Well...They're ROMs...but that still counts, yeah?
Okay, it started out because I wanted to play an actual RPG because I haven't picked up LoD or VS in a while and both feel awefully daunting now...as RPGs tend to after leaving them to gather dust for so long. The same thing happened to me w/FFVI (back in the days of SNES, when I knew it as FFIII). I had it saved right before the Kefka battle, but for some reason had never beaten the bastard. I booted it up (on Christmas day) and blew through it using Ultima & double Bum Rushes (that's w/Gogo). It was probably one of the best Christmases ever...er...but I'm getting off-track...
Since I'm using a friend's comp, I decided that I needed to recheck out some of the ROMs I had been playing (before my stupid comp went caput). I decided upon the Phantasy Star games 2-4 since I hadn't really given them much chance and remembered thinking they were ok (if not just better than PS1, which dungeons pissed me off to no end).
So I got a Genesis Emulator and downloaded the ROMs...then remembered that there were Shining Force games on Genesis, scooped those up...and then I thought to myself for a while...
On my old comp, I was severely limited to what I could download because of space restraints...but with this new computer...I had gigabites I could fill!!! So, I thought, what would be an average Emulator that I could download and probably find good games for? Well, heck, I've always wanted to fully explore thems Pokemon games! and thus I downloaded a GBA Emulator, talked w/DivineDragoonKain a lot via AIM and decided to download Leaf Green & Fire Red. I went through the vast depths of at least three of the internets and found that there were many more GBA RPGs I wanted to play...so I got...
Pokemon Emerald
Pokemon Yellow (a GBC game...but it runs on GBA because of backwards compatibility)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls
Golden Sun
Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Lufia: The Ruins of Lore
So, yeah...I've kind of been playing them all in and out...Did I mention I really have nothing else to do? Well, yeah, there's that...Funny thing is, I downloaded all of these games after Pokemon, but I always end up back at Leaf Green, Fire Red, Emerald, & Yellow at the end of the day...The other games just aren't as fun...
What do you guys think of these games?
Also, if anyone wants a ROM or Emulator, I can hand out some really good links (the site i use normally has many different language versions of many GBA & other ROMs) via PM.
