Wow, these games are remarkably graphic, especially for the time period. AWESOME.

I would've been stuck forever at those tentacles...well, no, I would've been stuck for as long as it took me to meticulously cycle through every item I had. BUT STILL. Kind of fuzzy logic, if you ask me. I don't see why you can't just be its friend :(

Stalagraped, snrk~ I bet there's a fic for one fandom or another where that actually happens.

I love that you can LICK EVERYTHING IN THE GAME. So many more games would be so much better with that option. Except, y'know, Silent Hill.

Oh man, that drop maze must be such a pain in the ass. I hate those enough in games where you can take more than one hit, I can only imagine what it's like in a Sierra game. Ick D:

Can you die of thirst if you kill Orat by throwing your water at him? All signs point to "yes", but I'm curious if it's ever happened to you.

ONWARD, FOR GREAT JUSTICE! :D oh man, I need to play Trials and Tribulations. After Mother 3.

Addendum:

[delcat]

Mother 3 makes me do silly things on my sister's journal. I blame yooooooou.

Awww now I'm picturing Lucas all sick and Duster like, carrying him around and Kumatora all I'M SICK TOO BLEH and duster like argh whyyyyy

[delcat]

Hey, it happens enough in my game. But that is an adorable mental image, hee~

[zarla]

OH DUSTER. I love picturing him just keeping an eye out for the others, you know, making sure Kumatora doesn't cut her leg off for real or something. Yee. GOD WHY WON'T YOU TRANSLATE THIS GAME FOR REAL NINTENDO COME ON

ICON :D You know I never fought one of those, since the walkthrough told me to stay away from them. I REALLY SHOULD DO THAT SOMEDAY.

Haha, I dunno, you know, I've been doing these so long that I'm not even sure how I figured it out in the first place. It's just something that I now instinctively know to do, I don't even think about it. :O Although being friends with a tentacle monster would be fun.
And man Space Quest is aaaaaall about the fuzzy logic. :D

PROBABLY. Hee hee. The smell and lick options come back in SQ4 too, I think. :D Hee hee.

FRIGGING DROP MAZE. It's not terribly hard, it's just really annoying cause you can't zip through it, you HAVE to at least spend some time doing it. >( BAH.

You know, that's a good question! I've never really had a reason to walk around the desert after killing Orat. Hmmm. Probably! :D

[delcat]

Yeah, I wasn't paying attention and backended one the first time. Handed my ass to me on a silver platter. Once you get Kumatora and Duster, though, you should be able to handle it with a PSI attack or three

OH MAN MR. SATURN I KNOW OH MAN I LIKE DIED OF EXCITEMENT WHEN I FOUND THEM AND AUWSIEYIASGFHAG MUST SAVE IMMEDIATELY AND AAAAAA MR. SATURN AAAAAA

I nearly died there too. 8D WOO. BUT I HAD TO SAVE THEM FROM THE SCARY MACHINES, OH GOD. And heee the Ultimate Chimera is awesome and it totally got me the first time around. BLARG!

I KNOW OH GOD PULLING EACH NEEDLE ONLY GOT WORSE D: The poor Magypsys AND OH GOD THE ENDING NO I CAN'T SAY ANYMORE BUT AJSIOHI
It is totally heavier than Earthbound in a lot of ways. :O It's really interesting, I think, in that way...it's still has that feel, but it's so different at the same time. :O

Heh, I called her Kmatra I think, which ended up being a bit misleading cause I kept reading it as Kmatra instead of Kumatora like I was supposed to, and ah well. Probably call her Tora if I go through again. :B

WOO INSANE SILENT HILL LOGIC I LOVE IT hee. OH MAN I NEED A PSP FRICK
