  • Nintendo disses Sony! "We run this Handheld shit, we got this bitch on lock!"

  • 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.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't even know what the big deal is about Link to the Past anyways, even on SNES there are several games in the same genre that are better. Illusions of Gaia and Terranigma are perfect examples.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Terranigma hasn't had its chance to find a major fanbase yet, but those who have even heard of the game and have played through are all hard core fans. Illusion of Gaia isn't as good, and it even has the flaw in it that it would take almost a miracle to finish off the last dungeon if you didn't save your cure items, but overall it's one of the most atmospheric games on the system. It's very immersive, something Link to the Past failed to achieve from my view.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>There's some obscure game for the Genesis that was an obvious Zelda ripoff, but that doesn't matter. I don't care if they're the closest (well known) game, I consider them too different for a meaningful comparison.</div>
