If you dare to try Zelda the sound bites will stick in your head forever. You have been warned. A few summers ago I was having trouble opening a door stuck because of heat and humidity outside and freezing a/c inside. When I prevailed and the door opened I hear the sound the game makes when you open a dungeon door. Joyous and triumphant. My man the ferrett says he needs a game with an ending screen. Or he will be peeing into a coke bottle. Speaking of endings if you ever fire up a gameboy and try Final Fantasy Adventure best cultural shock ending evah!Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00108173250051938765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-299897332699570292018-04-10T20:31:58.894-04:002018-04-10T20:31:58.894-04:00I was a gamer before all that.

Nothing after came close, so I mostly dropped out. I do like Wordament, Alto's Odyssey, anything from Pangea. Am considering a Nintendo Switch so I can play Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda, and Firewatch. As for the massively complex ones you're into, I'm uncomfortable devoting that degree of time to learning curve and development. I have too many non-game activities queued that require that degree of commitment.<br /><br />The Pinball Arcade app is awesome emulation, see http://jimleff.blogspot.com/2018/02/pinball-nirvana-funhouse.html<br /><br />I also need to finally run Cosmology of Kyoto now that I've got successful emulation.Jim Leffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007232702717055047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-12075269374785444522018-04-10T19:50:58.962-04:002018-04-10T19:50:58.962-04:00I remember when the net was young.

I avoided the crack that was ultima online but I was witness to the first day that everquest opened to the public. That awe and joy was present and lasted for a very long time. One of my favorite bloggers, the ferrett once wrote about how the world was a bit more magical during the reign of arcade games. So many quarters, such a sense of discovery. You could walk into a seven eleven and find a brand new machine to conquer. My golden age was the game Dark Age of Camelot. My friend sara and I managed to set up side by side computers.
