Two Classic Titles, Beaten Again

Posted by Infinity_Plus on Aug. 20, 2010, 11:27 a.m.

I've been working through my game library and recently completed two games in my collection (again), but still worthwhile. The first of these two is Chrono Trigger.

In my opinions, RPG games of today haven't reached the pinnacle this game achieved. The depth of characters and storyline are both deeply moving and understandable. The cliche' 1-Dimensional character isn't present in here, albeit for a few of the boss characters and villains, but even the greater majority of them are all story-driven and creatively spectacular.

I love this game and the RPG genre in general. I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy I-IV, and even the 3D ones, but Chrono Trigger was definitely my favorite RPG of all time.

The other game that I recently beat was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game was a bit of an adventure (definitely not the best in the series; that would be a Link to the Past [:)])

I love this game, hands down. Its expansive and was the right way to do an addition to a series: expanding the character depth, bringing deeper story, and bringing back a franchise worthy villain.

That being said, I'm curious:

Did anyone else find the damned Forest Temple as creepy as I do? I hate that place, so much. Its so damned…creepy. Dark, dank, echoes in the distance, poes…*shudders*

I guess I never read if there are rules about images in blogs, so if I ever break any rules regarding image size or blog length, I apologize; I ramble on endlessly.. :)

Second Attack was the bomb. And yeah, it was a bit tough, but it also had some good music.

Bomberman 64 was pretty awesome, though collecting gems to boost max health was a pain.

As for Zelda, Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, and Link to the Past are equally the best to me. As for the forest temple, I liked it. But if you want creepy in a Zelda game, Majora's Mask.

Also, some early versions of Majora's Mask have this glitch where if you play Saria's Song, the game glitches severely. I used to have one, but it would also randomly freeze at a still picture of the warp cutscene where Link gets smashed by those wings.

I'm having a problem right now where my N64 will randomly restart every 10-15 minutes. Its frustrating, and I'm guessing its a Power Supply problem.

I've never beaten Second Attack, but the original Bomberman 64 was a pretty good, if not frustrating game.
