when the pixel remasters were first announced i didn't think I'd have any interest in ff1 but it's actually pretty sick, i can only imagine being a kid in 1987, getting to the flying fortress, and seeing that it's a freaking space station

I forgot how wild some of these old RPGs were back in the 80s / early 90s. One of the Ultima games (the first one even?) has you going to space in a space shuttle (remember this is in a fantasy setting) and then flying ships from Star Wars.

I feel like I really missed out on the GameCube. I bought one on launch and a few weeks later house was broken into and it got stolen...and I never replaced

With that being said, didn't you "cop" the wrong thing? I thought it was SnowRunner not "snowruner" but I could be wrong vv Usain Bolt was a pretty good runer. edit: Well this is the most unironic thing posted in this thread in awhile eightysixed fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Feb 15, 2024 |

I had foot surgery and was off work a couple months and that game was my jam. It’s maddening and peaceful in equal measure. I think I have 40 hours in it and barely put a dent in the base game not even counting the DLC content. Solid game Any word on how it runs on switch?

One of the Ultima games (the first one even?) has you going to space in a space shuttle (remember this is in a fantasy setting) and then flying ships from Star Wars. Yeah the first two had it, and you were fighting against TIE fighters. The best part of it is that it's narrated in the same hokey ye olde English as the rest of the game. "Thou hast lifted off! Thou hast become a Space Ace!" And of course there was the later one where the Avatar went to Mars in the 1800s but at least for that one it was the setting of the whole game instead of a sudden non sequitur. My personal headcanon is that Garriott programmed a space combat game for fun and then just threw it into his fantasy RPG instead of releasing it as its own game. And of course all the manuals of the later games recap all of the Avatar's previous adventures in great detail but always leave out the part where he went into frickin' space. Might & Magic and the later Wizardry games also went into sci-fi territory from what I understand so pretty much every big CRPG back then was doing it.

The way I see it, you can get one fully loaded for $100 or so with whatever games. It’s hard not to be able to find 200 hours of fun gameplay. That’s 50c /hr. It’s a good value proposition for entertainment.

This reminds me of the incredibly well written Xcom LP done years ago here on SA. The OP asked people for names for the soldiers, and one of them was named, I think, Andrew Jackson. Between some missions, the goons whose names got picked got a chance to add to the LP with diary entries that their character would have written. Andrew Jackson's were written as if he was somehow brought back to life and tasked with killing aliens on the "Ex-coumb" team. Edit ok, this is, I believe, where it starts. Quoted for the lazy (I believe there are other entries, this was just the initial one) Lp Archive posted:Gay at Heart posted: Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Feb 15, 2024 |

Yeah, early RPGs were often a wild mix of genres. Ultima II was set in the Solar System and you had to travel between planets, Might and Magic I-V all were set on giant world ships (IV and V on different sides of the same one, even) and VI-VIII dealt with an alien invasion and the resulting fallout. Wizardry was the most "normal" of the three classic series. While M&M and Ultima started spacy and then slowly normalized (though M&M did not give up its robots and space lasers until part IX ), Wizardry went down the reverse route and introduced space flight around part VI, culminating in your starting party in Wizardry VIII just openly arriving with a spaceship.
