Just because a game's never been discussed here doesn't mean the rest of the world isn't fudging themselves over it.

I do think Star Fox 64 is rather high on that list, but I can understand her putting it there. I guess an example for me would be if everyone was going around touting Blaster Master: Blasting Again as vastly superior to the original. Now, I liked Blasting Again, but it just isn't in the same league as the original.

Honestly, I think it's apples to oranges. They're two different, and equally well executed approaches to a single concept. About the only thing I disliked in SF64 was Slippy's voice. I do agree that the game was obviously easier in the way of bosses/lockon, but that doesn't make it somehow worse.

I absolutely love Star Fox 64. To me, it was like playing a movie.

But in a good way, whereas FFX is watching a movie.

Star Fox 64 had some great one liners ("See my ship? Does it LOOK okay to you?" comes to mind, but there are about a hundred others). Oh, and I loved Slippy's voice.

FFX had very few one liners, mostly said by Wakka, and one from Rikku. -CSM

I didn't mind Slippy's voice, really.

I hadn't played the original Star Fox before I played SF64, but I have now and I really prefer the N64 version.

Do you remember his 'voice' in the first game? It was probably the lowest in the game.

For years my neighbors and I have been debating over Slippy's gender, then we saw the instruction booklet and it said "He".

They say "He" in the game sometimes.

^lmao, that was great.

I was trying to find the original Star Ocean but I only end up finding the Japanese version, thus I obviously have no idea what all the menus say and crap. Is there an English version in one of the ROM sites?

I just downloaded Chrono Trigger, that game is sweet so far, got the frog-man dude. But I'm a bit confused um....how do I save? That's...something important. I havn't been to an inn or something where they save your game or some checkpoint so I dunno where to go to save.

Edit: Nvm, I found it.

Yes, there is a fan-translated version. Go to http://www.edgeemu.com if you want it. You don't get any junkmail for signing up or anything, so don't worry about that. What you get there, is there archival of all the versions of the ROM they've managed to collect. I'm sure the translated version is included.
