Phew... five nerve-wrecking tries later I made it!

 

Wasn't really worth it though. The unrewarding end-screen aside, playing through such a hardcore oldschool RPG these days felt more like work than something really enjoyable

I'm part way through GCN Paper Mario, working on Twilight Village - oink! One nice thing is there haven't been too many battles which hinge on a specific item or technique to win. Sure, many of them are much easier with the right "trick", but I was able to slog through many of the Glitzville battles even when I didn't have the ideal setup. (I think I died once, partially because I had to get hit several times.)

 

OTOH I didn't finish Dungeon Siege (PC) because I got bored of wiping out the entire goblin army.

Oh, I did. I always loved playing this. Or better, rather watching it while your characters were playing it on their own

Just a quick note on this rather old entry. :-)

 

The latest Final Fantasy has a scripting of sorts that allow you to automate your characters to a degree.

 

Second, I just played through 80% of YS for the NES because I had actually done the port for the Apple IIGS and was feeling nostalgic. I still liked it, and felt like it was an underappreciated game. I did get stuck at one of the boss monsters though....

Y's is one of the games I still need to play. I have it for the Master System, one of the very few RPG type games that made it there
