I used to have 3 all with the original boxes, but no AC or games or cables. lol My grandmother found them in a church. We got rid of them, though.

Mario, I notice that you have Dragon Warrior. You need to get II and III! DWIII is my all-time favourite NES RPG.

Tales of Destiny 2

High five! :3 Are you aware of how much it's worth now?

@Kiwi:

Really? I had a real hard time getting into Dragon Warrior I. I bought it because it's the father of all RPG, but having to press A to pick stairs when standing on stairs just is an example of things I find rough about the game. Quite honestly, I never played DWII and I think I recall playing DWIII on my friend's game boy color (the beginning of the game is like a maze where it tells you about your personality based on what trap you fall (edit: I actually thought that was freaking brilliant, but I was also 7 at the time and Zelda was the closest thing I played to an actual RPG)). It's easier for me to get behind FF1 than DW1, to tell the truth, and that's why I never really approached the latter.

Tell me what I'm missing, though. I'd gladly emulate it just quickly to know what it's all about.

DWI was pretty clunky haha, I absolutely see how you could be turned off from the series. The improvements they made upon the game are enormous though. Everyone I know who has played DWIII enjoy it far more than the early FF's. Please play it!

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Alright, then, I will!

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

I would say that dragon warrior, especially from 5/6 onwards, are better than FF. (and by that I mean ff 7 onwards.)

1 was a hassle, true, but it was worth it, dammit.

I have Tales of Destiny 2 i.e. Eternia, but goddamnit I want to play the real one, so I can shed man tears when Stahn is revealed to have died.

Am I the only one who thinks that Tales of Destiny is probably the best Tales to date? It might be because it was the first I played, but goddamn that game was amazing.

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

Saw Xenogears at a CGX here for 50 bucks.

Also saw Vandal Hearts, was intensely interested. Couldnt make up my mind so thinking on it.

Looking at the repro games, there's no way I'd pay 95 dollars for that if it's someone else putting the rom on a cart.

shucks, I want it. ;_;

Which repro games?

[Senip]

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

if anyone wants some reproduction carts, that are complete, this site has some pretty good ones. they are pretty freaking awesome games, like clocktower for the snes, and star fox 2. http://www.timewalkgames.com/
just thought some people might be interested in the site.

This one.

Maybe you could call em up and get em to ship it to you?

[MarioNintendo]

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

They don't make Xenogears, do they?... I'm confused. Why pay 100 bucks for a repro of a game worth less? lol

[Senip]

Re: Started building a retro game collection...

All of those are games that were fan translated. I also saw a few things that looked like fanfic translations, "cleaning up" things.

Because people are dum.
