Old School Games.




The Legend of Dragoon.

This game is the game that made me a fan of the original PlayStation. It's graphics are terrible, but that's to expected from one of the games that made modern games possible. The battle sequences are amazing. There are hundreds of creatures to slay and a variety of ways to do away with them. The best part of the battle is the addition system. Instead of just pressing ATTACK and your character slashes, you have to get into rhythm with each character (who have different weapons and different styles of fighting, from a giant axe to fists) and as they slash, jab, or crush the enemy you hit the specified button and they continue their attack until the move in complete or you mess up the addition. The beginning additions are simple, but as you progress it gets much harder. These additions not only make battles more enjoyable, but they give you a glimpse of the characters personality. (the additions are named. ex: Rose's Demon's Dance or Kongol's Bone Crush)
This is one of my all time favorite games, and i still occasionally play it because the story line and battles are just that good.
The picture at the top is one from an epic series of games. Final Fantasy started with Nintendo, and has evolved into one of the most popular games in the gaming world. Everybody who considers themselves a gamer has most likely played at least one of the Final Fantasies. I personally lost interest in them after Final Fantasy X. Everybody's favorite was Final Fantasy VII, but mine is IX. This game had amazing graphics for its time and awesome movies. The battle system was time based so it was fast paced, and the characters themselves brought me back to the original games that VII couldn't.
This is another game I would still playif my disks still worked.... :/
