Going old school again but this time the Sega route.
Sword of Vermilion was an amazing game I was obsessed with on the Sega Genesis. I am so glad Nintendo represents a Genesis collection to relive those classics.

Take Phantasy Star and add a dash of Ys with a hint of Zelda 2. You've got Sword of Vermilion for the Sega Genesis.

I think every inn in this game has a window that says this. I can’t find any information to what it means or if it refers to something.

I thought I could just keep going and tackle the next boss. Nope. Too difficult. So I look up the recommended level. 21. I was only at 17 at that point. And I couldn’t afford the best sword, either, so I had to fly back to the first village (with magic) and start grinding my way back. I am now at Barrow, two places away from Helwig. One more level to the recommended one, so… I might fly back one more time.

I have reached Helwig.
There aren’t as many boss fights as I expected. There were a few villages that had none, and the latest in the previous place was surprisingly easy.
I have a map to help me stay on track where I’m going between villages, so I figured I’d count how many villages I have left. Helwig is the fifth last place. So I’m farther than I thought!
Inventory is limited and while I am lvl 17, MPs aren’t as plentiful as I’d hope, but the spells are helpful!

Yes, I am still enjoying the HECK out of this game! Just listen to the music for a bit! I’m in a cave looking for some kims (money) that I was told would be here. It is a bit easier to understand what certain items and spells do when you have a guide to help out. The game offers zero help with anything. I guess back in the day trial and error was the thing, but I do prefer to know what, say, an agave jewel does (which I misread and used in error to replenish mp 😂)

I am still enjoying #SwordofVermilion so much. As a kid I probably wouldn’t had understood it, seeing how I only started learning English aged 8. But I’m wondering whether I’d taken the time to try and figure it out.
Nonetheless, I am enjoying it heaps now that I know of it and have a chance to play it.

There are a lot of things I wonder whether I’d liked them as a kid, but I missed out because nobody else cared about those things like I probably would had.
I can catch up now, though 😊

Tea and #VideoGames
I wanted warm tea. Not hot, warm. So my Joker tumbler became the solution. I can stop the kettle before it boils, and the mug keeps it at that temperature for way longer than a regular mug.
Village 4 has just been finished in #SwordOfVermilion and while the cave had more challenging opponents, it had no boss fight, which is nice. I just had to find the right person in the village (kind of guessed who it might be).

The villagers are back to normal and have lots to tell me about the next location and that there are more rings, 8 good and 8 evil ones. I found my way to the next village, but backtracked to a previous one because I still haven’t found the Cave of Troy.
