My backlog is so fucking huge.
Gonna start Castlevania Symphony of the Night today.
Legend of Legaia is on Haitus until my PS1 mini with the LCD screen and memory card transfer pack arrives from eBay, then I can finally finish that game thats haunted me for years.

If you're wondering, theres a well documented Conkram glitch that freezes the game while playing on PS3, so I need to transfer my save to a ps1 memory card beat the part, then transfer back to my ps3.

Then I'll probably play shit like Vagrant Story, and maybe then something a little more action oriented.

Well, I'm in the home stretch of Phantasy Star, collecting all the Laconian gear. I've also started Secret of Mana but I was hoping to have someone to play it with and that doesn't seem like it will be happening anytime soon. I'll probably move on to Phantasy Star II and I have FF and DQ VI to complete.

I don't really know if it is /vr/, although the console it is for, but I am playing Battle Kid - Fortress of Peril and must say that it isn't as bad as I suspected.

Oh, and I started to play Spyro 2 with a friend of mine.

Rockman 2. I'm pretty drunk and I managed to take out Bubble Man and Air Man on 1 life before finally dying to spikes.

Feels pretty nice.

On a whim tonight I decided to start to run the Final Fantasy Gauntlet. Gonna replay 1 through 9. Stopped for the night at Elf Town. I just hope I can keep my sanity through this.

[Anonymous No.1841770]

Armored Core 1; just beat it for the first time in fifteen years, and I was mopping up missions after then end when the game started goofing up. Quits for the night.

AC2 and AC3 as well, alternating between each series to keep from burning out.

Wolfenstein 3D
Banjo-Kazooie

Gonna 100% the Banjo games
They are on XBLA though, which sucks, but i can't afford carts of them, i'd rather play on original hardware

Either way it's still a great goddamn game

I'm playing Mother and Earthbound back to back. It's because I'm not really like Mother, but I feel guilty for trying to skip right over it. I'm about to go to Twoson in Earthbound, but I kind of want to just finish Mother before I keep playing.

I will say one thing, the music in Mother is some of the best I've heard for something that was originally a NES game.

[Anonymous No.1841848]

That's a damn good game anon! Have fun. Which 3 characters did you choose?

I love Mother, i'll admit it's tough to get into for most people but I had a blast with it. Best of luck anon.

I'll try. I'm going to Duncan's Factory. Although my inventory is full. Is there no way to access storage in Merrysville? I still have the Onyx Hook, so I guess I could use it to go back to Magicant.

[Anonymous No.1841876]

>>1841869
I don't know why I called it Merrysville when the map says Thanksgiving.

[Anonymous No.1841885]

>>1841869
Dump stuff that you don't need, maybe sell some things, and if you still have your GGF's diary you won't be needing it after the first time you enter Magicant. Is Lloyd's inventory full too? Duncan's factory is an asshole, I suggest using a map. The place is a labyrinth. Mother is the only game in the Mother series where there are two Franklin Badges, assuming you got the first one, the second one is in Duncan's factory. Make sure you find it.

[Anonymous No.1841892]

>>1841885
I don't have Lloyd yet. He told me to get a bottle rocket. I think I'll sell some items, I just didn't know if I'd still need some of them.

[Anonymous No.1841905]

>>1841892
Duncan's Factory isn't where you get the bottle rocket for Lloyd. On your way out of Magicant to Merrysville/Thanksgiving you should've seen a factory, I forget the name of it but this is where you get the bottle rocket for Lloyd. Duncan's factory is for later.

[Anonymous No.1841919]

>>1841905
Oh okay. I thought there was only on factory. I should probably start using a guide.

Im playing Ninja Gaiden. Tried a bit of Holy Diver. I might try and beat that when Im done Ninja Gaiden.

Been playing Mega Man V for the Gameboy, and so far I'm having a blast. I thought the Stardroid arc might be fun, and I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed. Currently, I'm on the last level about to face (surprise surprise) Dr. Wily.

So, my thoughts on the powers: Mars' Photon Missile makes me think of Tunnel Rhino's drills, except nowhere near as slow, nor as expensive. Sure, there's still the wind up when you initially fire it, but after that, it takes off like no one's business. Mercury's Catcher Buster, while not as strong as some of the other weapons, is definitely a life save in a pinch. Neptune...eh...I suppose his Salt Water is somewhat better than Lead Bubble...I guess. At least it literally does splash damage when hitting walls. Venus's power is definitely great against those assholes in the sky/ceiling. Pluto's I don't use much, but it's great if you just want to dash past an enemy and have some invincibility frames. Kinda like an improved version of Train Man's power...hell, why didn't they make it so it worked like that in the first place? Uranus is pretty much Gutsman's Super Arm, Electric Boogaloo. Saturn's Black Hole (no relation to Galaxy Man's power sadly) is more or less an improved Power Stone that won't miss so horribly. Jupiter is pretty much a short range electric blast which is surprisingly powerful and cheap. Finally, Terra, who's power is pretty much Gemini Laser if it didn't suck and instead just repeatedly homed in on the enemy.

Surprisingly, it wasn't the bosses that offed me so much as the stages themselves, which resulted in me raging against what may or may not have been bullshit deaths that might have been my own fault. Despite that, having tons of fun despite having done so much in a short time.

Breath of Fire 2. I just picked up a save state more than halfway through the game because fuck grinding and I can't believe I spent hundreds of hours as a kid playing this game. Back in the day, I even maxed out all the stats on Nina/Spar by grinding out ingredients for cooking.

Wasn't that the one where Sigma was in this giant mech suit and the only place you could hit him was his tiny head?

I know I just described MMX1 as well.

Yeah, Sigma's giant battle mecha suit thing in X3 was hard to deal with, for me. I can beat him, but I usually go through a lot of sub tanks in order to do so. X1 wasn't all that bad, so long as you were good at staying on Sigma's hands.
