@Anthony LOL. Yeah, those JRPGs ain’t so good with the tutorials. They’re getting better. I remember when I first played 8 and it was all “Spend your MP to kill for XP and gain AP and release your GF for MASSIVE DAMAGE”

XP and MP, okay. AP and GF, WTF?

I feel your pain with the troll — I used to play the original Final Fantasy when I was 8 or 9 unaware that you could equip gear at all. It was my first RPG… how was I supposed to know?

@Billy We'll defeat it some day! Now that I have an emulator, I'm seriously thinking about it, but The Sims 3 just seems so much easier. @Terry No, but if you turned widdershins three times and sang a song about gold then sometimes, sometimes the green fairy would drop the right tape into your lap. @Jason It's good, isn't it? I had a green screen Amstrad so only got to see the dragon in all its glory when my dad cobbled together some arcane electronic gargoyle that converted the signal over to our TV. Even green-screen, I much prefer it to the terrible Spectrum intro screen

I was always amazed at the images artists managed to make given the limited number of colors and pixels.

I never played The Hobbit, but I’m sure it would have gone in my stack of uncompleted games as well. And that’s one hell of a save scheme. If you dropped the prism, would you have to recalibrate the flashlight or could you go ahead and sprinkle salt on the part of the game you wanted to get back to?

The Hobbit is one of the first games I remember and I also have never finished it. I sat down with a BBC emulator this year and decided that now I was 25 years older I should easily be able to knock it on the head.

I didn’t even get far enough to be crushed between barrels.

I still reckon it’s great, but in a ‘in my day we didn’t have the things you fancy kids have today’ kind of way…
