Video Game Selections

To represent three games i appreciate a ton, I'll list three choices here.

-Chrono Trigger

 Chrono Trigger was released in 1995 by SquareSoft. By traveling through time to vanquish an evil that has stuck since the near beginning of time, a band of heroes must defeat this source to relieve the world of its slowly impending doom. Chrono Trigger to me in simple terms, revolutionized what I thought what a game was originally as just a simple adventure, led me to believe a masterpiece of a game can be emotionally effecting, and cause the player to learn something new that not many games can express anymore. Chrono Trigger itself, is a masterpiece. How do i support this? I bought an original boxed used copy of this game because I loved it so much, for $160. It's THAT good.

-The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

 This Legend of Zelda game revolutionzed the 3D industry back then as such an amazing feat pulled off the same as Super Mario 64 did, this is the legend of zelda, ocarina of time. Released in 1998, this legend of zelda game was the first of its franchise to enter the 3D platform. Upon exploring through the vast lands Hyrule has to offer, the player immerses themselves into a world where exploration is key to advancing, along with the appealing factors of travel combined with the world of the current and the future, experienced by a young Kokori boy named Link. To me, the Ocarina of time also appealed my thought of how such a game can land as a forever exisiting memory of how a game can impact someone. This truly, was a beautiful game to appeal anyone. Pick it up again as well to experience some old memories.

-Mother 2 (Earthbound - USA)

 Earthbound, the first and only Mother game released into the U.S., under the name of Earthbound. Released in America in 1995, Earthbound was promoted with a horrible marketing campaign in a honest review which shunned sales, but that shouldn't make you feel negative about playing this masterpiece. Earthbound is not your typical RPG, as it takes place in a fictional location in America, where a young boy named Ness, must make new friends along the way to defeat an evil from the past, named Giygas. To me, Earthbound also made a real heavy impact on me equally as much as Chrono Trigger did. It changed my perspective on how a game can be creative in its own system, and still be successful. This also is a powerful emotional game, which heavily revolves around friendship, and the courage to stand up to revolutionize yourself. Earthbound is nothing more, than a true classic itself, and has the power to really teach  you a thing or two about yourself.
