It was the most fun, and I get that warm glow of nostalgia every time I re-play this beauty.<br />Have you not played a lot of RPGs?<br />Original Zelda? Final Fantasy? Phantasy Star?<br />I know that old school games don't "hold your hand" the way modern cake-walks do. You have to invest some time and learn. Don't forget to READ the text. It's not decorative, its there to help you.<br />That said, I enjoyed the review. Almost everything you hated was something I loved ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-32555989820966372452013-04-08T08:42:22.102+01:002013-04-08T08:42:22.102+01:00Not trolling or anything through here, but I didn&...Not trolling or anything through here, but I didn't have that much of a problem with the early game about eight years ago when I played through a good portion of it.<br />First couple of tries, yea, I got my ass kicked, but I learned what to do and avoid. I always played the decker; which I highly suggest, due to the hacking part being a very big, fun, and very detailed part of the game. Also very profitable.<br />That gun you show in the screenshot, the Ares Predator (something they need to make in real life), is a weapon you'll keep throughout. Get ahold of that and you'll have a much easier time. The handblades are a good backup, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068112306642079190.post-62894083823438433132013-03-05T06:39:21.406+00:002013-03-05T06:39:21.406+00:00Try different versions of the roms, sometimes its ...Try different versions of the roms, sometimes its hard to tell, but if you download them from 3 or 4 sources, you will probably find a good one. I had the same problem, and was willing to give up entirely, but a couple of years later, i came across game genie codes, as well as a debug code, which can be a pain to use, since its limited to a single use, then you have to reset/reload to use it again. The game genie codes can beef up your character to get through those early encounters, so i gave it a try once more, only to find out that i had a much easier time this go around, not even needing the codes, and playing it on my phone is one of my favorite wastes of time.

The guns do nothing and everyone who attacks you basically might as well have a rocket launcher because they can kill you in a few quick hits.<br /><br />It seems that you will never completely run out of money since it does take a true 20%, and it has a decimal space so you can never run completely out of money, but I hear that if you die enough that it gets down to fractions of a yen, the game can crash, so that's basically the same thing as a game over. I couldn't even stand to die that many times, I traded it in for some other piece of shit that I could at least kill an hour on without my heart filling with hate and rage.<br /><br />Years later I tried it again and had no better luck, but I hear that its actually not meant to be like this, that the reason its so hard is some bug in the game that allows higher level enemies to wander/spawn away from where they are supposed to be by the intended design, and that if you grind enough to actually get somewhere or just get lucky enough it can actually be really easy, but I wasnt going to waste enough of my time to test that theory, and there was no such thing as a bug fix for the early consoles so this fucker gets the crown of the shit pile.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394520869207981915noreply@blogger.com
