Oh, thank the Triforce!
Here I was dreading having to make like a Shovel Knight and dig every single tile in the game apart. :))

Okay; d'you remember if any need the Shovel? (I don't have it any longer in the SNES version...)

Past experience (Distorted Travesty 3) taught me to have as much max HP as possible, but while I could clear the first two Nightmare Gates, I still have trouble with the grim Castlevania guy with the scythe.
After you obtain the Flute, you'll no longer need the Shovel because it's served it's purposes.

Thank you. I have conquered the boss and entered the Tower of Ganon.

Are there any Heart (Pieces) there or do I have to roam the Light and Dark Worlds once more?
(18H / 3P)
From what I can remember, the Tower of Ganon has no Heart Pieces, so you'll have to roam the Light/Dark world to find any remaining ones.

... I overlooked that. -_-"

I did beat Eyelord unharmed, though. So thanks!

I got the Lv4 Master Sword, and silver arrows.

So how to enter Turtle Rock? I got there, at least... and that heart piece in the Light World near that. (17 hearts + 2 pieces.)
Turtle Rock requires you to return to Death Mountain, and go to the Tower of Hera. Then go eastward until you see an area with three stakes in a triangular formation. You'll need to hit them in this order: Right, Up, Left. After this, a portal to the Dark World will show up, which takes you to Turtle Rock. You'll need the Quake Medallion to open the entrance to the dungeon before going in.

Thanks to King, I could finally clear the Ice Palace in "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past".

But now, I'm having trouble with entering... THE SWAMP OF EVIL.
(1/2 above magic meter, 16 hearts, 15 max bombs, 30 max arrows, LV3 Master Sword, only two items missing between Magic Cape and the bottles.)

It's progress, at least~.
Getting to the Swamp of Evil requires you to obtain the Flute.


Getting the flute requires you to use the Shovel you obtained in the Dark World clearing and return to that area's Light World version. Then you dig up the Flute in the Northwest corner and return to the Dark World to offer it to the Flute Player. He'll let you keep it and you can go to Kakariko Village and play it near the Weathervane, transforming it. After all that, simply return to the Desert of Mystery where you'll be warped near a warp point that takes you to the Swamp of Evil.

I'm not even going to ask what "Sailor Moon" is.



But. Why does Breath of Fire I and II botj have a winged girl named Nina?
It's a magical girl anime. Nothing perverse, despite what Ellen would allow you to assume. Honestly, I think Madoka Magica is far better.

I don't know. I've haven't even played them yet. Continuity?

"Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon - Another Story".

First time I ever saw anything Sailor Moon-related. It's an RPG, I believe, but by no means a piece of cake.

Indeed.
There's a few good games that deserve official translations, for the (S)NES...
Frankly, I kinda wanna see remakes of some of these old games.
With new stuff. Like a new bonus boss or weapon or area...

Maybe even a crossover of some kind.

How the Heckran did I remember "Earthbound Zero"?

Unless it was just a working title until they decided on "Earthbound Beginnings"?

Well, old games can still be good. :9
* cue Earthbound soup on the menu with Crystalis pie and Terranigma fries *
Earthbound Zero was a name of a fan translation. I'm not sure why Earthbound Beginnings, but at least it came to the West at all.

So, Earthbound Zero existed as Mother 1, and Earthbound is really Mother 2... do I have this right or...?
Actually, the official release of MOTHER to the west is called Earthbound Beginnings. But yeah, MOTHER 2 was called Earthbound in the West, so you're technically correct.

Is Earthbound any good?
I've only played it on New Nintendo 3DS, but yeah, Earthbound is great. It's a shame that MOTHER 3 still hasn't made it to the West yet (and there's always the worry of censorship.)

And Tecmo Secret of the Stars is also kinda grim. Neither Metal Gear nor Crystalis (for the NES) interest me.

But the Adventure Island games do. The music of the fourth NES title is catchy. LS' reservoir area uses a song from the crystal stage.

I don't like Toma in Eternal Filena (SNES).

I also couldn't clear one of the Legend of Zelda dungeons (A Link to the Past; the ice dungeon, I think?).

And Live A Live, caveman story.

Of course, I'll be unlikely to finish those, but at least I tried.

Right?

Talk about games released, like, years ago. NES, SNES, Gameboy, MS-DOS...

Yep, a thread for good old games, right? :P
