Nuzlocke skipped tonight due to tiredness. Long day.

Did grab the Pokemon TCG ROM and beat it in a few hours (sped -up), though. GAD, that game's AI is bad. Wasn't noticeable when I was a kid, but sure is now.

I'm not playing them at present, but Dragon Warrior Monsters and DWM: Cobi's Jouney are both very good games. At least, I remember them as excellent from my younger days. And DOOO NOOOT forget Dragon Warrior III and Dragon Warrior I&II if you're looking for good RPGs from the olden days. I also recommend "Final Fantasy Adventure", better known as Sword of Mana, and the "Final Fantasy Legend" (SaGa) series.

And Crystalis. Mustn't forget Crystalis. And if you want a unique RPG, try out Magi-NatioN, which I HIGHLY recommend.

...Uh, kind of going senile here. Any other GBC-era games I should be recommending here?

(Note: I'm ONLY doing ones I already had. I likewise advise sticking only to games you once owned - yeah, makes no difference in legal-status, but it's... the principle of the thing. If you never had the chance to pick 'rm up, though... *shrug* At least they're getting exposure? :\ )

Beat Dragon Warrior I (GBC version) for the heck of it.

Went pretty fast, with Turbo button used almost the entire time. Made grinding easier, certainly, but required me to look up a FAQ at a point or two because I accidentally skipped several towns. >_> The joys of an almost-entirely-unrestricted world map whose monsters can be leveled past with some grinding and purchase of good items.
(I may post pictures of the end of the game if I feel like it.)

Bit under the weather, which is why I'm not doing the Nuzlocke at the minute.
