Anecdotes: As I scour the globe to find all sorts of games to play, I had to dive in to some games that never reached the United States in order to fill the list. I had found a list of the best games that never made it here. With that, I present Terranigma.
Description: Starting in Krista, Ark searches for information before finding a way through a blue door to escape the nosey and annoying villagers. Once he gets through there, he meets Yomi, who calls him stupid, but gives him a weapon. Eventually, Naomi turns to either ice or stone and Ark has to investigate. That’s as far as I got.
Positives:
- Ark heals as he walks around or defeats enemies, so the 7 HP I gave up because I forgot about the Select button was replenished. It’s a nice feature.
Negatives:
- Couldn’t there be a better equipment system? I have to press Select, go to a separate area, find what I’m looking for, then press Select again to return. It seems a bit complicated and time consuming.
- The villagers aren’t very useful in Krista; most of them seem more concerned with the gossip between Ark and Naomi than the looming threat to the town.
Screenshots:
Final Opinion: The game seems all right so far, but it took way too long for the action to build.
My Progress: Torre/Tower 1
Grade: C
With this, I sadly say goodbye to the Super Nintendo era. I was 14 when it started. I bought it myself by saving up birthday and graduation money for the system. I played it extensively until 1994, when I learned how to drive and wanted to see the world outside of my hometown. I still have it to this day.
Best Game: Super Metroid
Personal Favorite: Sailor Moon R (and lots of others)
Worst Game: Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts
