Popping in Gate of Thunder for the first time was mindblowing for me. I couldn't believe the audio, and the amount of action on the screen; especially in that first level when you go under that giant ship.

Ys I&II was experienced on that same day (I received the Duo as a Christmas present, when it had that awesome pack-in deal), and the opening intro to that was equally impressive.  Best Christmas ever!

This was the exact same post I would have put. Only I would have added:

"Ys I&II was experienced on that same day (I received the Duo as a Christmas present, when it had that awesome pack-in deal), and the opening intro to that was equally impressive what with that:

"Ys, an ideal utopia...."

I would have added that.....

For some reason Samurai Ghost seemed to be this one buy that was really special to me as a teen. At the time I had not really played anything like it. Out of all the US titles released, it felt the most "Asian" I guess you could say and it really had its own atmosphere.

After reading this praise for the music, I HAVE TO ASK YOU...is there a way for me (sans-PSP) to hear the music from Chronicles? Like, say, mp3's that a comrade has ripped for us?

I can dream .


Sure thing.  I'll upload and send ya a link tomorrow.


Thank you so much! I have been busy the past few days (and I haven't checked my PM's yet), but if I am not completely exhausted tonight, I will be listening to Ys Chronicles :)

Hmmm. neat list. I had forgot about a few of these.  I'd love to play some of these over again, so i think I might.  I still want to play Chrono for the first time (hear great things)

Best part of this whole thread has been making a list of games I need to try!

Wow... you've never played Chrono Trigger?! I remember playing this one alot on the SNES when I was a kid. Now, its super affordable, either on the PSX or the DS.

Yeah, we didn't have a lot of money growing up... so I only got a few games a year.  I never knew this game existed till about a year ago. I really only have had time and cash to get back into games recently.

We did a little, renting was also somewhat of a treat.  Our local stores really sucked I guess. I don't remember seeing this one.  To be honest though I don't remember exactly which games I played. There were quite a few snes games I played this way.

Edit:
 also thinking about it Rentals went out of business too toward the end of the SNES start of the 64 Life here.  And I was told the PS was too expensive.  I think my age really worked against me as well.  born 87 -> I was just a little to young to be able to really into the early 90's games, which would have hooked me, and the late 90's didn't seem to shine to me as far as gaming goes. How i wish now that I would have picked up some of the lesser known titles of the day instead of being sucked into goldeneye, poke'mon, Tomb Raider ect.

Super Mario Galaxy was actually really cool the first time I experienced it.
