I started Dragon Quest 1 on the NES the other day, it's the first Dragon Quest I've played. I picked it because I was curious about it since it's a game that had such a massive impact on console RPGs, and also because redditors said it was a bad choice to start with it and I will always do the opposite of what redditor gamers say. It's pretty cool, doesn't feel too crusty for being such an old game. Pretty basic but that's what I was expecting and not bad. I was surprised the game has a built in turbo, why isn't every game doing that?? Fucked up that modern RPGs are making me mash A through text boxes when this game from 1986 doesn't.
I'm also playing around in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 a little bit because they butchered it in the 3 + 4 remake and it annoyed me enough to go download the original and set it up lol. I'm not gonna do another full playthrough but it's nice to scratch the itch a little.
