Mega Mana 01/20/21 10:44:08 AM #140:	Secret of Evermore, yes. Bartzyx posted... What makes this game stand out for me is the atmosphere. It has a very dark and quiet feel to it which is in stark contrast to most other SNES games that I played. The music and sound design is distinct and does a great job in making you feel isolated within the world. This. I don't have as many childhood portals as I thought I would (or at least have discovered), but thinking of this game transports my memory to bedroom of the the son of the family that sat me and my sister one summer, and while that was the first time I saw an RPG (Secret of Mana), the first time I played N64 (it just came out), and the first time I heard rap music (Notorious B.I.G.'s "Life After Death"), watching him and his friend in Crustacia with those gull caws and wispy windswept music as they grinded money for the Atlas Medallion. I don't know if I watched snymore of their play before or after, but skmehow watching them fight the same three guys over and over is just ingrained as a wonderful memory. Secret of Evermore was incredible and incredibly frustrating as a kid. I got so lost and so stuck so many times (navigating the chessboard and lost forest, navigating the pyramid a second time, the Deathflowers) it took me yeeeeaaars before I ever finished. But I loved it. The music, atmosphere, characters, environments... I wish we got mote Square USA attempts. IIRC, the same composer for Secret of Evermore did the music in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Skyrim --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD <cite>Mega Mana posted [p:949710836] in The Board ...
