I posted that on a gaming forum once and got banned for ****. ^^;

Oh, and to avoid creating a pointless topic I'll just use this one: I purchased Bioshock the other day. Best experience yet.

Nothing beats running through an underwater city full of crazy splicers.

It sort of dragged on towards the end, after the big twist, but it was still one of the better gaming experiences I've had.

I'm with you on that one!

Yea, I'm interested in that as well. I still haven't gone through Breath of Fire 2 yet though. I feel like I'm just collecting all my old games out of nostalgia. It'll be interesting to see how this holds up. I thought it was awesome when I first played it, but that was also 12 years ago.

back to the subject though, Im glad I finally get to have a chance to beat this thing (Super Mario RPG, that is)!

I really enjoyed that game as a kid. It was...almost magical.

I preordered Chrono trigger when I picked up my copy of the Dragon quest 4 remake.

I'm waiting on Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility. Please stop pushing back release dates.

Plus my wife really wants the cow plushie.

I wanted a SNES so bad, but my parents wouldn't get me one since they had just bought me a new PC. I was rockin a IBM 486 SX/25, playing King's Quest, Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, etc.

snadam

That list seems pretty complete. For once I can't think of any that they may have missed. I'm currently working on finishing Der Langrisser and yet another try at Tales of Phantasia.

Chronotrigger was fun but it wasn't like the end all of RPGs. I hold Final Fantasy 3 (numbering on the SNES) to be higher standing than Chronotrigger.

+1, ff6 (ff3 in US) is still my fav. RPG of all time.

Mishra, wasn't FF3 the one where you eventually went up to a sky world? Right before that happened, I completely sold off everything in my inventory. Unfortunately, all the gear for people not in my party was in my inventory, so they were all unequiped. Then I had to play with them when I went up there, and they just died in one hit every time. I didn't have any other saves and there was no place to get more gear haha. That =

That sounds like Secret of Mana, ff3 is the one where you go to Kefka's Tower.

The list looks good. It includes some of my favorites, aside from the mainstream FF and Chrono Trigger series, I also loved Earthbound, Illusion of Gaia, and the Breath of Fire series. I was also a HUGE fan of the Lufia games, but I was a little sad to see they left Robotrek and Secret of Evermore off the listing.

KGhaleon

Soulblazer, terranigma and illusion of gaia were great games.

Earthbound was an absolute blast -- do you remember the scented cards the game originally came with? Oh, the memories...

KGhaleon

I remember the scented advertisement that Nintendo Power sent out on the game.

*does a peter griffin expression*
That didn't smell like pizza at all.

I think you are the first person I have ever seen mention Illusion of Gaia. That is one of my all-time favorites. I'm with you on the rest of the list as well. Earthbound rocked!

What can I say? I spent most of my childhood rotting in front of the television, but at least I worked up my hand-eye coordination.

Now, for the real hardcore EB fans. . . what flavor was your menu screen? (Mine was always peanut butter.) And I did get the whole pack with the strategy guide, the scratch-and-sniff stickers, and I collected a whole bunch of them from Game Players magazine, which I subscribed to when EB came out. Here's something for the truly nostalgic.
