Not quite. Faxanadu was a spinoff from Xanadu, which was Dragon Slayer 2. This led way to a title I was going to recommend- Dragon Slayer 4, aka Legacy of the Wizard. (IIRC, the Japanese subtitle was Drasle family, or something like that.) Whereas Soul Blazer (also an excellent game) was the first of a trilogy, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma being 2 and 3. Mind you, I'm not downtalking any of these titles. As for other titles I'd recommend (other than Legacy of the Wizard, of course), I'd also say The Guardian Legend, and the Dragon Quest/Warrior games. On a less frequently replayed basis is Zelda 1 and Metroid, but I do those mostly to see how much of the game I still remember... |
Illusion of Gaia! YES! I didn't know about it being part of a trilogy, and I've never played Terranigma -.-
Zelda 1 for me is now no-sword runs. I may have overplayed Zelda 1, I actually don't have too much desire to play it. I never got too much into Metroid 1. I mean, I beat it once or twice, but it's a pretty short game so that's not saying too much. Maybe I should give it another shot =)
Hooking up the PS3 controller to my PC was the best idea I had for all of this. I used to think "well, who cares, they're just old games" but it feels soooo much better.
I was playing Battletoads a couple of days ago, the motorbike part, with WASD and it didn't go so well. I plug in the controller. BAM, one try, made it through the whole thing. It really makes a huge difference.
Okay, back to Parasite Eve =)
