Have You Played... Post I

im so bored right now. after getting used to the breakneck pace of this recent summer, i find myself lethargic these days.. just preferring to seat in front of the pc. well, being a videogamer.. actually, im a fanatic.. an addict even, to videogames when i was a kid. i almost have a console for each generation.. NES.. Genesis (MegaDrive).. Sega Saturn.. Playstation1.. name it, i had it.. although i toned down a bit now, im still the gamer that i was before though not as hardcore. don't get me wrong, i own a PS2 but i never play it as much as i did my past consoles.. maybe because of studying in UST ICS DEPT, it nullified my time for playing.. :(

anywho, this is a post for the games that i actually thought was great.. games that i really treasured and remember til now.. in short, games that are up there on my all time list.. many who'll read this may disagree with me.. many will say: "what the fuck is this game? never heard of it.." but, hey, this is my blog.. and THIS is my OWN all time list.. harhar.. this will be the first of many post.. so, the first one i'll feature is......

DRAGON FORCE
(Sega Saturn)

i will be forever thankful to myself for buying a sega saturn even though most of the games were crap, and the playstation is actually the better console. the reason why i did not hang myself for buying a saturn instead of a playstation was because of this game.. dragon force!!!

its a strategy game where you choose a general to lead your troops in battles. you dont actually control the troops, you just assign their battle formation.. (i wont elaborate much, you can just wikipedia this..) so much strategy is involved here that its so goddamn addicting! i remember buying this game in robinson's galleria for 800 pesos, and yes..it was a pirated version.. games were just so goddamn expensive during those days, even the pirated ones.. anyways, i bought it during a thursday i think.. coz friday is a no class day for some reasons (i think it was a holiday or something..) i played it when i got home.. and i never stopped til i finished it 2 days later! yup, i slept on the couch.. only an average of 3 hours sleep and some short meals kept me from playing this game! after i was done, i got scared coz my eyesight was blurred! lupet talaga... ito ang game na nagpalabo ng mata ko.. im still thankful that my eyes still dont require me to wear eyeglasses..

galing talaga ng laro na ito! its impossible to find a copy now.. kahit dati medyo rare na siya.. im just REALLY REALLY lucky for being able to snag a pirated, ENGLISH version of this game..! parang meant to be talaga! haha! i still have my copy.. problem is, some schmuck destroyed my sega saturn.. :( i really love this game.. i searched for saturn emulators throughout the net but can't seem to find any decent ones.. too bad.. if you get a chance to play this.. do so.. you won't be sorry.. dragon force.. one of the greatest games ever..
