    been super insomniac lately and nothings been keeping my attention and I cant repair any thing since my workbench is being "remodeled" and repairs inside might wake the wifey person
    edit:
    good video
    only thing I would say that I didn't like about it was some spots in the video the SE was overpowering your voice track and made it a bit hard to hear ya

    Thanks, Daria, for another entertaining and informative video! Great topic, wonderful overview of very important RPGs. I also liked to see actually 'Rogue' in action. I knew about the game and its importance but never saw gameplay footage. You must have invested a lot of time researching the topic and editing the video. Most impressive: The influence of specific games on more well known later releases which gives an important overview of the development of gameplay elements.

    To look at the roots of RPGs also helps to understand the probs we have today to define a RPG. The lines between the genres back then was more clearcut although some elements of other genres slowly were incorporated.

    The Q about the definition of an RPG emerged in my little head again since I played a couple of weeks ago (for the firstt time) finally Lunar SSSC and Alundra. The gameplay mechanics of Alundra and Zelda are the same. Why is one regarded a RPG and the other not? I believe a good answer to this Q will be the key to define a RPG today which is the era of the hybrid games.

    I've been pretty bad at updating this thread - didn't have a real internet connection for a couple weeks. So here's a two-fer to catch up.


    Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom is a text adventure


    Dark Half is a horror themed SRPG for the SNES where you control both the hero and the villain

    Heh. I thought making Percy a bumbling sidekick was a cute way to clean out the player inventory between each stage.


    Also new video.

    Goonies never say die! But they do press start

    I like Goonies II a lot. It's like the middle ground between Metroid and Dr Chaos, and I love both of those. I have to admit, though... I did use the old Nintendo Player's Guide with the black cover the first time I beat this one back in the day for its invaluable maps.

    I've enjoyed Dark Half for years, too. Weird game, but undeniably interesting. I need to try it in english now, as it took a lot of trial and error in japanese, what with losing energy every step.

    Out of curiosity, ever try the Oni RPG series? I got super into the SNES ones, Kishin Korinden Oni and Bakumatsu Korinden Oni. If you ever try those or Blade of the Darkness on PS1, I'd love to see your thoughts on them.

    I have not, but I'll look into them. I also really want to play Dr. Chaos - I hear it's based on an Hp Lovecraft story.

    I know I'm weird, but I've actually never played Metroid. I should probably remedy that too. Damn too many games to play. XD
