i was expecting to see 7 mentioned but at the time of tallying just 9 was mentioned. though i could have certainly misread or glossed over it. aside from tactics on the gba i haven’t touched the series despite it being popular.

I thought the lyric was ‘We get a livin, that came in our possession.’ which if it was the case is deep imo for a song about playstation games lol

where does the Alundra games sit for you? i guess maybe their more action/adventure than RPG?

i love your single sentence pitches. im sold on most of what you suggested.

Every time i see Omega Boost I think of Eifel 65’s song ‘My Consolle’

list away! i just didnt want anyone to feel obligated to type it all out! I did get your entries in my count :)

(Firstly, Apologize for formatting of this post)

(As of 2/26 2:00pm ish Pacific) Thanks for all the suggestions! It is clear that this is a library of games I certainly slept on. I’m looking forward to finding them to play!
