Despite the CD-ROM format, the port's graphics still leaned into the utilitarian, but functional, look of the PC version. It hit the usual turn-based points along with a few neat ideas such as building your own spell lists via NPCs to the puzzle-like nature of some of its dungeons and boss battles.

Leaning into its multimedia makeover elsewhere, voice acting punctuated key scenes (for better or worse). Additional gameplay options included the relatively uncommon choice to automate stat upgrades on leveling or to distribute the points yourself. Minmaxxing for everyone (choose wisely)!

Tangled Tales (1989) was an adventure game and RPG hybrid for PCs like the Apple II by Origin Systems. After an accident with adamantine dust and a squirrel, your master, Eldritch, punishes you by erasing your spellbook before giving you a chance at redemption! (a tangled thread)

Other neat features included how if you ran away from enemies, their encounter icon appears in the field to try and avoid it (and some areas already had enemies that were visible). Or how when you defeat a chapter's big baddie, the region they terrorized would suddenly be free of ALL monsters.

Cosmic Fantasy 2 (1991) was an RPG by Nippon Telenet for the TurboGrafx-CD. Featuring traditional, turn-based combat, a big world, and a story to unwind, players take on the role of Van whose crush, Laura, is kidnapped by a wicked mage for the power she secretly holds! (a space twist thread)

Legends II was largely like its predecessor with a bit more polish such as a new inventory system and showing experience points instead of a vague sense of leveling from surviving fights. Combat was also a bit more brutal as death now forced you to restore from a save instead of just hobbling off.

Requiem's bold effort did its best to emulate the kind of RPG experience that PC players took for granted. Though it didn't set the world aflame the way its inspiration did, it managed to work with what it had to deliver a fascinating slice of dungeon crawling to Nokia's ambitious handheld.

Vagrant Story (2000) | action RPG | Sony PlayStation | Square Lea Monde's haunted depths hid many dangers that tested its sophisticated combat system. Players could swap gear in mid-combat to meet the most current challenge, target individual body parts, and even craft (and name) their own gear!

Several years later, Nihon Falcom demonstrated how far they had come with a multimedia makeover of Legend of Heroes' port to the TG-16 CD (1991) featuring more of the amazing music their titles were also renowned for. Mieko Ishikawa, one of Falcom Sound Team's founders, had also worked on the game.

Breath of Fire III (1997) by Capcom was an RPG for the Sony PlayStation. In a world where dragons are long extinct, a baby dragon has been discovered! Escaping and then disguising itself as a human boy, what follows is a tale of rogues, mystery, and the return of ancient evil. (a tiny dragon thread)

One benefit of using DLSS in 007 First Light is how much better the lighting responds compared to DLSS off. Video slowed but very noticeable in many scenes. Also, can be 50% faster FPS with DLSS SR too 😃

This moment is bigger than party. It’s about whether we're working to improve people’s lives. Where things are working, let's continue them. But where they're not, let's be bold enough to redefine our politics and just solve problems.
