I picked up Dragon's Curse today for $25, going to get started with it tomorrow.  I played the rom a bit, seemed like a fun game so I figured I'd try to find an actual copy.

Yeah +1 to Dragon Cures.  That game is a lot of fun.

Yep, Dragon's Curse is a great game.  Play it!


For me, I just got Ys III last week, and I played through about half of it Thursday evening, and then I finished it off last night.  This was my first time ever playing this game, and I really enjoyed it, even if it felt a bit short and basic in some ways.  For my favorite TG-16 games, this one will definitely be in my top 20 (out of the 150ish which were released - both HuCard and CD format).  If you've never played it, then I recommend that you get a copy and give it a try.

I really, really tried to give Order of the Griffon a fair shake...

The game is just spectacularly awful to me. Between getting attacked in town, the redundant looking walls in the town, and the battles dragging out due to the number of misses, I just could not get into the game.
Hey, you.

yea, i didn't like OotG to much either, good game just not for me.  However I have been playing today: devils and alien crush.  Fantastic Games.  I love the music in both.  played a little blazing lazers and sapphire to round out the turbo goodness.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

I just passed Riot Zone which was way to easy, and started playing Buster Bros.  :P

Yeah, it's not everyone's cup of tea...if you did like it, then I would recommend the Gold Box games on PC...

I love the game, myself (it's friggin' sweet!)

Go grab Buster Bros. You can't go wrong with that

2 bosses down, 3 to go I guess.  Dragon's Curse is fantastic.  After I'm done I guess I'll track down the other games in the series.  I hear this is the best one though.  Oh well.

Ever play a first-person RPG before? It sounds like you never left the first town. At least OotG has a 3/4 view for the overworld and battles. If OotG is "spectacularly awful", you might as well skip Wizardry, Might and Magic, Dungeon Magic, Dungeon Master, Pool of Radiance and the Gold Box games, half of Phantasy Star 1 and the early Ultimas and anything else that requires thinking or mapping.

Learn how to differentiate the genre from the game. You're like someone who hates sports games whining about Tecmo Bowl.

Finally found the time to finish Dragon's Curse.  It's now my second favorite chip game after Dungeon Explorer.

Last night, I was playing World Heroes 2, Sapphire Boot, and stopped early for some Information Society CD + G.  I needed to hear some tunes to tune out all the bad news from yesterday, I have a child in the same grade as those kids, f*ck man...  *smh*
