I used to love finding these types of games as a bored 12 year old many years ago. The one I posted specifically was always fascinating to me because it was programmed in vb6 back in 1996. The guy who was running it in 2011 threatened to ban me for a month because he couldn't fathom I was a legitimately new player when I asked for help. God damn these games sucked so much ass but I put so much time into them so I have a soft spot for these grindy frustrating messes.

The constant resource competition is an annoying issue
One spawn back in the day had 2-4 people on it...
It's very annoying to constantly adjust/walk back because someone cleared a part of it.

Deaths wouldn't be so bad if only items and a bit of experience was at stake. You could plan around it and wear welfare gear (In fact, using high level gear was usually a detriment for a small gain)

The biggest problem in death is skill loss. One death could set you back weeks skill-wise.
If you had something like 90+, a death would literally set you back 3 weeks.

If the first level 100 magic level died once, he would've lost an equivalent of 7 months of effort!!!
That's why he was a show pony and rarely ventured far from safe zones.

In short: it was a shitty game populated by swedes, poles and the worst of all: brazillians.

Tell me about it...
Paradoxically, Tibia is the most popular hardcore MMO right now, surpassing Albion Online, mogging mortal online failed attempts and even being twice as popular as fucking eve...

29 years of MMO history and they couldn't topple a game literally named after an animal bone, without sound for 26 years of its history and archers being mislabelled as paladins.

Why or how? that's beyond me.

The disks were 64mbs, maybe if given more time they could manufacture larger sizes like zip discs but nobody was developing games for it and 4 months later Sony released a console that used discs that could store up to 4.7 gbs, and later over 9gbs.

There has been a lot of progress in decompilation projects thanks to AI, so the base is out there for fans to create something even better. The possibility is still there given the strong dedicated fanbase.

Can't say I didn't beat the game, waiting for regen is a perfectly viable strategy the devs put in for me to exploit.

The early PS2 models couldn't even read PS1 and blue-bottom CD-based PS2 games consistently, I don't think there's any competition.

Been playing this lately and all I can say is wow... Simply wow. Amazing game and so underrated. Easily just as good and maybe even better than Ocarina of Time.

Of course you could say they're a bit hard to compare because the gameplay is so different, but is it really? It feels almost a bit like a 2D OOT and I honestly had just as much fun playing it. A true underrated classic.

One thing you notice about the overworld map and towns is not just the repetitive "textures" but they just used blank colors for much of the tiles. Probably helped save on space to make such a huge NES game but it looked bad for an NES game. Not a huge deal, it has it's own charm but if you compare it with something like Dragon Quest, you can't help but think it looks previous gen almost.

There's a lot of confusion on this issue because Maki's sprite in FF2 never displays her panties and Maki's sprite in Capcom vs SNK 2 displays her panties as being black, so a lot of people (fan artists, modders, etc) assume she had black panties in FF2 as well. Well, the speculation is over. It is now confirmed that the actual color of Maki's panties in FF2 was red. We know this thanks to this lesser known official artwork of her posted in X by a Capcom developer.

E1m1 hangar. Its just boring. Barely anything to do. One of the worst levels in the game.
>>
Thieves Guild was already an unnecessary addition to Thief 1 that ruined the pacing of Garret's journey, so I fully support whatever measures Nightdive takes to make it less unbearable for new players. Best case scenario: they completely separate Thieves Guild, Mage Tower and Song of the Caverns into its own mini-campaign of levels that's unlocked right from the start, and give new players the original Dark Project pacing instead.

The Gold levels were a retarded idea anyway and Looking Glass never should have listened to the people who whined about Garrett not doing enough regular thieving missions before meeting Constantine.

I doomposted a couple days ago here accidentally (sorry mods), maybe someone remembers, so I thought I would share my fav retro game now. The last thread devolved into people discussing if doing meth is cool so I hope that won’t happen here.
