1:Chrono Trigger
I can't believed how much I love this game..The characters, although now that I look back seem pretty common (Heck, they had a knight being turn into a frog!...my favorite character) were all very lively, different, and quite like able. I still hum the Chrono Trigger songs-To Far Away times engraved itself into my memory. The story was fantastic-New Game + mode and all those alternative endings really added to it. But it really inspired me. I Decided that I wanted to tell a story someday, in any medium possible (Book, RPG, Platformer, Movie, Rice a roni) that would inspire somebody as much as Chrono Trigger inspired me.
The rest of the games are in no particular order:
Bubble Bobble: "It is now the begining of a fantastic story! Let us beegin our adventure into the monster cave!" A glorious title that never dies in replay. I still remeber the main theme, too. I still hold a grude against that stupid whale that would come when I ran out of time...
Earthbound: Quirkiness at it's best. A hilarious story that feels like a late night B movie. I cherish my Mother 2 4 koma magna and still dream about Mother 3....
Super Mario Bros 3:Shigeru Miyamoto, my hero (Honestly, he is. His creativity never seems to end. he never has a "me too" game, as far I can tell. my only qualm was Yoshi Story, but as I recal he was the co-producer of that one) was at his best one this one. Ahh...Nostalgia...*sniffles* Those were the days...
Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Yuji Naka, a gaming deity of a different world (although the two are coming closer and closer) was definatly at his best here. The music..the levels...The secrets (Ashura and Super Sonic! W00t!) and the ending. the ending blew me away. I hadn't ever seen anything like it that age (I was too young for RPGs). I won't spoil it, but...Yuji Naka and his team know how to make a good story.
Sonic Adventure 2: I felt something when I played this game that i Hadn't felt in years...that sense that you couldn't die yet, that you had to save those extra lives, the feeling of getting past that last hard jump to get to the end...ahh..Also I believe the ending to this game is one of my all time favorites. It was so good...It's hard to believe it was in a Sonic Game.
I'm getting a cramp, so I won't ramble on about the following games:
Breath of Fire 2+3, Wild ARMS, Azure Dreams, and Mario World 1 +2.

Kweeh out foos!
