I just downloaded Breath of Fire 1, 2, 3 and 4 two nights ago so I could play through them all. Been told they’re still greats. I still enjoyed the Dragon Warrior games from the NES when I played them recently. Finished through 7 again now. (honestly, 7 is the longest and worst of them all graphics be damned)

I couldn’t get in to 4 for some reason. I played it a bit and then just dropped it. The first one is a clbumic, to be sure, but it doesn’t compare at all to the third or to a lesser extent the second.

The first Dragon Warrior game was also pretty terrible in later years. I guess it was so popular because the characters and enemies were designed by that dude who wrote/animated Dragonball, but I guess with early RPG’s you can’t really expect a whole lot.

I’ve been meaning to play through Chrono Trigger for the umpteenth time, but I have so much else on my plate that I haven’t tried yet I don’t know when I’ll get around to it. If you’re looking for amazing RPG’s for SNES, by the way, Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals was absolutely amazing, and probably my favourite one of all time. Well, tied with FF3/6, but that’s more nostalgia than anything. Although it does rock.

For puzzle lovers, the three Adventures of Lolo games were awesome for NES as well. I never could beat them, but god damn if it wasn’t fun to run that little blue blob around trying not to get shot.
