Why buzzkill on purpose
that first one you posted looked like it came from Newgrounds
Because it was amazing that there were FREE GAMES ON THE INTERNET
It didn't matter that they were bad
I learned of emulators long before I learned of newgrounds.
did ya'll fuck with BBS's?
Pokemon Pinball and Harvest Moon. I was seeing a guy play this ON A COMPUTER
And was like
"Wait. How."
"I WANNA PLAY POKEMON PINBALL ON A COMPUTER. SHOW ME HOW."
I'm too young to have really experienced BBS or MUDS and all that stuff
There were two games that I always SNUBBED at the rental store.
I saw Chrono Trigger "Nah" and Harvest Moon "...Nah"
Huge regrets now.
Like holy shit
I'd seen the Earthbound box at the rental store SEVERAL TIMES but it intimidates the shit out of you
man when we upgraded to our 14.4k modem i was so hype
Here's what they never talk about, with Earthbound not selling well
That fucking box is HUGE. You assume something's up
With the basic graphics in the screenshots
yeah when i was a kid i was not about HM, was like fuck is this a farming game? gtfo
NONE OF THOSE SCREENSHOTS INDICATE THAT ITS AN RPG.
It looks like an edutainment game
Most people I've talked to said that it was the big box that got them to rent it to begin with
And the size of the box leads you to believe there's a big stupid playskool-like peripheral inside.
And as a kid, alone in the rental store
You assume "Am I gonna have to ask the guy at the desk to go get something..?"
Shy kid, target demo of RPGs, not going to do that.
But yeah I had a friend tell me Harvest Moon was great but I didn't believe him, because why would I?
Very understated reasons for Earthbound's poor performance.
lol
Harvest Moon is great until it hits the same wall Sims does.
A wall that Animal Crossing HOPS OVER.
Animal Crossing sorta keeps.. unfolding, if you want?
But Harvest Moon hits a wall where there is NOTHING left to do.
i've had Stardew Valley on my pc for years and still have never played it
Stardew's good.
Play it.
Stardew Valley is good yeah
