U R NOT RED E

By CptRetroBlue · December 15, 2017

So far I've been checking out some games for the PSX, both known and some obscure titles. While I've been going through well known titles like Final Fantasy VII and Breath of Fire III, I've also been checking out others like Threads of Life and Tobal No. 1, which are lesser known but cult classics as it turns out. I'm getting tempted on reviewing some of these titles as well.

I have played all of those games, I think. Do you mean Threads of Fate? I still have that one, I think. And Tobal No. 1 was a game I bought for the Final Fantasy VII demo back in the day. I guess the sequel was better, but it never made it to North America.

Threads of Fate, yes, that's the one I meant ha ha

I really liked Tobal No.1 (which was release EU-side minus said demo, and I still picked it up) I then imported Tobal No.2 at considerable cost and have never even taken the disk out of the box.

If you don't mind mini-game collections, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne and Incredible Crisis are both entertaining.

Alundra is a great Zelda clone as well. Just say clear of Alundra 2, as it has nothing to do with the original and isn't all that great.

Suikoden and Suikoden II are both fantastic, though I like the second one more (even if they mistranslated "Joey" as "Jowy").

Finally, if you like 2D fighters, Pocket Fighter is pretty fun.

Nice, I have Suikoden I and II and they're indeed great RPGs. Will try the rest as well.
