Wander Wonder looks nice, but I couldn't find out if it was 2-player. Nope, it's single player only. If you two have DS units laying around, I strongly recommend Soma Bringer for co-op play with your wife. My wife and I really loved that one. |

Pretty sure that means games like Brandish 3 and 4 as well. Brandish 1 and 2 were also originally PC games, but they got ported to console later on. Might want to get back to that series one day.

If we count games that did get ported, you get a whole bunch of Falcom games, most of which are good to great. Lots of Ys games, Xanadu Next is very solid, I didn't like Gurumin but most people tend to, the first two Brandish games, etc...

I will shill for Brandish: The Dark Revenant. Fantastic game that Ex got me to finally jump into. It's much easier to play in that form that the SNES release. Later games add auto-mapping, which makes the perspective shifting easier to handle. |

Later games add auto-mapping, which makes the perspective shifting easier to handle. All the games have auto-mapping. I think the only difference is that Brandish 1 SNES requires you to access the map through the menu. |

toei : Whoops, yeah, you're right. Not having a mini-map is the correct statement. I'm not sure if that's true of the PC-98 version, though. EDIT: Yep, the PC-98 version has the mini-map. Nice.

Playing the game without *any* map would not be fun. There's a particular floor late in the game where you're moving in the dark and the only way to know where the floor is it to slash ahead of you to reveal that square on the map. Miss the floor and you fall back down one floor. Without the map, that part would be absurdly tedious. |

Yeah, I checked, and it does, thankfully. I know which floor you're talking about...

I didn't like Gurumin but most people tend to Yeah I tried Gurumin too and didn't stick with it. I found the game to be overtly childish, and annoying to play in general. However I tend to enjoy most of Falcom's output, and have beaten many Falcom action-JRPGs on PC. |

I just remember people calling it "charming" a lot, but then I've heard the same thing about Rhapsody on the PSX (apparently any game starring a goofy little girl is charming?) and that's one of the worst RPGs I've ever played, so... Gurumin wasn't that bad, but annoying to play and childish describes my view of it as well. |
