/vr/ - Retro Games

Ya damn kids and yer fancy new vidgagames!!
.
Seriously though, vidya is the ONE medium that kids should start in the NES/SMS days and work they're way up. With occasional breaks for actual arcade and a couple Atari/Coleco marathons per year.
.
I know it's probably stupid, but you lil bastards don't understand.
It's hard to relay info and experiences about the early days to the retro haters. The OG retro haters were there right along with us, but not playing though, cause they hated videogames anyway.

Alright, challenge accepted.
-You have to complete the game while the game itself tries to stop you.
-Yes, yes it does.
-Time travel done in an interesting way for one. Team attacks. Never saw it before, haven't seen it since, except the Disgaea series. No random battles was sweet.
-Depends on the age of the player. But It's an RPG sooooo traverse the world, grinding levels and looking for hidden items, characters and abilities.
-Yup, save points everywhere you need em. Sorry, no autosave in this generation. Checkpoints, but this is an rpg, not an action game.
-Yup. Depends on levels, which characters you have/don't have(Mainly Chrono and Magus) It's possible to beat the game(from about halfway) without the main character. It's not a linear game by any means. 26 endings!!! and one of them can be done within the first hour and a half if you're good enough

NEXT!!

Story, eh? Alright, I'll bite.

-Made me think about history as a whole and our place in time. How my, and others actions, can affect the future.
-After looking through history books and whatnot, it's made realize that people haven't really changed in the past 8000 years or so.
-If it makes people think about their actions, if it makes kids respect their parents more, if it makes people diligent in how they accomplish tasks, then yes.
-Assuming everything was the same for everybody was a foolish mistake 9 year old me never made again.
-It dictates what can happen if arrogance is allowed to rule for too long. First the Saurians, then the Magi, then the Mystics, then the Future people, all lost to the threads of time and fate.
-It's a videogame; so yes. Whether or not it MEANS to is debatable.

There.
