All the Rest of Dragon Quest
A spin-off of a spin-off draws near! People liked the idea of Final Fantasy spin-offs, but did you know Dragon Quest has plenty of spin-offs too? And lots are over ten years old. If it's a DQ spin-off, and it released before 2009, then play it 'til the slimes come home! More about Dragon Quest spin-offs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_D ... #Spin-offs
Classic '90s RTS
The 1990s were a boon for Real Time Strategy. (Lament the many mice destroyed via furious clicking of Surge addled RTS fiends.) Let us revisit the golden era of this genre. If it's an RTS game released between 1990-1999, it counts. Observe. Plan. React! Obvious choices: Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Warcraft, Dune II, Total Annihilation, Dark Reign,, Myth: The Fallen Lords, Herzog Zwei (released 1990 USA) and many more.
Eighties' Ladies' Night
You might think back in the '80s video game females didn't get too many protagonist gigs. Well, you may be surprised at how many video games actually did feature females in the lead. Take a break from the sausage parties, and play some of these muliebrous milestones! If it's a game from 1980-1989 and features a female protagonist, it counts. Obvious choices: System D.P. AKA Milia in The Guardian Legend, Samus Aran in Metroid, Alis Landale in Phantasy Star, Princess Rosella in King's Quest IV, Laura Bow in The Colonel's Bequest, Reika Kirishima in Time Gal , Mary in Quartet, Apple in Zillion, Konami Lady in Wai Wai World, and a whole lot more.
Koei Klassics
Everybody's who played games in the '80s and '90s has heard of Koei. They made those boring looking strategy games you always passed over at the video rental store. Guess what? You're older now. You may presently appreciate Koei's level of strategic complexity in your old wiser age. Why not be Genghis Khan? Or sail the seas as a savage pirate? How about running your own airport? Or winning the battles Napoleon lost? Maybe you'd just like to squash a roach? Koei has made a LOT of games. Any Koei developed title at least ten years old is solid for this TR choice. Chances are you haven't beaten any of them anyway. (Me either.) It's finally time to fix that!
Premillennial Mech Madness
Before 2000 many amazing mecha games were made. Some action oriented, some strategy oriented, some simulator oriented, and some were even fighter oriented. Everybody loves giant robots, right? EVERYBODY WHO'S AWESOME THAT IS. You'd have to be dead inside not to want to crush foes beneath giant metallic feet of doom. If it's a game about controlling a mech/robot (big or small), and it released before the year 2000, than said game counts for this TR. Let your geek flag fly high, and strap into some hard hittin' mecha action! Obvious choices: Assault Suits Valken, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, Front Mission, Metal Warriors, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Duel, Future Cop: L.A.P.D., Tech Romancer, Armored Core, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On, Thexder, and a bajillion others.
