Hey guys. I got stupid and made a silly ass intro. Anyone remember Crystalis?

fuck yeah i do. this is one of those games similar to loz and is actually good.

Not like deadly towers which is a rage fest.

One of the greatest NES adventures. There's this incredibly badass feeling when you're making your way up Mount Sabre while taking out Dragoon forces who have occupied it. Like some sort of Etzio/James Bond mashup.

I actually have never played this. It also has been quite a while since I have tackled an NES game. I may have to find time for this one.

I never played it legitimately. I'll have to remedy that as its a game I've always wanted to play.

I've always considered 'Crystalis' to be the closest thing to a 'Zelda III' that we ever had, for the system, and I look forward to watching your video.

This is one of the truest statements I have read. heck, even when someone *did* do a fake screenshot of an unreleased Zelda 3 for NES, it looked like, well, Crystalis.

The closest we ever got to Zelda III on the SNES was Lagoon.
Why, oh why did Nintendo never make a Zelda III??? :crying:

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

There is a Zelda III on the SNES

It has a learning curve for sure. Maybe about as difficult. It's a side scroller as opposed to top down. Definitely unforgiving at times but a lot of fun.
