  • Virtual Console and WiiWare today looks awesome =)

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Virtual Console:

I fucking loved this game!

Ogre Battle® 64: Person of Lordly Caliber™
Original platform: Nintendo 64™
Publisher: Square Enix
Players: 1

Description: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is a tactical RPG originally released for the Nintendo 64™ system. Featuring a gripping storyline with many possible endings, plus a genre-defining character class system, this strategic epic has rightly retained its place in the hearts of tactical RPG fans for more than a decade. The game tells the story of Magnus Gallant, a recently graduated officer of the Palatinean Army who is assigned to the troubled southern region of his native land. There he witnesses the plight of the lower classes – the victims of a tyrannical ruling elite whose only thought is for the preservation of its own lofty status. With civil war brewing, Magnus is faced with a terrible choice: to betray his own noble origins in the name of liberty, or to turn a blind eye to the evils of his rotten society.

Heh, maybe I should have sold my copy before this =P

If I recall correctly, this game cost me around $100 when it was first released; N64 game usually went for the 80-100 range, sometimes as high as $120. Of course, keep in mind, our dollar value sucked back then.

Epic is the correct word for this game. I played Mission 1, it hasn't lost anything in terms of satisfaction since the original release. I have a lot of games on the go as is, and I just threw a 60 hour rpg on top of it all, it's like school again! =P
