Some floppy disk games are still fun to play, of course, especially Turrican 2! I still fire that one up every now and then.

Greece has stealth fighters?! You've probably flown over Egypt then, if you saw pyramids everywhere... ;-)

Actually, I would say Final Fantasy 7 was pretty bad when it was released; they took FF6, removed many of the game's positive elements (FF7 never truly opens up, for example), and made the negative elements worse. Also, why did they reduce the party size?

FF6, in turn, was worse than its predecessor. Final Fantasy 5 is easily the best game in the series, having many interesting gameplay possibilities while remaining reasonably balanced. FF6 and FF7 have fewer options available to the player *and* it seems the developers stopped caring about game balance entirely (whose idea was it to include a spell like "Knights of the Round" in the game?).

I think you missed hedwards' point.

Floppy disks...

Age...


*click*

Haha, I understand now! Those things are a real pain to get working these days, I'll admit.

Actually, sometimes I like what is now called "grinding" (back in the day, we called it "leveling up"). I recently replayed the NES Dragon Warrior and enjoyed it; I even got up to level 30! (Sometime after level 20, Metal Slimes become as easy to kill as ordinary Slimes, and experience gain speeds up while the XP per level stays at 4000.) (Of course, level 20 is high enough to beet the game fairly reliably.)

The technology is so advanced that noone even knows we have them. I owe the military thirty billion because I forgot where I parked mine.

In a 3rd world country anything after dark is a stealth fighter. :P

Floppy disks? How about loading games from cassette tapes? *That* is what I call old.

(I think somebody posted a topic about computer programs being broadcast over the radio; you press RECORD, and the resulting tape can be used to load the program into your computer's memory.)

Didn't you get that KotR Materia near the end of the game, though? It's been years since I've played it, but I remember not being able to get that one until Disc 3.

Your momma is a third world country!

you need to pimp chocobo's from what i recall

No argument here. :D

Makes sense. Question is, how do you find them when you need them...

At least there were no games released on them (afaik).
