuff...
its both (you can turn active battle on and off) if I remember correctly...this is going to sound crazy, but play it even if you haven't played many turn based RPGs and it is more turn-based than you generally like, its that good...
