Doing Some Old School Video Gaming Recently

Finished Final Fantasy II for NES last night.  Man, I feel like I spent a little too much time grinding to build up my characters to the recommended levels (and I got BORED with it and stopped before I reached them too!).  When I did get to the end, I think it took me about 4 or 5 (maybe a couple more I didn't count) rounds of basically just pounding on the final boss with various weaponry.  I did have my strongest healer healing occasionally if the boss actually did hit one hard.  But it was a bit anticlimactic.  The way you build your characters up is a little odd compared to previous FF games, and those that came after as well.  Basically, you go out and let your characters get pounded by enemies.  If your HP is blitzed (I read that it only has to be more than halved, but I would pound them down to their knees) then at the end of the battle, they'd gain hit points.  Same thing with Magic points.  Use a lot and they gain more at the end of the battle.  Weapon skill increases by using that type of weapon.  Magic doesn't have different spells that you can buy at different levels.  Instead, you level up your spell by using it.  The more you use say Cure, the stronger it gets. Over all I enjoyed the game though. If you dig old school roms,  I'd definitely recommend this one to play.  I am currently using John NES emulator for Android, and I find I definitely play more now than I was recently when I had to be parked in front of my TV to play.

Now I'm starting Final Fantasy III for NES which I've played, but my original rom wasn't translated completely and it became confusing. This was the last game that was created for the NES platform before Final Fantasy IV (released as Final Fantasy II in the US) moved the series to the SNES platform.  Nobuo Uematsu's score sounds great as usual.  He was very good at creating very good music given only 3 tones to work simultaneously with on the NES 8-bit platform.  It was what captured our attention on these games in the first place, and his work just got better and better.

Stupid Games. Stupid Facebook

Ok.. So seriously, Collapse Blast on Facebook has lost my top score on this damned stupid game that I play. It says I have something over 26,000,000 as a top score, when actually it's 32,196,233 that is my top score. That's a significant difference, so I'm going to post this here with the link so I can see it.

Bejeweled Twist

K this is way more fun than that Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. Especially since they changed whatever it is they changed that made the game harder and slower on Blitz so that it takes forever playing to even get 50 k. It's ridiculous how hard it is now to set up a cascade. I'm not very good at this Bejeweled Twist yet, but it's already more fun.

Video Games

Does anyone locally have a copy of Katamari Damacy they would let me borrow for a couple of weeks? I desperately want to play it, but I have a feeling that it'll be a game like Spiro that is loads and loads of fun to play, but which will make me visually dizzy after only a short time, so I'm hesitant to buy a copy without trying it first.
