I'm an aspiring writer, musician, and artist. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm very talented in any of those fields, but that won't stop me from throwing the titles around. I'm presently a high school graduate who has no idea what he wants to do with his life.

Sunday Night Musings: PSX Games Still Fun
Krow | 3:16 AM on 08.25.2008 10 comments


First off look at my new banner. I just spent three hours of my pathetic life making it and I'd like to know what you think. Now to what little meat I plan on putting in this post.



This morning I was searching through an old dresser, trying to find a memory card for my Playstation 2. After many hours of rummaging, find it I did, hidden underneath a treasure trove of 15 or so Playstation 1 games I thought I had lost in a recent move. Among them were:

Spryo the Dragon 1/2
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX
Crash Bandicoot 1/2/3
Syphon Filter 1/2
Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles
Alundra 2 (Yes!)
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Cross
Mega Man Legends 1/2
And Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1

The sad part about this is that I shut the drawer with all of the Playstation games in it and skipped away to go finish Okami on my just found memory card. It wasn't until after I realized the memory card had stopped working, had a mental breakdown, and ate a tub of Häagen-Dazs that it dawned on me that I just stumbled on a treasure trove of beautifully fun games to play.



Spyro certainly held up well. However, while playing it I had the sneaking suspicion that I should put on my old Power Rangers underwear.

I beat Mega Man Legends, the ugly bastard child of the Mega Man series. I still love it, little lego people and all.

I managed to get to Disc 4 on Final Fantasy IX, my favorite of the 3D Final Fantasies. Zidane still has baby face, and all of the characters look like 12 year olds. It's like fapping to a picture of Chris Hansen as a child.

That's about as far as I got into it, any suggestions on what I should play next?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Final Fantasy Tactics. Great game. Lots of statistics and math to enjoy in battles. Plot is tough to understand, but followable.

I love FFIX the most out of the 3D ones as well, it was the first one I played... I know, I know! I hated RPG's for most of my life until my friend made me play that game when it came out. After I started playing it though, I went back and played all the others, starting at FFIV, VI is my favorite, but IX still holds that special place in my heart.
