Discover the Secret: Secret of Mana
Made in: 1992/3 By Square
The
Main Character using.....OMG a SWORD :)
Square's Line of Action/Rpgs started with this
blockbuster game. The Secret of Mana started when Square
released the game "Final Fantasy Adventure" for the Game Boy.
The name was changed to sell more copies, but it is the
foundation for this game. The knight you play in FFA GB is the
one who left a sword in a town, and you rescue the Sword. You
eventually figure out a dark, omnious secret that stuns you.
(Never Expect it....) I wont give it away, but it is a good
story and a good use of a Multitap!
Some features:
Multiplayer! 3 People can play at a time!
Like
I said before, a great storyline that is a killer.
The
number system in Secret of Mana 2(SD3) and Terrigama was
perfected here.
MUST
LEVEL UP
MUST
LEVEL UP BEFORE THE VOLCANO
I'M
TELLING YOU, YOU MUST LEVEL UP A LOT
A classic that made way with the "ring" system
used in Secret of Evermore(sorry, not good enough to be a
classic, in my opinion) and Secret of Mana 2(SD3). Try it if you
can handle the Leveling up.
The Unreleased: Terrigama
Made In: 1995 By Enix
Ark goes to....Colorado?
Huh? Well, Hes saving the Birds :)
Most people have
NOT heard of this one. Likely the ones who have are Europeans,
because it was only released there. This game is the sequal to
IofG, and SoulBlazer(the Enix Trilogy). If you HAVE missed it,
you can be suprised about EVERYTHING. This game is just SO good,
its hard to describe. Starting with the underworld and in one
town, you think the game is short. WRONG! Once you defeat 5
towers, you start the NEXT chapter in this game. There is 4 in
all, and Its a stellar adventure about resurrecting the Earth,
Birds, Plants, Animals, and of Course, The Dark One himself, the
Devil(Dark Gaia). This game just MOVES you from the minute you
start to the minute you finish. Unfortunately, Enix ran out of
money before this came here, so you have to play it
emulated......oh well. The main word of this game is Quality.
Its Zelda 3 with much more special effects and better graphics
and sound. TRY IT NOW, for the world is dying, and you must help
it in its last days.........
Some Extras featured in this game:
Long. Over 30 Hours playtime, on average. Much to see, much to
do.
Amazing graphics(for ANY time....Mode 7 on the Underworld map is
excellent)
A
MAJOR story to get into...very unpredictable and Japanese
This
is what Square should have done instead of Secret of
Evermore.......Yech!
Sound is extremely good (Listen to the "sad" theme a little, and
you will be hooked :)
A rarity of Titles, Terrigama just does not have
much respect because no one has played it. Also, since Square
did not make it, there is NO way for it to be re-released. So
you'll just have to find it somewhere.........and experience the
sheer joy that is saving the world.
Gannon Returns: Zelda:3
Made In: 1992 By Nintendo
Wow! Another Sword! Who
would have thought :)
Zelda 3 had a
great storyline for Nintendo, and just felt much better, but
still retained the classic Zelda 1 feeling. Much like Zelda 1
but with enhanced graphics, this game will NOT slow down or just
become TOO hard to play. A classic with that uniqueness that is
Nintendo.
These are great innovations that came with this game.
Zelda. Capture the princess story. Old even then, but still
pulled off gracefully.
Nice
map of the overworld in Mode 7 - Spectactular graphics use for
an RPG(in its time......FF3 blew that out of the water)
New
swords and techinques that add-on to Zelda's Storyline.
Good
Story intertwined with the "save the princess" storyline.
Linear and Non-linear storyline. You can walk around, but you
have to start at Level 1.
Another Classic that if you havent played, do so
now.
