Glad to see these lets plays from the old forum is getting a new life here.
I would probably vote for Link to the Past, but Im fine with all the mentioned games really. Demons Crest looks and sounds amazing, but i think the level design and power ups are not that well thought out actually. Still a great game of course, but not among the elite on the system imo.
I’d probably vote for something a little less mainstream, not that LttP isn’t amazing, but I would assume that most of us have played it many many times.
If we do LttP, I might end up playing it on GBA. I would have way more time in bed at night to get through the game vs downstairs in my retro man cave.
I’m going to throw my hat into the ring and suggest Tiny Toon Adventures- Buster Busts Loose!
Solid platforming, very tidy sprite work, fun mini-games, incredibly varied level design / structure and neither too obscure nor too mainstream. Right up there with Konami’s best efforts of the 16-bit era imho.
actually just started replaying lttp a few days ago! I think you’re either going to a need an executive decision or a strawpoll to make this decision though
At the start yes, until 1994 I think. Relatively poor family, and I got the B&W in my own room as a hand-me-down. Could use the colour TV in the living room sometimes but obviously my room was better. I borrowed the game from a friend, and I had to memorise potion colours by position lol
I have fond memories of spending my summer holidays playing smash 64 in my friends garage on an old black and white TV over RF. I think it was maybe 13" but we didn’t care back then. Now I’m a fucking asshole and never have as much fun as I did back then using RF.
