ravenworks' journal made me nostalgic, and made me remember that I was actually playing through it again the last time I got nostalgic, and still had a save from fairly late in the game (somewhere around Goa Fortress, to be precise) before it randomly fell back into the backlog. Well, I still had the save assuming the battery hadn't died yet or anything. I actually have yet to lose any NES/SNES/Game Boy data (or at least confirm that it's lost, though I will admit that there are a few games I haven't checked in years, so who knows,) but the batteries on just about all of them have to be on "any day now" status by now, I would think.
Anyway. Played it again, still had the save, so I beat it. The endboss is almost insultingly easy compared to the three or four That One Bosses and hellish final dungeon you go through first. I actually remembered "okay, I beat this game years ago and don't remember too much, except I think I remember the endboss being a bit of an anticlimax" and was still surprised by how quickly and effortlessly victory was attained.
But, I mean, the journey, everything along the way, that entire game (which has good length for an NES action-RPG, by the way.) And then there's all the music...God, I love Crystalis.
