/vr/ - Retro Games

I forgot how great these were. I'm going through TR1 atm, but I can't wait to get to the 1st level in TRII. It was one of the first games I ever played on my PSX Christmas Morning. It came as a demo with many other great games like Parappa, Armored Core, Intelligent Qube, etc. It took me a long time to master the pit and I figured the demo would end once I got to the tower at the top but I was surprised and excited that there was more and got a really challenging but fun game to play. We immediately bought the first one and got through that before I made one of my best friends over this tiger at recess one day in school. He kept telling me about this game I already played where you can kill a tiger. He never believed you could get out of that hole in the beginning, but I told him it was possible to get out of that hole and I was going to prove it to him by going over to his house to play PlayStation with him. I made it past the pit and choked at the wall spikes at the end of the demo, but we both decided to play through it together, sharing memory cards to copy each other's games to help each other get past levels one of us couldn't handle and fucking up the Secrets since I never collected them. We fucked up Barkhang Monastery right away and we had a nightmare dealing with that one. Good times. But yeah, good level. Pretty hard for a newcomer, but it's a great welcome back challenge for veterans of the first one.

I can only imagine if I had played the game past this point as a kid and made it to the T-Rex.
