Ys II is a bit too maze-like and repetitive for my tastes, but Ys I is one of my favorite games.  Love the world, the bump-into-shit mechanics are surprisingly addicting, and the music is on another plane - and I'm speaking of the SMS version...I'm sure the CD version is the stuff of legend.  How is IV, that's one of the few Ys games I've yet to play?  Wish they'd release the remake on something other than the PS Vita...

4 is good, I enjoyed it more than 3.   If you have TG CD capability there was a fan translation done that is down right awesome.   
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Wasn't planning to jump into the CD scene so quickly, but that may be the tipping point.  Thanks for the heads up.  Are burned discs hard on the Duo lasers like they notably are on other CD systems?

I have been inflicting self pain by playing ghost manor. Its actually pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Its very opaque. Scenery is not very obvious as to what you need to iteract with. Also there are so many characters that i was avoiding, thinking they are enemies when they actually help. It probably doesnt make life easier that i am playing on turbo express. This is my second time picking this game up to play, and I'm not very good.

Hahahahjaha! The fact you are playing this on the TurboExpress—that is awesome.

I don't think I've tried GM on the TE.

I will have to try it.

I'm currently playing Dracula X. I'm trying to get 100% but I'm at 96%. I have beaten the game cleared all the alternate levels and replaced stage5 to get alternate path. Also rescued all the girls. Any ideas on what I should look for? Love love love this game.I wanted it since it was released and earlier this year that dream came true.

Dude, I actually envy you :)

There is so much charm and personality in the Bonk/PC Genjin series.  I wish I could play it fresh and anew.

Anyway, it is actually a very easy game, but it is a lot of fun and well-worth your time.
