Of course it was here. *facepalm* But thanks! I kept trying to find a Eng-version of Anode and/or Cathode. No luck...

The Missing Link (DLC for Human Revolution). It's been ages since I beat the main game, but this kinda makes me want to replay it now. :wacko:

Edit: Just beat it. That was fast. Then again, I didn't feel like reading every email and exploring all the areas this time. Just wanted to quickly blast through it so I can uninstall it from my Steam library. :wacko:

I`m Playing "how to run KOTOR on windows7" >_> lol

Super Mario RPG

Resistance 3. :D

I played the original NES version on my PSP, progressed a lot, then found out there's a GBA version and decided not to play the NES version anymore. Later I found out there is also a PSP version... anyways enjoy it, it's a good game. :)

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance(GBA)
Conker's Bad Fur Day(N64) :awesome:
Ghost trick: Phantom Detective(DS).....I don't like it very much though :yawn:

Pocket Monsters White 2

This Medal Achivement is making me pressure :sad-no:

Replaying Sly Cooper 1 for review.

It's aged well but really formulamatic.

Uplink (Computer) - Hacking game
Hacknet (Computer) - Hacking game, but freeware.
Guardian of Paradise (Computer) - Free indie game that takes inspiration from the Zelda series but is original.
Treasure Adventure Game (Computer) - Free indie game that plays like Metroidvania Wind Waker.
Sonic Colors (DS) - Would you believe that I put this off for a while because I'm stuck in the early levels? Yeah... I suck.

So far this morning I've played Mega Man 4, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and Legend of Zelda. Currently playing Zelda.
And later today I'll probably be finishing Trine 2.

Have to check these out.

Pocket Monsters White 2

I'd say Pokewood is much better than that Musical crap

I recommend getting Tiggit. I've been using that program for a couple days as a Steam-like hub and everything runs perfectly. Easy to install, easy to remove, and sorted by genree. There's actually a lot of games I didn't know about in the hub, which is nice.

PSX - Parasite Eve 2 (again, have to beat it finally)

Tribes Ascend on PC when I have time. :))

I'm playing Sonic Advance 2 and 3 (I own 1 on a cartridge, and I've beaten it.), and I'm loving every minute of it. I don't see why the Advance games as a whole are either unnoticed or rated badly.

About to start working on the :platinum: for 3D Dot Game Heroes. Still have two more playthroughs to do.

Kingdom Hearts birth by sleep psp mischief makers n64 hybrid heaven n64 kirby64 breath of fire 3 Psx wild arms psx story of Thor genesis phantasy star 4 genesis and super mario 3 nes

Mostly Neo Geo atm.

Watching Slayers made me want to replay Popful Mail, seeing as how it's so similar that it might as well be a companion piece. The protagonist is a red-headed, gold-crazy, cutesy female sword for hire in a high fantasy world with a near identical voice provided by the same voice actress as Lina. Taking into account that this came out a couple of years after the first Slayers light novel was published, I'm thinking this wasn't an accident, and that someone probably could have sued here. :wacko:

Kind of missing Working Designs' trademark humour and nostalgic Saturday morning cartoon-esque voices in Japanese, but not missing their poor attempts to rebalance the game, which left it incredibly frustrating at times. Can't really understand why they did that, as the game's not that easy in Japanese anyway. In any case, underrated Falcom game is so underrated~! ^_^ Even if the best version of the game, the Mega CD one, actually wasn't developed by them personally.

Given that Falcom have revisited Brandish, another of their older works, in recent years, I'd actually really love to see them create another game in the same style and world as Mail. Though I suppose their Zwei!! games were sort of a spiritual successor in many ways anyway, and fill largely the same niche.

Hi Elin, I'm compiling a list of JRPGs, and I have added Popful Mail to it. So would you consider this a JRPG or is it more like 2D platformer?

I think it's more of a 2D platformer with RPG elements myself, but I noticed that you have Wonderboy on the list, and if that's there then Popful Mail ought to be too, as they're nearly identical in style. ^_^

Yeah, I was having doubts about Wonderboy as well. Maybe I remove them both.

Edit: Does the game follow a linear path or a straight one? (how much exploration is involved?) Are there any economical system involved? (buying potions etc.) Are there any side quests or is it just one story? Is the plot deep enough to be considered a JRPG?

These are the main concepts upon which I decide whether a game is an RPG or not. btw the list is in primary stages and I don't have information on many of the series, that's why I wanted others help. Right now it's just filled with all the JRPG names I could find on different game list pages I could find. (GameRankings, romhacking, tvtropes, etc.)

I am currently attempting to go back to Playing Golden Sun.....
So Much Pointless dialogue ;_;

The game is chopped up into platform levels linked by an overworld like Super Mario World's. So a mostly linear path with a little bit of optional backtracking between levels for secrets and suchlike. The game's levels are less straight line to the finish than the average platformer, though, and tend to be a bit more adventure game esque (you often need to backtrack within levels to talk to people / use key items to progress).

Items-wise, it's basically the same as the average RPG. Enemies drop money that you can use to buy better equipment / items from shops scattered throughout the levels. The amount of stuff at your disposal is fairly sparse, but that's just because the game's pretty short.

The story is pretty simple, but that's largely due to the whimsical nature of the game and its fairly short length, and it's actually fairly dialogue-heavy compared to most platformers. I don't really feel it's any less story-driven than most action-RPGs.

There are no sidequests, but then that's true of many games that are clearly JRPGs (Grandia 2, for example).

Thanks a lot for the info! I decided to put it back into JRPG listing :D

Look at my army in Red Alert Retaliation:

Devil Summoner 2 when im on the go and re-playing Dark Cloud at home.

PSO2. This game is crack. Like, seriously.

(And pretty good for study purposes as well. :wacko:)

Pokemon Crystal, first time I've played this (played through gold several times before this though). Already through the second gym with only Quilava and Poliwag, I'd forgotten how easy these games are.

SNK vs Capcom - Card Fighters Clash - Capcom Version.

I'm liking it. :nod:

Been digging into as of late: Alien Trilogy (PSX), Tokyo Beat Down (DS), Metroid Pinball (DS), Too many NES games to mention, and Streets of Rage II (Genesis).

Looking forward to starting Kirby: Mass Attack - Delicious! :parrot:

And, Elin; Your picture/scroll across the bottom there....best I have seen on ANY website - LOVE it! :)
(Whatever that thing is called there that runs across the bottom of a persons' posts....is it still called the 'signature' even if there are no words/text? Anyway...great stuff....always makes me smile...)

Along with a few games I beat just today, in the last few days I've been playing: 3D Dot Game Heroes, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance A2: Grimoire of the Overly Long Title, SMT: Strange Journey*, Dragon Quest IX, Katamari Forever, and Lollipop Chainsaw**.

*And what a strange journey it is!
**Because I literally cannot not play something by suda51. I'm an incurable fanboy. :P

Sly 2.

This fucker is eating up all my time. Again. ;_;
