[quote name='spaztic']need GBA RPG help; Fire Emblem GBA, FFTA, or Tactics Ogre GBA? Can't Decide. Help!!![/QUOTE]


i go in this order

Fire emblem 2
Tactics orge
Fire emblem
FFTA

i would rather get part 2 of fire then part 1
 
There is one copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms X. About $33 after coupons, that's the best price you'll get it unless you do some credit flipping.

Your going to have to search and put it in your cart because the page is not coming up on my browser.
 
[quote name='bostonfrontier']ummmm, am I the only one posting deals?[/QUOTE]

I only get on the morning update to look for Rare games, and they have been posted an hour ago. Thanks though.
 
[quote name='iammeiam']Sorry!

The trick, as far as I've found, is to open up the pages for specific items, and then once the update hits the 'adding' portion, just start reloading like mad. It took me a couple of seconds to process that Rez came up with a product page instead of an error page.

What I did find odd is that the product page claimed the price was something like $36.99, but it wound up $49.99 in cart. Both are better than eBay, though, and it's PS2, so it should be complete, so I guess it's okay.[/QUOTE]
Rez is overrated. My local FYE has it complete for $33. I bought it, played it and felt disappointed.

I felt the exact same way when I played it. It was among my least favorite games on ps2 but it's insane demand makes it impossible to hate.
 
I reccomend getting a Dreamcast to play Rez. I think it is the same game (ok, so I am totally guessing on that!). But a Dreamcast is a VERY nice gaming system to have if you don't already have one.

Loads of CD images out there for "free" and also has a large homebrew crowd (really free stuff there). Also, a mod chip is not required on most systems to play backups. There are SNES emulators for the system (a bit slow), NES emulators (run perfectly). It is fun to play 100s of NES games from 1 disk :)

an excellent site for Dreamcast information (a certain type is required to play backups):

[quote name='thisiswack']I wanted Magic Pengel more than you did. Oh well, you win.[/QUOTE]


i had one for years i was looking at selling. I hate the game the battle system is based on Paper rock game and its just all luck if you win or not
 
What is the deal with this Magic Pengel? I've seen it mentioned a few times now in the morning update threads. Does it actually involve drawing or something? And why does it seem to be such a big deal .. cause its rare?

Yes, you actually draw your own character and fight it against other characters (also hand drawn by the creators) in Pokemon-style fights. As the game progresses, you get more paint and can create more elaborate and stronger creatures.

As far as rarity, it's still fairly common.

The pseudo-sequel, Graffiti Kingdom, is coming out soon.

The combat is simplistic and lots of loading screens, but drawing your own characters is very unique. Graffiti Kingdom looks totally awesome and expands upon MP everyway, out this month I think?

Its not quite the same game. Contentwise, it is but the ps2 version has a BEAUTIFUL frame rate that really adds to the game because it looks so much better then the dreamcast version. Plus, I have never found an image of rez for dreamcast that you could actually beat, it would always freeze after the last battle. I had to get a european copy of rez so I could play longer into the game, although that version was a pain to get going. Now I use a PAL Ps2 version that I picked up in Hong Kong which has a 60hz option. Thats probably your best bet if you want a cheaper version of rez, although I can't say that every european version has the 60hz option.
 
[quote name='slidecage']was able to be put on a backlist for Sulkidon 2 and Orge battle 64[/QUOTE]

Another option for getting Suikoden II is to ask to place a special order for it at an fye store. It should be less than $20 for a new copy assuming their warehouse still has more in stock.

Has anyone tried this and was successful at receiving a copy of Suikoden II?
 
[quote name='Dkellar']Has anyone tried this and was successful at receiving a copy of Suikoden II?[/QUOTE]


If they have then they never posted about it, and for a reason I could understand. I finally found an fye store willing to special order the game (and others) for me and when I checked up on the status of the order they told me that it was 'proccessing'. Could go either way at this point but considering it costs nothing to place a special order it's certainly worth a shot.

While the battle system is a Rock, Paper, Scissors style, it certainly isn't all luck. You can't use the same attack twice in a row, so after the first move you can easily figure out what to choose to counter your opponent. Simple logic makes it a breeze as long as your monsters have decent stats, they do throw you some curveballs every now and then though. The real fun is in creating characters and watching them in action.
