Yeah, I have that and the PS2 one too. It went online, but I haven't tried that at all because it's only on PC so far. 

The Surge looks pretty neat. I usually get frustrated with more tactical type fighting games like the Souls game, but I admire what they do. I'll give it a shot if it appears on Game Pass. 

I found a list of codes in my graph paper book for Swords and Serpents. I don't even remember playing that NES game.  

"The difficulty is like life, true to experience. Try and master it." That's how I imagine Japanese developers thinking (likely not the case). ha ha

Yeah, I was leveling him with a higher level party. I thought he'd survive it but the enemies seemed to key on him. 

It might be a better strategy to change class later rather than earlier? I started by changing classes as soon as I was able, but maybe it's better to level up a Mage, let's say, to a high level and them make him a Wizard. I believe he keeps as his spells and just starts adding cleric spells. 

I never knew games like FInalizer and Strategy X even exited until Xbox 360's Game Room. 

I have PS2 on Xbox One. I can play 4, I think, on the Sega Genesis Classics Collection for Xbox One. I'm going to consider playing one of them this month. 

I probably connected to the internet for the first time in 2000 when I got my first serious PC. I started blogging the same time as you in 2010 on 1UP.. I nver got featured, or made any kind of career out of writing, but it sure was fun. 

In 2013 I started here because of 1UP's demise. It's been fun and I love reading everyone's blogs. I realize the majority of gamers have gone to watching video streams, but I'm kind of shy and feel more comfortable hiding behind the written word. 

Your blog makes me feel like being at a big banquet table after a great speach following a toast. So I say, :"here, here", and bang my cup on the table. 

That's totally Mark and I. He's the competitive one, I'm not. 

Cool, I didn't know that. I totally played a lot of Frogger both arcade and 2600 back in the day. 

I want to make it my mission to finish one of the Phantasy Star games. I've tried 1-4 and bounced off all of them, less so with 4. I did finish Shining in the Darkness though.
