Whew! I've been too disposed to add to my PSX/PS2 ranking list, but I finally caught up by adding three games and mini-reviews. I hope my writing quality didn't suffer too much from the cram session.

I'd appreciate any feedback. Added Tsugunai: Atonement, Mega Man Legends, and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.

Replaying this in preparation for beating Mega Man Legends 2 for the first time. Actually, this will be my first time completing the PSX version of MML. I owned the N64 version growing up.

This game is an utter delight, just as I remember. The action gameplay is clunky, but the art direction is top notch. What's surprising me, if anything, is how quickly paced the game is. I'm trying to recall the content I remember alongside the scope of the game's world map, and it seems like it could be a fairly short game.

Servbots coming off as an actually cute and endearing version of the Minions concept, which makes it all the more a shame they belong to a dead IP, while Minions and Rabbids are doing fine

I did finish this one a while back, and unfortunately my initial enthusiasm for the game gradually deteriorated the more I played, until it finally evaporated and I decided I needed to drop it and move on. (I watched the remaining cutscenes I needed to on Youtube. And WOW, what a complete nonsense finale that was!) Long story short, this is definitely a game of its era and definitely feels like it was innovative for its time. But it got tedious after a while, and some of the bosses were awfully frustrating. Too many times where it feels like the game requires you to move much more quickly and nimbly than the controls are actually capable of allowing you to maneuver with. I'm sure that with enough perseverance I could have eventually pushed my way through, but it just wasn't fun anymore.

I do own the sequel (digitally), and am still interested in giving it a go one day. But I'll probably want to emulate for the sake of using save states. The setting and general presentation for Mega Man Legends is endearing, but the gameplay... the struggle is real, and not in a good way.

On a whim, I decided to pick up this game since it was on sale for two bucks. I wasn't expecting much from it, but I'm already a couple hours in and having a surprisingly good time. The controls are definitely... a product of their time. But the game has a certain charm to it that has won me over. …

On a whim, I decided to pick up this game since it was on sale for two bucks. I wasn't expecting much from it, but I'm already a couple hours in and having a surprisingly good time. The controls are definitely... a product of their time. But the game has a certain charm to it that has won me over. I hesitate to call the characters or story good -- but it's all very cute and amusing. Feels like a cheesy Saturday morning kids' anime, but in an endearing way. I might go ahead and pick up Megaman Legends 2 and the Tron Bonne spinoff while they're both on sale for $2 as well.

Will mention that I'm playing PS1 games like these on my Vita, which I try to always tell people is a wonderful way to experience those older classics. They look nice on a smaller handheld screen, and you can remap all the buttons however you wish. This means I can change R2 (the lock-on button) to the R1 shoulder button, and make the R1 and L1 camera rotating be mapped to the right joystick (right and left). Also, I set the left joystick to move Mega Man, instead of having to use the D-pad. It's still pretty clunky, but setting it up this way helps a lot IMO.

When I was a kid and had this game, I could never get past the first Teisel Bonne boss battle.

I just beat that boss handily on my Vita (using controls mapped to the analog sticks). My 12-year-old self is avenged.
