I went through a lot of trouble to be able to play Ogre Battle 64 on the original hardware with today’s high resolution, digital monitors. Was it worth it?
Emulators
Dark Stone, Retroarch, and Steam.
I was looking for a game to keep me occupied during the long holiday weekend, and my partner handed me an old RPG from the original PlayStation days — Dark Stone. It didn’t run super well on my usual PSX emulator, so I was forced to try something different — RetroArch, now on Steam.
Gladius, day 6: Ursula decided to return to her home planet
So, there, it’s done. 62 hours and 22 minutes from the start to the end of the game, LucasArt’s near forgotten cinematic tactical strategy gladiatorial combat RPG defied all my expectations.
Gladius, Day 3: Hail, Imperia
After adding another hero and a minotaur to their motley crew, the Viking twins conquer the fighting pits of Imperia and set their sights windward.
Gladius, day 2
It’s hard to get your main characters killed, but not impossible. I did it 🙂 Gladius trades plot for deep strategical game play, and I’m there for it.
