March's Together Retro Theme: Your 2 votes VS 5 bad ideas!

[dsheinem]

just post what platform(s) you have to work with, and we'll do the best we can.

well, you know the challenge I present. I'm open to suggestions of course. As mentioned, Phantasy Star II is my choice for now. But if there's something that I'm not thinking of that may strike my fancy, I'd be interested to hear ideas.

How do you play PSII on the X1? I thought the Sonic Collection isn’t backwards compatible...

Steam?

He said he doesn't Android anymore either.

Pretty sure Noise is 100% XBOX ONE SON these days.

Which guarantees every TR month should present an interesting challenge for him.

I'm working on a personal "I'm interested in maybe playing these" list right now for ELN. I will post it eventually. Just in case anyone wants to crib some ideas.

If you haven't played through Metroid, Phantasy Star, or The Guardian Legend yet, you should. By "you" I mean you. Yes. YOU.

Faria is the hidden gem you guys should be playing this month.

I'm not done looking around yet, that's just some stuff I've found this afternoon. I definitely don't plan to play or beat all of those. Overall I'm just shooting to beat 5 games for March's TR.

Phantasy Star II and other Genny games are on XBL.

I don't disagree. Though to be honest I find the challenge interesting. I've always kind of focused on one platform at a time, so finding something that fits on said platform is interesting to me.

I actually might be able to participate in this!

Final Fantasy II (NES) is coming up on my Marathon. I just have to beat some games before hand, so I'll be starting it very late.

But, it has Maria as a main party member throughout the entire story. It's a Repro of the Famicon version, so I'm super excited to play it. I just have to get through some other games first.
