I really like 2D platformers, and now I really like 3D platformers. 'Nuff Said. #2: PSX: Final Fantasy VII: The first "Japanese style RPG" I've played, and I really like it. Although I'm still on disc #1 after 6 months (~30 hours of logged game-time). Not thats it's hard, I just don't get too much of a chance to play all that often. :-( Anyone have any suggestions for other, similar styled japanese style RPGs, that I might be actually able to finish in a month or so? #3: 3DO: Icebreaker: An older puzzle/action game. You have a pseudo 3D playfield with pyramids, and you need to destroy them all by ramming them, shooting them, etc. Some pyramids "walk" and chase you, while others stay put. Nice and easy to veg out to. The music is nice, but they could have added a few more sound-tracks for more variety. EdF P.S. I don't have a Saturn, hence the 3DO substitution! :-)
