RGT Nostalgia Society #13 - NOMINATIONS Thread

[ThatOneLum]

June madness is almost here and that means it's time we decide what we play this month in the RGT Nostalgia Society!!!!

If you're not familiar with us, the RGT Nostalgia Society (or RGTNS for short) is a monthly play-together group. Each month we nominate and then vote for a game, and we all try our best to play through the entire thing together before the month ends.



As always, there is only one rule:

All nominations must include a link to a game on The Repo. NO EXCEPTIONS!! (for real tho, I've been letting this slide a bit, but it's like literally our only rule)

Get those nominations in people!!!

RGTNS #1 - Parasite Eve
RGTNS #2 - Vagrant Story
RGTNS #3 - Einhander

This month to celebrate Dragon Quest's 40th Anniversary I present to the Society:

トルネコの大冒険 不思議のダンジョン
Torneko's Adventure - Mystery Dungeon​

If you've ever played Shiren the Wanderer, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, one of the Chocobo Mysterious spinoffs, Etrian Odyssey or any Japanese RPG Rogue-like then you owe thanks to this fella and this game because he started it all over there.
(Well probably technically Rogue still started it but a terminal based ASCII game wouldn't have exploded the popularity of the genre like a home console game from a beloved property did.)

It's been a couple of months since the last RPG and this one's definitely marching to the beat of a different drum when it comes to that genre. Could be fun and could introduce some new people to the Mystery Dungeon! Also very phone emulator friendly in terms of controls since the game only moves when you do, and that might be important to some people.

Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon (English Patched) SNES ROM – The Repo

Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon (English Patched) SNES ROM Languages: English Patched, Japanese. For the Super NES.

As much as I'd love to get a Pikmin double bill and nominate the second game, I'll hold off for now and instead nominate this instead:

Strider 1&2 Restorations (Hack) PSX ISO Game ID: SLUS-01142, SLUS-01163. Languages: English. For Sony PlayStation.

Oh! I would vote for that one! I never played it and could then claim to have beaten all the GB zelda games Kind of makes me want to nominate seasons/ages >_> But that would just be for pure nostalgia >_<

[KamakoKamako's icon]

There are so many "timeless classics" that I still need to play...

Super Mario Bros. 3
Chrono Trigger
Super Metroid

The list goes on. But for the first game of RGT Nostalgia Society Season 2 (as I'm calling it), I'ma pick a game I actually have nostalgia for:

Been meaning to play this one for a while now...

 

[gwardojones]

I nominate one of my all-time favorites, a Metroidvania PSX classic (that deserved a lot more love than it got). That's right, I'm talking about...


Tomba!

 

[random0nonsense]

I have a lot of new games coming out in the next month or two, so how about something straightforward that I've never gotten around to finishing:

The CAPCOM Zelda title are so charming. Minish Cap was the first Zelda that I owned and I've played it to death back in the day.
Minish Cap is a great nomination

 

[Megarockman _1987 Megarockman _1987]

MY MOST FAVOURITE GAME IN THE WORRRRRRRRRRRLD

 

[dkpopman]

I think it would make a lot of sense to do Kowloon's Gate next month, seeing as the Hilltop translation is coming very soon.

 

[TruxtonTatsujin]

I already see a lot of good nominations for this month, so here's a bad one.

The Tick (USA) SNES ROM – The Repo

The Tick (USA) SNES ROM Languages: English. For the Super NES.

retrogametalk.com

The Tick (USA) SEGA Genesis ROM – The Repo

The Tick (USA) SEGA Genesis ROM. A Beat 'em up game released on 1994 by Fox Interactive

I thought the same thing lol

 

[Crashbandi]

Paper Mario (USA) N64 ROM - The Repo

Paper Mario (USA) N64 ROM Languages: English. For the N64.

retrogametalk.com

Been wondering for the last week what I'm gonna nominate. I've played this a bunch, but have never beaten it.

 

[SpcDaicon]

Wild idea: make the it a double feature.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (USA) GBC ROM - The Repo

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (USA) GBC ROM Languages: English. For the GameBoy Color.

retrogametalk.com

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (USA) GBC ROM - The Repo

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (USA) GBC ROM Languages: English. For the GameBoy Color.

retrogametalk.com

The Zelda Oracle series is a duology with separate games with different plots but both games can be linked for the true ending.

After you finish one of the games, you will recive an password that can be used on the other version to unlock the Linked Game feature when selecting a New Game. A Linked file will have special events and access to the true ending.

You could choose one of the games, finish it and post your password on the thread so others can use to unlock the Linked Game feature on their version. In the same way, you could use somones else password to use it on your version.

I think the only drawback would be finishing the game 2 times, one for the password and one for the Linked Game's true ending

I wish I joined the forums way earlier because Parasite Eve is quite possibly my new favourite game on the system after going through it a month back. It made me REALLY want to watch the film and read the book! I even went far enough to grind for the legendary Junk guns

I've heard things about PE2, and it's why I haven't dabbled into it yet despite adoring the first game so.

But going through it with you all would be a sure of a great motivator to dust open that book once and for all ...
