Last Post Wins! #2

[Chimera]

No, my parents liked sega, so I grew up with genesis and dreamcast. I never got a 64 to play it.

 

[Callie]

Well if you see an N64 at a yard sale, it'll probably be pretty cheap. I have terrible luck with yard sales though. If I'm ever lucky enough to find someone having one, 9 times out of 10 they're selling baby clothes. I do have an N64, but we never had Ocarina growing up. I vaguely remember having a zelda game, but I think we gave it to a friend. And my brother actually buys all of our game systems (not including portable ones), so he moved it into his man cave.

 

[Chimera]

He may have the man cave, but you have...wonderland (sorry I had to) And pretty much every 64 game is on VC now so it doesn't matter. But I do have to buy a SNES just to get Earthbound.

 

[Callie]

Oh yeah, with the copy right stuff that's never gonna come to VC...well, good luck finding both. A SNES shouldn't be too hard, but Earthbound will be tricky to find for a somewhat inexpensive price.

I think one of these days I'm gonna buy myself a gamecube, 'cause that's my favorite console and they're only about 30 bucks at gamestop now.

 

[rafren]

I've never played the original, so I wouldn't know. But at one point I was extremely stuck, and I looked up how to get past it on youtube, and watched someone play the original. You had to do the same thing in both games, but I guess that's only one bit. Have you played the original?

No dancing stones? :O

Nope, I haven't. Just Twilight Princess.

 

[Callie]

No, I remember they weren't able to help me :O. I was trying to get to Zora's Lair, but I was convinced it involved lake hylia, and spent way more time then I should have exploring the area like crazy. So yeah, I don't know if you're there yet or past it, but trust me, lake hylia will not help you get there. And this is my first Zelda game, and I like it. I've never played anything with such an open world and so free. Although it scares me at times, like with redeads D:

 

[Chimera]

Hah..yeah a SNES is like $20 and Earthbound is at least $60, but people are still trying to help the game out. And I actually have 2 gamecubes, not that I need them because of the Wii.

 

[Callie]

I've seen copies of Earthbound that are nearly 200 dollars or more. If you find a 60 dollar copy, I think that's gonna be your best bet. And for now I'm good, but when my brother goes off to college in 2 years, I'm gonna be in trouble game wise. Unless he goes somewhere really close and decides to just go to school from home.

 

[Chimera]

I'm sure you can work something out. And I may just end up using an emulator.

 

[Callie]

Yeah, we probably/hopefully will. And an emulator will work, just depends on if you want the original or not. If you don't care about that, then go ahead.

I see, I see. Currently at Goron City.

you need to try TP if you have a Wii / GC

 

[Callie]

I think I might own it, I'll have to check. I'll probably try it when I'm a bit farther into Ocarina.

 

[Chimera]

I want the original, but I also just want to play the dang game already.

 

[Callie]

If you can't find a decently priced copy, I'd say get an emulator. Keep hunting for a good copy, but play your emulator. It's got a great rep, so I'm sure you wouldn't mind playing through the game twice.

 

[Chimera]

Of course I wouldn't mind, I'm a huge fan!

 

[Callie]

Awesomeness! Then this plan should work perfectly!

And out of curiosity, have you played mother 1 or 3?

 

[Chimera]

I've played 3 but I haven't played 1 yet, I've seen a playthrough though.

 

[Callie]

Hm. I've never played any, but I've seen reviews and stuff so I know a little bit about the series.

 

[Chimera]

Very underrated games by the general gaming community.

 

[Callie]

I see people talk about them on the internet all the time, so I didn't think they were underrated until I saw a review calling it the most criminally underrated series of all time. I was kind of surprised I'll admit. I mean I know it's no where up there in fame with Mario and the like, but a lot of people on the internet seem to know about it. But maybe they just know and haven't played. I dunno.
