Sit down and let me tell you about "Vidcons"

I am not a person who usually collects RM games. But that doesn't mean I don't keep a few on my computer. I just felt like sharing the games I have, because I like to kick around the "old days". But, these are games that I personally have had a lot of fun with.

-Chimera Report-

People gave D-Guy a lot of shit over Chimera Report. Idk why, I think it was because it was superior to everything being produced at the time, and random human beings just, flipped out because they could not produce a cool "ABS" and the game itself was very casual in story. Chimera Report had some pretty killer graphics, and an intro I've yet to see anyone come close to emulating in rad factor. If you can find this little gem I applaud your existence.

-Legendary Legend-

The "real" LL. From the creator of Balmung, this delightful RTP adventure bridges the gap between SPACE AND COSMOS!

-Book of Three-

One of Lysanders games. I thought the writing style was pretty cool in this one. For some reason this game was very addicting. If you stumble upon it I would give it a whirl if you can dismiss the graphics.

-Crossbone-

Man, when I first played this game it sort of blew my mind. Just because it did all kinds of really weird things and had some really cool graphics at the time. I think this game is heavily inspired from One Piece, with the whole pirate theme. It's kind of hard to really explain Crossbone in text because its really bonkers. I think the dude who made it ended up doing comics or something.

-Final Fallacy-

The original comedy game. It used all RTP and back then people thought a raft mini game was pretty revolutionary. If you took out the comedy though, Final Fallacy would still stand as a pretty average RTP RPG. Unfortunately, Spoonybard has disappeared along with his webcomic site.

-Legion Saga 3-

Legion Saga is just, various scenes ripped off from Suikoden. If you're a fan of Suikoden you will enjoy it, just because he basically takes Suikoden and imports it into RM. Not really original, but it's addicting collecting people to hang out at your castle.

-Lightprism-

Lightprism is one of those games that just, didn't get any attention for WHATEVER reason, I could not grasp why. The whole game is custom, and it has a ridiculous amount of animations. It's just one of those games that didn't catch on with the community. Still, I had a lot of fun with this game.

-Love and War-

Yeah, if you haven't played Love and War you're missing out on some pretty entertaining writing. I play through Love and War over and over, just because it's a very delightful experience and I appreciate writers who can produce characters you can enjoy or relate to. Still hoping for act 2.

-Paradise Blue-

I keep this one because I appreciate creators who put effort into their games. It's one of the few games I can say I have a blast with the battle system. It's a fun experience, if you have not tried it, you really should. It's a nice alternative to Hero's Realm.

-Sunset over Imdahl-

Top 3 favorite games of all time. When I played this, it just blew my mind at how creative someone can be with rpgmaker. The whole experience is just amazing. It's one of those few projects I feel that it had the right story to compliment the graphics. I would have loved to play more games like this. I still think this game is superior to Wilfred the Hero.

-The Divine Adventures of the Invixible Warrior-

An ancient creation from royalty "Sir Diggity Dawg". If you can find this game, please play it. This is a true digital masterpiece to strive for. Targs off to Diggity Dawg.

-Rose Chronicles-

Rose Chronicles is just, my favorite. Balmung is right behind RC in execution. I think the level of detail in RC speaks for itself. It's incredibly well written too. I really hope Legacy is somewhere working on some revolutionary cellphone RPG.

Oh, I've played a few of these, they're interesting. I might try out Chimera report again, it's been a while! Ah, memories...
"-Chimera Report-

This site (RPGMAKER.NET) has a topic
http://rpgmaker.net/forums/topics/4667/
where you can find links to many classics, including Chimera Report.

We're so resourceful!
Thanks for sharing. I have all of these games except two...yeah, those were the good old days.

Book of Three but no Blue Contestant? ;p Those and Rose Chronicles I think are examples of great writing in RM games. Lightprism looks like a gem, I might check it out...
Awesome list.

Rose Chronicles, Legion Saga 3, and Chimera Report are all on the "Rare/Obscure RM Games" topic.

Book of Three, Love and War: Act 1, and Paradise Blue are all on RMN.

Think you could provide any links to the rest of em, TFT?

(Also, Book of Three is based on a novel and most all of the dialogue is taken directly from it... but I'm sure we all knew that, right?)
Good games but you forgot "RaZor" lmao
