Greatest RPG experience EVER:
Playing the 1980's edition of Frogger... on seven disks, a TV set, a computer and a keyboard.
That's what hardcore gaming is all about.

Jarlaxle Baenre Greatest RPG experience EVER: Playing the 1980's edition of Frogger... on seven disks, a TV set, a computer and a keyboard. That's what hardcore gaming is all about. That is an amazing game! ^_^ But how is it on seven disks? Floppy? But then it'd be huge....uuuuh...brain cramp...

Golden Sun!
No... Golden Sun 2!
... Skies of Arcadia?
... Riviera...?
Do Strategy/RPGs count? Please say no. It'll only confuse me more.

Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG win my all time tops for RPG honors, which for me, is an exceptionally long list.
In other news, I think my school is subjecting it's students to the Three Nerd Plagues.
A week ago we had an internet outage
This morning we had a power brownout
Next is locusts. I mean, uhm, loss of our master hard drives. Or first born sons. Whichever we have first. Which for all of us nerds, is hard drives.

Well, this was from the 1980's, don't forget that Kozo.
Here's the experience:
You have seven disks, all of which are about 5 and a half instead of 3 and a half, and they are actually FLOPPY, meaning that they're all wobbly and stuff. Anyway, you'd insert disk one, and listen to the beep code. Then you'd connect your computer to the TV set, run some software so you'd be able to see it on the TV set. Might I add that you needed to have the TV set on some cart... stuff just wasn't as portable back then. Anyway, after you spent fifteen minutes setting that up, you'd play, with your head turned at a 180 degree angle. At certain points it'd ask you to change the disk and you would, but there was no pause. If you didn't change it in a minute, the game would shut down. If you inserted the disk quickly enough, the game would resume without warning.
If you lost, you'd have to start all the way back at disk 1.
Fun isn't it?
That is hardcore gaming.

Wow Jar, I've used the oldschool 5 1/2 (or whatever) disks, but I've never had a game that took more than one of those 0_0. I've also never had the computers that only plugged into the TV. I've done old, but not quite THAT old! lol. *sigh* I miss my old games... f-15 strike eagle 2 is still probably my favorite flight simulator. It's a crime that XP isn't back compatible with the old games. I crave my old games and DOSbox just doesn't cut it... lol

oh hell. That thing is going to skyrocket in price.
I may actually donate.
Edit: well I didn't donate, but I bought one from the marketplace. It's already 12k at the lowest (though I managed to snag one for 11.5k about)
Now to hold onto this for a year...

I still have my three letters from way back when.
Yep.
One of them is the whip letter.
I'll sell it in two or three years... or open it for more bondage power... whichever comes first.
