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?

It's gotta be Golden Sun for me.

Any time I get back into emulation (most recently when I bought a Retroid Pocket Flip, great little device) my go-to game to play first is Metal Warriors for the SNES. Underrated game!

I have the rg351m as well. I haven’t tried a lot of SNES games. I’m more of a gba guy, myself. But thanks for the suggestion. Will probably branch out to more consoles :)

As a side note: the retroid pocket flip feels a lot like the nintendo ds. Give rune factory a try, too. I sunk so many hours in that game :)

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

Super Metroid, hands down.

The zero games are difficult for sure. The only ones I finished without cheats were megaman zero 3 and 4.

I liked them all. And I liked the difficulty. The first one is just hard to go back to and replay after the QoL changes from 2 onward.
