I'd actually rank castlevania 3 well above IV, there's so much more replayability what with the multiple routes and different familiars. Have to agree with Ghosts n' Goblins. Ghouls n'Ghosts is a brilliant game, tough but fair, but goblins is just stupidly and unfairly tough.
Phantasy Star IV is a forgotten classic, if more people had played it they might have seen that it did everything FFVII did only far better.

Just played the japanese version of Secret of Mana. Shit, that game hasnt aged very well, has it? Not even as a 3-player game it feels like the classic it has the reputition to be.
Sure, twas a long time ago since I played SoM the first time, and I had my fears that it wouldnt hold up as good anymore, but..god, I didnt expect to be bored even in the company of friends. In hindsight, id dare say that other, often poorly recieved, Mana-games is actually better than SoM. Its just that SoM has this glimmer about it that people dont want to look past. /gutted ;c |

'Much like a visit to Amsterdam, if you're going to be sadistically punished you at least want the spanking to come from the most attractive option available.' LOL nice comment - made me chuckle.
Secret Of Mana back in the day was amazing - I havent played it since then but still have it and also a translated copy of the Jap sequel Seiken Densetsu II which was kinda fun. Im sure its not quite as good as it was back then whereas Zelda LTTP still holds up IMHO. :) |

If I didn't already have 5 copies of Phantasy Star IV in various formats, I'd pick this up in a heartbeat. Very highly recommended.

'Also, I think you mean Seiken Densetsu 3. The 2nd is SoM and the first is the GB-game'
Absolutely, Seiken Densetstu 3 is correct. My bad ! :) I always think of it as 2 as it was the 2nd SNES iteration of the game. Speaking of Chrono Trigger Im really looking forward to playing it again on the forthcoming DS version.... Yay for retro classics!!! |

Primal Rage is an absolute stinker. It had a farting, pissing monkey and was still crap.
