Thanks to my Rapsberry Pi 3, I’ve begun a journey down memory lane, and this post is intended to chronicle that journey.
When you’re a kid, you pretty much have no money, so getting games wasn’t easy to do outside of holidays. The games I did have were all insanely tough as most retro games relied on a high difficulty level for replay purposes. There were many classic games I rented, but didn’t own, OR never tried at all. This journey will involve beating games I’ve beaten before but it’s been many years, games I tried but never beat, and games I never got a chance to play.
For systems, it will span across NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Gamegear, N64, and PS1. I am following no plan and just going with my gut/memory on what to beat.
To kick this off, last night I finished The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I’ve started many quests that I never finished about 20 or so years ago. I also beat this game many times using one of my brother’s saved games. All that being said, this is the first time I’ve completed the game on my own, end to end.
This is easily one of the best Zelda games in the franchise, due to complex dungeons, many bosses, items, secrets, and high production value in art/music.
For retro games, I like to have a couple going at once as these games don’t require 100 hours like some modern ones do… so currently I’m simultaneously working on The Lion King (SNES), Super Mario RPG (SNES), and The Lost World: Jurassic Park (PS1). Stay tuned!!!
