They are kind of 'under-the-radar' kinds of games, so that may be why you haven't heard of them. But you know me, I'm pretty good at spotting those kinds of games!

Wow that's crazy that they are so expensive. Shame, too, since that would deter many people from playing them.

I don't remember this one in arcades, and I certainly didn't play it at home since nobody could afford the NEO GEO system and games back then. Who published this? Looks like something Data East would do.

One of the reasons why Dragon Warrior was so big was because that at one point, Nintendo Power was giving away free copies of the game if you subscribed to the magazine.

My first JRPG was Dragon Warrior on the NES. My friend had it, and I'd go over to his house and we'd play it. It was fun, but not enough to make me want to buy it. Later when the SNES came out, I played FF2 (4) and was hooked on 16-bit RPGs from then on.

I know that I've written 1up memories blogs before. I think the 1up E3 meetings were around 2004-2006-ish.

I started an account at 1up back in 2004, just a few months after it originally opened. I was there for a good eight years until it closed its doors. That was a pretty sad day when that happened. I have so many good memories of the 1up site, I could write a whole blog about it. I think my favorite was when 1up had a little get-together party at their booth at E3 (when I could go to E3), and we all got free t-shirts (still have mine). I even applied for a few jobs at 1up, but I was always rejected. Oh well.
But I'm glad PixlBit was around when 1up went away so I could continue doing what I enjoy: writing about video games. There are a few people from 1up who don't post here that I still keep up with on Facebook, but other than that, this is it. There are a lot of people from 1up that I miss, too.
