Double Post:
1. Name 3 RPGs that involve time travel.

Earthbound, Final Fantasy 1, and The Magic of Scheherazade.

- Name a fighting game with at least one damage-dealing taunt.

Super Smash Bros. Melee (Luigi's)

- Which spells can you think of in the final fantasy series that never made it across into a different final fantasy game?

Imp (FF6)

Baha, this is fun!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Crystalis, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, and Front Mission 3 have you input your name through a computer terminal at the outset.

Hmm...I can only think of two.

Spoiler:

Live-A-Live and Paper Mario 2...in both cases because one of your characters IS the last boss

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Double Post:
- Name 3 games that have capsule machines

Wait...capsule machines of the walk-in variety or put-in-a-coin-and-turn-the-crank kind?

How ya doing, buddy?

28) Name any character that can have about three weapons on him/her at one time. (FPSs don't count)

Well, DMC3 Dante can have four, with Ebony & Ivory/Agni & Rudra equipped.

-Name four non-Final Fantasy characters that can use the enemies' attacks or abilities.

Megaman, Dante (again), Kirby, and Soma Cruz.

Question time again: Name 3 games that let you play during the credits.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ha, Maniac Mansion! Umm...I can only think of two.

Spoiler:

Drown them in the electric pool, or see the Meteor without a radiation suit

OK, here's two more.
Name 3 games where at least fully half of the game is played in self-contained flashback (that is to say, MGS3 doesn't count merely because it's in the 1960s - I'm thinking more along the lines of 'what happened last week' in the game's own timeline).
Name 3 games where disobediant party members can be disciplined.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The third one I had in mind was:

Spoiler:

Vagrant Story. One of the opening teasers reveals that the whole thing happened 'last week' and there is a manhunt out for Ashley.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, for my part, that's because I can't actually think of anything other than

not stopping the countdown

FELIPE NO

Ugh....stuck at 7 attacks for 67.

Star Rain (SMRPG), PSI Starstorm (Earthbound), Eden (FF8)

How's that? Also, argh....how did I forget the other stuff? It's been too long.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think #2 is Romancing SaGa 3, and I know #3 is Treasure of the Rudras.

#4 is driving me nuts.

This is neat. I think I'll go get some pics myself.

That's

Spoiler:

one of the first stage enemies from the Trilogy version of Ninja Gaiden 1

or I'll ingest my chapeau.

EDIT: OK, my turn with some screens.

Go!

#4 is correct, but not #3. You automatically earn my respect for knowing #4 right off, though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Correct. That just leaves the middle two, then.

Well, OK.

Spoiler:

#2 is Mountain King from the Atari 2600, and #3 is Super Pipeline 2 from the Commodore 64.

Sorry for apparently derailing things. I'll refrain from using those systems in the future.
