Unfortunately it is! It’s become an expensive scene.

I always find it to be one of the easiest to revisit. I’ve played it on NES, GBA, PSP and more recently the Pixel Remaster. It’s just a solid game all around, even if it is basic by most standards.

Agreed, as cool as this looks, anything without a numpad is a no go for me - I use it daily

Because it’s easy? Why wouldn’t you? If I had an Xbox sitting around and it was an easy option that performed well, I’d give it a shot.

Still plays good too! The controls are so fluid while being perfectly responsive. Some of the most intensely difficult platforming challenges remain totally fair.

PSP emulation is solid! I just played through Crisis Core on my modded switch at 2x resolution.

This brings me back to plugging my PSP into my TV with the big component cable adapter to play that game. This thread is making me so nostalgic.

I have so many fond memories of playing my modded PSP. Everything from NES ROMs, to PS1 native emulation or Crisis Core, I even used it as an MP3 player with an aux cable in my car before there were better solutions, or watching Futurama on my breaks at work. Back in the day there was no single device that could do all of this. Even now it’s so comfortable and the buttons feel so great compared to newer handhelds, so I just replaced the battery and started replaying Puzzle Quest.

Soo they didn’t get sucked in, they were drawn in and couldn’t resist, and rather than becoming monsters the shape of their bodies was deformed. It really hits Junji Ito’s delicate balance of too silly to be taken seriously, while deeply unsettling at the same time.

While I think it would have been easier to get into FF7 at the time of release, I did try at that time, and actually never finished it until maybe 6 years ago. I had played 4-6 and subsequently 8 multiple times, but 7 never grabbed me the same way. I know it’s a bit of a “you had to be there at the time” game, but I don’t think being there at the time guarantees enjoying it either.

That really ruins the fun of hunting down a good deal. I sure miss the days when someone at a flea market had a box of NES games for $3 each, and you could sift through and find stuff you don’t have yet. Those days are long, long gone.
