The only reason I lived through Werdna was Mahaman resurrecting my entire party at the opportune moment (although silencing him would sure work). I gotta look into this for KOD though.

All PC for me last year I think? Hmm. Really, really good Cruelty Squad Brigand: Oaxana Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy Elasto Mania Really good Opus Magnum Post Void Chronicon Good Necesse Heavenly Bodies Bread & Fred Automaton Lung Toree 2 The Looker Pony Island I also beat these video games Toree 3D Scanner Sombre Omori

What did Yoshi's Story ever do to you

Wizardry is done. This game is sweet. I put it off my entire life because I thought it was too archaic, but those PLATO D&D nerds were making interesting CRPGs before most genres even existed. With a little less dumbass Murphy's Ghost grinding and a little less instant permadeath, I'd recommend it to almost anyone. You get a lot of powerful spells pretty early on. It actually has nice progression and you don't feel like a chump half the game. It's my favorite NES RPG I've played so far. Also yes I teleported out with the amulet to beat the game, but the WERDNA kill shot (with every party member alive baby) is so much sweeter. Here's some maps. I like seeing people's maps.

Damn I gotta stop shipping to Canada

All 3 of those are among my favorite puzzle games. I really loved the Talos DLC. I thought the regular DLC areas were the best in the game, then the very end of it showed you a bunch of hard-to-wrap-your-brain-around mechanics that they were kind enough not to use more in the regular game. Small Space Big Solution was my favorite puzzle. The Witness is very different. It's primarily a 2D game that occasionally has 3D environmental solutions, but not really at all the same thing. The Witness never repeats concepts without adding a new complexity though, which is something the main Talos campaign does a few times.

The Ring of Death killed my mage before I ever realized what happened Oh cruel game.

Which games are these? Are these few games the Greg Games?

Realms of the Haunting seems a little affordable

I wonder if it's a sealed Lucasarts collector and the Macintosh version is desirably rare or if it's someone who just wanted a sealed Monkey Island and settled for the crappy Mac version no one wants because it's all they could find

I'm on NES. I started on SFC which looks like maybe the best version, but I felt pity for the NES completions thread and switched to NES. It seems like a pretty great version though, just the original with type-in stuff changed to menus. And yeah, I'm having a lot of fun. Certainly a lot more fun that all the times I tried to play it as a stupid kid. I can't imagine walking into this game and it being your first dungeon crawler. But as an adult who understand the genre more and is willing to figure out confusing maps, I'm in. I've read bad things about unfair difficulty and instant kills later on so I'm hoping to persevere.

Wizardry is hilarious. I have an evil wizard (SAURON) who accidentally turned good by random chance because I simply choose not to fight a friendly group of monsters. You can't put good and evil characters in the same party, so he left my party. I have to grind up a new good party with the sole purpose of hunting friendly mobs of turn SAURON evil again. And people say this game doesn't have a story.

Yeah it’s 5 minutes just for the run after figuring out how to skirt around those 3 turrets. But you don’t even need some cheesy build order or RNG like you do for quick wins in some of the other strategy games. You just load up a tank and go win.

I’m gonna try to do Wizardry 1 and Ultima V. With our RPG powers and @ZeldaFreak’s promise to grind out 100 hours of boring sports games, we will 677/677 this year.

Archon

Defender of the Crown

Magic Johnson's Fast Break Someone paid $4000 for a copy of this game

Strider

Overlord. This game feels like they spent a bunch of time making systems, then never tested it. You just fly straight at the enemy base and kill him immediately, lmao. Gotta be in the top 5 shortest NES games. Less than 5 minutes easily. This game has a pain point?? Edit: Did it on the highest difficulty for the ending screen (which is the exact same thing).

Super Mario Bros. OK bed time.

Spot The Video Game

Double Dare

10 Yard Fight. You'd have to be legally dead to lose the Super Bowl. The opposing team was down 21-0 and punted with 2 minutes on the clock. Great job guys.

Home Alone

Oh no, none of these count yet
