It wasn't set up with a real world / game world thing the way this Simon's Quest book is, but it was absolutely awful. It did, however, via its plot, teach me a few boss weaknesses that I hadn't found out on my own. Overall, it probably has some humor value nowadays, but it was by no means a good read. <br /><br />And also, I beg to differ on your insistence that Super Mario Advance was a landmark port. First of all, both Square and Enix have always been port-monsters, even prior to their 2003 merger. Final Fantasy I, II, IV, V, and VI in addition to Chrono Trigger had Playstation ports that made it to the United States before 2000, and a few others for the Wonderswan Color that didn't. Enix ported Dragon Warrior / Dragon Quest I, II, and III for both the SNES and GBC, but only the GBC versions made it to the United States. There was also a Playstation port of Dragon Quest IV and a PS2 port of Dragon Quest V that never made it outside their shores. So, bottom line, Super Mario Advance didn't exactly get the ball rolling for ports of classic games, even if it was a launch title.Sollosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034829964174631191noreply@blogger.com
