You didn't ask me but here's my opinion: purple is weird but should be rarer than yellow, and green is awesome because getting a set item drop in Diablo 2 is super exciting

ah gently caress it's Isenhart AGAIN

i looked this up and apparently it's this. it looks like there are some similar retro indie "treasures" that do it as a callback, all basically from the same people, and everything else after 1995 is either a re-release or a collection.
It's honestly wild to me that all the pre-PS1 Mega Men continued holding on to passwords for no reason, always such a pain in the rear end putting them in.

this can’t possibly qualify as a trend that never left. consoles don’t even have reset buttons anymore.
:actually: the SNES mini has a Reset button...which you use to generate a save state

oh man just earlier today I thought about how awesome it is in Metroidvanias when you have your full moveset and just zoom around the early rooms

When an early boss shows up later in the game as a normal enemy.
This, and also recurring bosses throughout a whole game series

Oh actually speaking of TW3,

Something id like to see more of in an RPG is the story recap that TW3 does when you load the game up.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 does that, but because the game is super nonlinear, the recap is usually incoherent nonsense lol
