One of the first modern VR games I ever played was Carnival Games VR. I played it at PAX. Got a t-shirt, too.
Yeah if you can't get a Little Nemo book, try and look up some of the strips online. Really interesting stuff.
I'm not a fan of Half-Life but I sure do love the Portal games!
I beat GRIS on Friday, one day before February. Can I count that? :)
I liked Mega Man 11 but I think Mega Man 8 was a better 'modern' Mega Man game, bad voice acting and all. MM11's music was pretty disappointing. The only tunes I really liked were Fuse Man, Blast Man, and Dr. Wily's Gear Fortress. The tunes sound so much better in 8-bit, though.
I picked the Hunter first, too!
My problem with Octopath Traveler is it gets too grindy. If they cut that part out, the game would've been much more fun. It's a shame because I loved the graphics style and classic RPG battles.
You know, there have been TONS of Carnival Games in the series and they would be perfect for me to review at GamerDad.com, but I've never reviewed a single one! I've requested review copies, sure, but they never respond.
You know, you could still look up Little Nemo stuff for 1910 as well.
I made my brother play No More Heroes so he could unlock all the 8-bit mini games for me to play. :)
I did check out your Dragon Warrior review. I hope you can check out my reviews at GamerDad.com sometimes. I post so much stuff there and that's why I can't do BaD here.
You know that Double Dragon and River City Ransom were made by the same folks?
Also, did you know that River City Ransom is a sequel to an arcade game called Renegade? In Japan, both games star the same high school thug named Kunio-kun. Kunio has had TONS of games in Japan. When Kunio isn't beating up bad guys, he likes to play sports, so a lot of Kunio games are sports spin-offs. My favorite is Super Dodge Ball on the NES. In fact, that was my favorite sports game of all time until Wii Sports came along.
I never got into the NES River City Ransom game too much but I appreciated its style. I did enjoy a 3DS River City remake that Natsume published a while back.
My friend had Dragon Warrior and I went over to his house to play it when we were kids, but I never felt compelled to buy it for myself. Same goes for the first Final Fantasy game. It wasn't until FF4 on the SNES that I got into RPGs fully. To this day I still have a hard time breaking the habit of calling it Dragon Quest instead of Dragon Warrior.
When Pokemon first came out I was covering it for The Dallas Morning News, so I was reviewing any kind of Pokemon ripoff. That included Dragon Warrior Monsters. My brother Jeff LOVED it and after I reviewed it, he confiscated my copy of the game!
Last year I got Dragon Quest Builders for Christmas. My brother Jeff also loves Minecraft and this is basically a mix of DQ and Minecraft, so he loved it, too.
My favorite Dragon Quest game is Rocket Slime on the DS. Have you ever played that one? Man it's so much fun. I wish the 3DS sequel would've come out in the US.
I wish I had time to play more DQ games, but I'd have to cut work and sleep out of my life and that's not going to happen. Can't play all the games out there, you know?
