Gargoyle's Quest II (NES): In continuing with my occasional bits of old-school gaming in the basement, I gave it a quick whirl. Looks a little more RPG-ish than the first game in the series, starting you off in a town itself!
It seems like a prequel, since Firebrand is being bossed around, called a "trainee", and sent to a training center. It plays much like I recall the GameBoy one playing, which is quite nice!
After going into the Training Center, all hell broke loose... and I stopped to nap. <_ p="">
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC): I spent something like an hour scouring old saves trying to find the latest save I had that was prior to using Skill Books. Y'see, if your skills get too high, you can't go to low-level trainers for points. And if you can't get those low level trainer points, you can never max things out.
In the end, I went from a 70-hour save to a 35-hour save. Eek. This is why it took me almost two months to return to the game (which I was highly enjoying): I was so disheartened by my dumb mistake (I KNEW better, but forgot!) that I couldn't bring myself to replay so much then, but I'm better now.
Fist Puncher (PC): Tarina bought me this game years ago on Good Old Games. I made a lot of progress, but unfortunately I lost my save! (This was well before GOG Galaxy, let alone their cloud saves.) Since it was a buck on Steam, I picked it back up and gave it a quick whirl...
Sword of Chaos (iOS): In addition to the usual dailies, I asked around if anyone wanted to marry solely for the stats... no luck, alas!
Minor Entries: Black Desert Online (PC).
