Isn't Zillion (SMS) kind of Metroid-esque?

Do you have haste yet?

Hmm I think I do -- that slows the enemy down right?

speeds you up.

also, heal every turn whether you think you'll need it or not.

speeds you up.

ok, I'll try that.

yeah, i usually only had my healer attacked on the first round to "get one in."

Got my second wind with Tales of Symphonia tonight. I'll hand it to the writers - the mysteries and conspiracies are presented with such a heavy hand that it's almost painful but the story is still good enough that I am interested despite the somewhat sloppy presentation.

That's what I hear. It is also supposed to be one of the finest SMS games, so I figure it is high time I played it.

I am trying to figure out what pick-up-and-play game to go after while I keep working on Chrono Trigger. Is anyone else planning on playing one of these and would like to join in?

-Guardian Heroes (SATURN)
-MUSHA (GENESIS)
-Zillion (SMS)
-Gunhed (PCE)

I'd be up for getting stuck into some Blazing Lasers, even if I am playing Banjo and planning on starting FFIX soon.

Cool, I'll plan to give it a go this weekend.

If you find Tales of Symphonia too juvenile in the end, I would recommend Tales of the Abyss instead. It is much more deep and mature of a game, but I personally liked Symphonia better.

More FFXII tonight. Around 10 and a half hours in now. Got stuck on a boss and had to back track and do a bit of grinding. I've been kind of speeding through some parts so it was expected to happen sooner or later. Did a bit of exploring/grinding and was able to go back and kill the boss I was stuck on after learning my first Mist skill. Not to sure exactly what I'm supposed to be doing while performing the Mist move though. I'm sure there is a tutorial in the options that I should probably look up. For some reason I enjoyed the game a bit more today than I did yesterday.
