The Cartographer Review

A lot of the negatives has to do with the writing mechanics (which I scored as a 2) and the fact the story in itself is somewhat incomplete, but that's because a sequel is needed to tie up loose ends.

Compared to the majority of VX games I've seen, this one really shines. Compared to other rpg games regardless of the operating system, this would probably be about average.

Carpe Diem: Episode One

Okay, after fighting Skilzardas in the Serpent Cave and getting Trance, how do I escape this floor? I have 25 seconds to act, however rubble blocks my path to the north exit, and I can't leave the way I came in.

EL1 Progress (iv)

If I'm not mistaken, sbester will also be changing/tweaking some of the story to better fit the series as a whole. I'll definitely be looking for these upgrades.

EL1 Progress (iii)

Actually, I just now subscribed, so it must be somebody else.

Bloodsphere

I'm not sure if this is my computer or something else. No matter which that I click on (1.0 or 1.1), after it downloads, when I attempt to extract the game I get informed that the extract has failed.

However, when I click and download 1.1, the file in Winrar refers to it as 1.0 last modified on 1/4/2011.

Since 1.1 was uploaded to the site on 1/5/2011, not 1/4, this makes me think that 1.0 was taken down in place of 1.1, but 1.1 is still trying to point to 1.0, and thus whichever version I try to download fails, but I'm not entirely sure.

Has anybody successfully downloaded this since 1.1 was added?

Retro Quest Review

Same could probably be said with all the SNES style games as well. What we really need is for Enterbrain to take a step forward and actually create an engine worth creating games on, but instead they keep taking steps back.

But not Generica. That was near perfect for a retro game.

Retro Quest Review

I vote the above posting as my all-time favorite.

Retro Quest Review

I disagree, to a point. I felt the rips were used well for the style of game, and reminded me a little of FF Legend II. But yeah, some areas the rips could have been used better.

Retro Quest Review

That's actually a good point, not to score upward for doing what is accepted. Unfortunately, I've played so many games where the spelling is horrid, that I'm actually grateful when a person actually takes the time to proofread their stuff.

Retro Quest Review

In all fairness, I did score the story at a 2/5:

From my own review, which is pending on a repost:
Story: 2/5 â€" I was initially going to give this 1.5/5, but bumped it up half a star because of some of the humor and witty dialogue between the characters. In addition, it was written with hardly a spelling error, which I feel is an accomplishment in comparison to a ton of other RM games.

When I score the story, I usually include the mechanics of writing into the score (whether or not spelling and grammar are an issue or carefully written out). So yes, I agree the story could have been better, but I did like the intro.
