still don't get their rationale behind porting original GB game as opposed to GB and GBA games to the 3DS. There are maybe half a dozen GB games that I would think would be worth replaying, but that's about it. I'd love a chance to play the original Gargoyle's Quest though
-
That original Gargoyle's Quest game is fantastic.
-
Yup. i just realized when I typed Gargoyle that that was supposed to be originally 'demon' but they censored it for american audiences, right? It makes sense..but to a 12 yr old kid, I didn't know any better.
-
Huh, didn't know that! This might be the first time I've liked the censored version of something better- I think that "Gargoyle" gave the game some character that "Demon" wouldn't have. Oh wait, this is the other time I liked the censored version of something better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Wd-Q3F8KM

The snes reboot was called Demon's Crest, featuring the same character in the lead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon%27s_Crest
-
Never played that one. Might keep an eye out for it at my local used games shops now.
-
Man that series of games rocked. I'd like to see them bring that into a 3d engine.
-
you and me both. I loved the different demon types and weapons, not to mention all the hidden stuff to find. in the GB one, i remember feeling like a right badass once my gargoyle got to full power and could hover indefinitely.
-
Yeah they did progression nicely. You always started fairly weak, but by the end of the game you were a proverbial bad ass.

Final Fantasy Legends 1 would be fun I think, been a looooooong time though so I don't remember a whole lot other than the end boss is basically god.
