Chrono Trigger, I probably sound like millions of other gamers, but it is a good game. And how could I ever forget Super Mario Bros. theres something about italian plumbers saving princesses which is so damn entertaining |

chrono cross- I loathed the battle system in that game... it ruined it all for me.
FF3- Japan's FF3 was never released in the states and Japan's FF6 was released as FF3 in the states. _________________ AKA Skoon

I was initially put off by the gameplay mechanics of Chrono Cross, but later on I decided to give it another chance and it turned out to be a great game after all. |

If you feel nostalgic, take a look at www.abandonia.com/
Great site for games from the DOS area and most of the even legally for download with instruction to make them run on a modern day computer _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

Doom. Period.
And maybe wolfenstein 3d...
Jdoom all the way to. Still maintain that old doom flavor with newer technologies (except for the models, I think that takes away to much) |

I never could see anything in DOOM. I mean, I like to have some story development in my games. When I want to run around and shoot stuff I play Unreal Tournament. At least that game doesn't pretent to give you anything else.
The Wolfenstein games are illegal to sell in Germany so I never played any of them but from what I have seen I don't want to anyway. _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

No disrespect intended Ty but I never agreed on the German government's stance on this and other things concerning WWII, it's like they want to pretend the whole thing didn't happen. I know this is really off topic so if the subject is not too prickly for you, could you PM me I'd like to satisfy my curiosity as to what they teach you over there about that era. _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners."

[threadjack] I agree... clouding and disguising the past only makes it more likely to happen again [/threadjack]
Back OT, anyone here play Tyrian?
If you love galaga-style space combat sims do a search for it on google (the company that made it released it as freeware). Damn fun game. _________________ Planetfurry moderator

They don't do that at all. In fact, from what I have heard we get a lot better teachings about WWII than some of you guys over there do. I have heard several accounts of Germans going to the US on vacation and getting asked wether Hitler is still in power or his son has taken over.
Also, a friend told me about a girl from the US he knows who has visited him and had her entire impression of WWII uprooted when she learned that it was the English who bombed Hannover into little pieces because she was taught in school that only US troops ever did any attacks against Germany.
On a similar topic, only recently I had to tell Pflarrian that Bavaria is NOT a seperate country but part of Germany, although I personally would not mind if they were a country of their own.
Anyway...

I'll just say it here.
We get taught what happened in WWII, why it happened, how it happened and why it must NOT happen again.
What is forbidden is any sort of symbols or slogans as well as behaviour associated with the Nazis and the Wolfenstein games are full of these. Plus, they came out in a time when most first person shooter games were deemed unsuitable for the youngsters and thus illegal to sell. Not illegal to own, mind you, just really hard to get. _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

Ah okay I had wondered I had heard a few years back that a group of I guess the term is neo Nazis in Germany were claiming the holocost never happened that it was just Allied propaganda, and I thought it was because the German government seemed to be (at least to me) trying to gloss over that part of history. _________________ "Political Correctness is tyranny with manners."
