I like to talk about Video Games, and would one day like to make my own original game. Until then my main project is a tribute to Mario RPGs gone by, a fangame called Princess Quest. Pt 1: http://mdragmire.itch.io/princess-quest1 http://mdragmire.carrd.co

I've been a Mario fan for as long as I can remember and have been making my own fan games for 20 years since I was a kid. For #Mar10Day, I wanted to share my biggest labor of love to the series: a RPG/Adventure fangame (1/2)

The last Jubilee was held when the Princess was a child, by her father, the late King Toadstool.

A drawing by pizzastart of Yuna from Mega Man Legends 2 sitting on a moon. The drawing is heavily based on official art of Sailor Moon, where she is also sitting on a moon.

I have not seen a CIB earthbound in the wild in some time, so it floored me to see the "market price" having cleared 2K

Eartbound for SNES, Complete in box for $2499.99 and a loose cart of it for $419.99

(Future tense)

A digital drawing combined with video game elements from Final Fantasy VI and Brave Exius.

The drawing is a trace of a meme screenshot from the Incredibles where Mr Incredible is pointing outside (at the viewer) while glaring at his shorter boss. Mr Incredible has been drawn as Locke Cole, and the boss as Edgar Figaro. In the background is a grassy battle backdrop from FFVI and a rotated, blurry, T-posing model of Terra.

The top has dialog that says "That man is getting MUGGED!!", and the bottom has the battle menu, with the commands:

Fight
Mug

Item

And the character names and their hit points.

TERRA 123
LOCKE 456
EDGAR 789

I didn't play any other RPGs that early on so I wasn't familiar with their tendency to abbreviate the names of attacks and items (necessary back then with their limited text box space)

SMRPG has been my favorite game since near its release circa 1996,
And I didn't realize the 'E' in 'Static E' stood for Electricity until the remake came out. 🙃

Dankey Kang was right there and the SMRPG remake didn't take it 😔

In Super Mario RPG, the Guerrilla enemy is a "knock-off" of Donkey Kong. This is referenced in a unique way by its Japanese name, which replaces two of its characters with similar ones as though on a bootleg product logo. In English, this could be conveyed as e.g. "Donkev Konq".

I tried playing it for the first time maybe a year or two ago, whenever they put it on NSO. It's alright.

Call it bias but nothing will ever feel as good as SM64 feels to me, personally. None of the 3D Marios that have come after feel near as good
