The original Dragon Quest looks like crap. The character doesn't even turn, he always faces the same direction even if you are going to the left or backwards. And the menu looks so dumb, a command to open a door? Goddamit.

Kind of makes me want to play it, I'm so weird :/

It's a rom hack dude, you play it in an emulator.

Did you extract it with WinRAR or another unraring utility? Most emulators can't unpack and load AFAIK.

But Ultima has the spaceships from Star Wars, your argument is invalid! :lol:

Man, I sounded so negative in my last post, I didn't intend that :oops:

Just purchased a Neo Geo CD. I may live to regret that decision.

By the time it comes to that, your game may've finally loaded.

Which version?

I have an original top-loader, and it's pretty decent. The only thing that is really unbearable on it is fighting games. KOF, most notably.

Metal Slugs, and shmups like Aero Fighters aren't bad; loading times don't appear to be any longer than Saturn or PSX. I think it's a neat system, and is a great way to play NG stuff without shelling out a lot of dough.

If you don't mind, how much did you snag one for? I got one for my b-day 2 years ago, and she got it CIB, in very good condition for $120.
