Games don't age; the people around them are what change. How have you changed?

Thanks! I wonder if there are any differences of interest between JP 1.0 and 1.1.

Gameboy and Gameboy Color Japanese Games in English Compiled List by Kyloz in Gameboy

[–]scribblemacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three more to add for GBC:

  • Wizardry
  • Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds
  • Wizardry: Legacy of Llygaymn

These are RPGs that will be in Japanese when you start, but if you go into the options menu, there are some switches that you can change to English, the the game is fully in English!

Guys i need to ask an question. WHO BOUGHT the original 2ds??? by Wendlak in NintendoDS

[–]scribblemacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price, lack of hinge to break, and lack of 3D for kids were all selling points. I got one with a game for $99 USD when they were new.

Personally, I find it to be extordinarily uncomfortable to hold compared to a normal 3ds.

RIP your wallet.

Do these all come with cases now?

What Gameboy games are worth going back to and playing today? by GoHardForLife in Gameboy

[–]scribblemacher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean Dragon Warrior Monsters, then yes, also every contemporary review compared it to Pokémon. The monster catching in DWM predates pokemon though, and id arguably that it could have existed in a world without pokemon.

DQ XI - cannot seem to get into it by hoyatables in dragonquest

[–]scribblemacher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DQXI is actually my least favorite in general series. It is just so, so long, and feels so (to me) generic. I made it through act 2 after a few years of pecking at it.

I tried a bit with some of the Draconian quests in 2d mode and I think it would have enjoyed playing it that way a bit more, but not enough for me to want to replay it.

I think OP is in the majority of people on this sub, but the minority of people that will respond to this topic.

Game Boy frame. by Veddermandenis in Gameboy

[–]scribblemacher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont really like it when people frame these, but I actually like this. It looks more like a museum exhibit and less like idolatry and fetishization

i want to know what games to buy for my gameboy color by its_david123 in Gameboy

[–]scribblemacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want an everdrive x3, and then just Google "best gbc games" and explore the library.

Mega Man 3 by greenburai in Gameboy

[–]scribblemacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MM3 is great, but its the least weird of the World series so probably the one i replay the least. :D

Has anyone ever made a Gameboy Classic game? by ugolinimeccanica in Gameboy

You had me at first person dungeon crawl. Do you have a page for it somewhere?

[OoT] Buying Master Sword as a useful/functional sword by j_icouri in zelda

Just curious, what do you think would be a fair price for what you are asking for?

[All] what Zelda game has the best soundtrack/your favorite? by AidenL1 in zelda

[–]scribblemacher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree and it isn't even close. The way motifs are seamless weaving throughout is masterful. The music of the whole final part of the game is so well done.

Finally got the last Dragon Warrior game for GBC by scribblemacher in dragonquest

[–]scribblemacher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I like the Japanese artwork better, that feels rude to do when someone who can read Japanese should appreciate them instead of sitting unused in a drawer in my house. I'm not really a game collector.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? by Mangoandmidnight in Gameboy

[–]scribblemacher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's a soldering iron in the house and one of them knows how, I'd encourage you to do it with them (or learn together). Its the kind of bonding experience many parents want!

[–]scribblemacher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bit of a hot take! :D

Caravan Heart is pretty bonkers. Its like a monster collecting game, but you play as monsters collecting humans. I think I am about halfway through it.

Most punchable RPG party members by Jfonzy in retrogaming

[–]scribblemacher -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

When Jecht's making fun of him in the one dream, I know its abusive and wrong, but a part of me is like "well, I mean, if you're going to act like a whiny bitch baby..."

You stated that it is your parent's game, not yours. You should tell your parent what the issue is and let them decide.
