For me, it has always been the megaman battle network series (3 being my favorite story-wise and 6 in terms of game mechanics).

They never fail to bring me back to my childhood, the wonders of the internet’s potential and so much roleplay potential.

How about you?

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. It's the game I've replayed the most (the randomizer helps a lot)

I have played aria of sorrow before. But what do you mean by randomizer?

[–] shotgun_crab 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A randomizer is program that lets you put a game ROM and randomize its values based on a seed. You can have things like random items, enemies, warps and other fun stuff. It can easily get messy or unwinnable, which is why most of them have options that let you tweak the randomization to keep it safe or go crazy if you want to. Some of the more advanced ones have logic that avoids most unwinnable states.

Here you have a pretty big list of randomizers if you wanna check them out.

Ohh. Thanks. I might experiment with this once I’m feeling brave enough. Beating it without a randomizer is hard enough. :(

Oh for sure. I know it's not for everybody
