star ocean


star ocean is the debut rpg from japanese company tri-ace. for anyone unfamiliar with video games, an "rpg" stands for "role-playing game," in which something great is typically at stake and an unlikely hero must face ridiculous odds to save the day. in hindsight, action, adventure, and puzzle are all meshed into a thoroughly entertaining melting pot.

in correspondence with my previous post, star ocean is the first rom available for download on both my babies. to be honest, i'm being terribly biased, because this is my favorite video game series of all time. though flawed and not particularly popular amongst the hardcore gaming crowd, i find the games charming and, more than anything, fun, which is all i ask for in a game.

guide a young swordsman named ratix through time and space itself as he strives to save his planet from a deadly virus that turns living matter into stone. traverse deadly dungeons and temporal landscapes while battling countless foes and recruiting numerous comrades. the controls are easy to understand and the game itself is a blast. what are you waiting for? give it a try! playing couldn't be simpler: extract and use the aforementioned zsnes.
