Welcome to the first Nostalgia Society monthly event!
We're a group that plays through retro games together, cycling games each month.
The goal of our group is to revisit old games and enjoy a playthrough together!
Whether you're new to the game, or it's a game you replay annually, the purpose of the group is to play an older game and communicate about it. Play it the way you want to! Emulation, real hardware, however you like! If you choose to play along with us, please make sure to avoid posting any spoilers without properly flagging them as such!
(From my understanding, something similar to this was hosted in the past by @Sayo who is a user from before my time. It's unfortunate that they are no longer active on the site, but with this continuation of something similar, let us keep them in our memory!)
I am going to be making a Hardcore Mode RetroAchievements account and trying to get all of the achievements for each game we play. I encourage you to do the same! We can share strategies and hints or tricks on how to best proceed.
Unfortunately, we did not receive nearly as many game nominations in the previous thread as I would have liked. So this time around, if you like the idea, please make sure to nominate a game for next month! You don't have to put together a pitch or anything like that, just throw out a name of a game you're interested in us all playing.
That being said, our first game is Parasite Eve, winning 5 votes to 1.
(From Wikipedia) Parasite Eve is a 1998 role-playing video game developed and published by Square. The game is a sequel to the novel Parasite Eve, written by Hideaki Sena; it is the first game in the Parasite Eve video game series. The story follows New York City police officer Aya Brea over a six-day span in 1997 as she attempts to stop the Eve, a woman who plans to destroy the human race through spontaneous human combustion. Players explore levels set in areas of New York while utilizing a pausable real-time combat system along with several role-playing elements.
Wikipedia info aside, the game is an interesting take on turn-based combat with survival horror RPG elements. Dark themes, dark subject matter, guns, monsters, great story, good fun.
Fun fact, Parasite Eve is also Square's first M-rated game, which is interesting.
Have fun everyone! :)
