Last year was a heck of a year! You could say it was the year of JRPG's for me! For some odd reason, the beginning of last year was all about beating japanese role playing games! I was on a mission to finish a lot of them, specifically Final Fantasy games! But without further ado, here is my pick for RETRO GAME OF THE YEAR I finished in 2024.....
Yes I FINALLY beat the original Final Fantasy 7 on PS1 (via my PS4). It is probably one of my top 5 favorite JRPGs of all time. Really, top 3 lol! I had so much fun with this game and lots of nostalgia too seeing my friend Brandom Emms play it. All in all it was a fantastic time! On to the new year!
JANUARY:
Wario Ware: Get it Together! (Switch) A VERY addictive and cute game. Would be even better with multiplayer for sure. But I really LOVED the retro theme games. I'm a sucker for it!
Wizardry I (NES) Talk about one of the seemingly hardest NES RPG's! But really, I finished it mainly playing as an elf mage solo. Until the last dungeon floor. Then I needed a little cleric healing power to get me to the final boss fight against Werdna the Wizard! Lots of fun if very old school!
