Found a fun bug in Baroque on PS2 and am now just trying to imagine a roguelike designed around this intentionally. Each hallway and room on the minimap making more of the game space viewable.

Post a random game in your collection, here on Saturday.
Etrian Odyssey 3 sure did go above and beyond. Fun class refreshes and character build options on top of what already made the series great. The boat section is alright too.

Loved these systems! Got back into happening upon cartridges and focusing through some great games.
Shipping them away today. Less due to amazing upscalers and mister options, and more because my mom sent me a photo of a Bubble Bobble cartridge along with "How can I play this?!"
