[Classic] Terranigma

This is like a blast from the past. When I used to scour the internet looking for translated ROMs like Front Mission and Rudra's Secret Treasure. Anyone remember DeJap and J2E Translations? And loading IPS patches?

Heh, you make this sound like it's something from the past. There are plenty of games out there still getting translations from groups like AGTP (Gideon is a very hard worker...) or independent groups like the people from FESS who are slowly translating the Fire Emblem games. (They did pretty much finish 6 for the GBA; just some cosmetic work left that they'll probably never bother with.) =P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I honestly think the only thing it really had going for it were the animated cutscenes. Then again, I tried playing it last year sometime and that could be why I feel that way.

I know I *liked* it when it first came out but it really hasn't aged well. I can still play a game like Vagrant Story without any qualms, but every time I attempt to play Granstream Saga I facepalm and give up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Boring is a good word. The game isn't hard, that's for sure, and the visuals are pretty terrible (I understand it's older than many PSOne games; but come on, the people don't even have faces.), the music is rather dull, and the gameplay was interesting when it was released, but there were other games that came out in the lifespan of the PSOne which did did the whole "real time combat" thing a lot better.

It's also pretty short and the plot was pretty cliche'd; though I did like the final plot twists and the ending was sort of sad/good. (It has 2 endings but the likely "canon" ending was the one I feel was a good ending.)

It'd be worth playing on a emulator maybe if you never played it, since you could soften the textures and increase the framerate a little so it didn't feel so sluggish. It's not a terrible game, it's just one that did not stand the tests of time.

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