Just curious... (questions from a novice ORPer)

[SpectralDragoon]

Shadowrun was a video game for Super Nintendo, based in the Shadowrun world. Orcs exist, as well as cybernetics, dragons, and magic. Its hi tech meets fantasy in a futuristic America setting. As cats said, nothing to do with ninja.

 

[Elbryan]

uhhh... maybe your thinking strider? shadowrun is a game made by fasa, the same ppl who did battletech/mechwarrior, and earthdawn (i think thats what it was called) awsome game... im still working on my collection of 3rd ed books (i need the riggers guide, the matrix book, and the players companion) its hard to find them now that fasa went under. im hoping to pick them up at gencon this year. i hear that microsoft bought the rights to fasa's holdings, so maybe we will see some fasa games in the future? *knock on wood*

 

[PmTick]

You're both right, Shadowrun was adapted into a video game for Super Nintendo towards its decline. Elbryan, a few of us are going to launch a new fantasy thread tonight/tommorow the latest, why don't you give it a shot?

 

[hybirdx]

*looks at his game informer magzine* DAMN!!! Its shadow dancer, not shadow run!

 

[PmTick]

No, I had the game, it was shadow run.

 

[cats]

Tick

Shadow dancer is the ninja one.

 

[Elbryan]

whats the name of the thread going to be? so i can check it out

 

[PmTick]

Probably Return to the Forgotten Realm, I'll pm you after I put it up. The original Forgotten Realm was just bumped up if you care to give it quick scan.

Oh I know what you're talking about Shadow Dancer was the one where the guy had the dog right? New Shinobi coming out on PS2

something off topic

not roleplaying (well, not directly) but here is an awsome site for those of you who enjoy game music (like me )

http://remix.overclocked.org/index.php

a bunch of people post their remixes of game music. they have just about every game you could think of... (mostly older games though)

check out the various chrono cross and chrono trigger remixes... simply awesome

 

[hybirdx]

I wonder... would they have somthing for street fighter?

 

[Elbryan]

I wonder... would they have somthing for street fighter?

[Elbryan]

sorry, i had to say it! one of my fave game series of all time (along with Phantasy Star, Breath of Fire, and Suikoden. oh, and Xenogears, which is soon to be a series!! )

 

[hybirdx]

HEH! Small world aint it! It so happens I have an BOF thread,And hopefully an phantasy star thread. Yet they are both not going to well..... DAMN YOU CHEWIE!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT SLADE IS NOT A POODLE RAT!!!!

 

[Elbryan]

vocabulary....

sorry, just a question that has been eating at my mind for a while now.... is dragie a word? i mean, even if we assume that waggie is a word (and thats not the most safe assumption to begin with) is dragie? just a thought....



btw... bof and phantasy star threads? what do you mean they arent doing well? doesnt everyone want to play those games? what kind of world has this come to?

 

[hybirdx]

first off dragie is NOT a word.... its just something Arc calls me, for some strange reson, but I don't mind

and as for my threads *sigh!* Well I don't know why Phantasy star hasn't been going well, but like my Breath of fire thread, I'm still holding on! And for the BOF thread....... I dunno, maybe it wasn't a good idea to fuse it with the Shining force series... But hey! I said I'm not giving in!

 

[Elbryan]

thats the spirit, dont give up

and as for the name, i was just teasing bleu is one of my fave characters in the series. he was just so friggin' adorable

 

[hybirdx]

thats why i choose him, cute on the outside, dangerous on the inside.

originally, I was looking for a promoted version of slade or zylo, I wasn't lucky though

 

[cats]

BOF?

There's a breath of fire thread and I didn't know about it. Maybe I give it a try, assumeing I can find it. But before that I have to get resettled in Dragon wars.... I need to work my new carecter in the story.

 

[chewbacca71]

sorry, i had to say it! one of my fave game series of all time (along with Phantasy Star, Breath of Fire, and Suikoden. oh, and Xenogears, which is soon to be a series!! )

I also liked the Shining force series, had 1 and 2 for my Sega, also Phantasy Star 4 for that system. Then Breath of Fire 3 for my playstation, that I made the mistake of letting a nephew borrow and he ruined it. waaah.

I have an opinion on this. You may agree or not ,but here it goes. I think that it is difficult generating interest in these thread ideas since usually there are so many characters involved. In Shining Force, if you are good, you normally have about 20 or so Characters to choice from. You dont normally really get attached to any particular one. Now it will be interesting to see how the Final Fantasy one goes, since there is a much more limited choice of characters in those games. Just some thoughts.

yeah... and i wont argue with that... but... i loved chrono cross, and that had, what, 50 chars in it?

Glenn rules!!!

just a thought...

 

[hybirdx]

chewie is right though, yet I think I'm going to try a diferent shining force thread and hopefully this one will work

Chewey

thats your falt fang face! I have Breath of fire 3 but I stoped playing it since I felt it wasn't up to the first two's standerds

I still have Breath of fire 2,m and I'm about to get Shining Force three (all thre of them) and a translator

 

[Elbryan]

how exactly does a shining force thread work? i mean, most of the game consisted of killing stuff in small tactical squad format...
