This is the official thread of the July VGConnect. Post anything related to Startropics here: Until July 1st gets here, what are your memories of this game? This was actually a childhood favorite of mine. It was one of the easiest games to find toward the end of the NES's life. I remember going into a KB Toys all the time and they would just have copy after copy of Star Tropics and Zoda's Revenge. The abundance of copies is what I remember most. ;D I think I eventually bought them both new in the playstation/saturn/n64 era actually. This was like mid to late 90s. This was probably the first RPG that made sense. Up until this point I don't even think I knew that Zelda had dungeons. I just did not "get" RPG games. I remember StarTropics being a good intro to RPGs. I always found it a bummer Zoda's Revenge was not a SNES game. I wonder how the series would have done if that was the case. |

My cousin had Startropics when we were kids. I remember him showing me it and I instantly fell in love with it, but never picked up my own copy. I borrowed it countless times over the course of my early gaming days and got really far, but never finished it. Love the music in this game. |

StarTropics was actually the first and only game that I called the Nintendo Help Line for. Well, also Mario 64 but that was because of my cartridge was glitched... StarTropics was the one game I called them because I was actually stuck in it. So it's notable for that in my memories. As an NES game in general it's notable for being the only NES game developed by Nintendo themselves that didn't get a japanese release at all (I think... oh and the sequel of course... correct me if I'm wrong). There's also the Nintendo version of Tetris, but they got another version so I don't count that :P It's one of my favorite NES games actually. If I managed to be able to make a top 10 for the system, it would be in there. Amazing music, I liked the storyline and setting, badass gameplay... there's nothing really wrong about it. Sad that Zoda's Revenge didn't live up to the first AT ALL, it's terrible in comparison. I'll definitely play through this soon for the VGConnect :P |

I kinda enjoyed Zoda's Revenge and thought it was neat. But agree that it seemed like a lesser version of the game. Eventually I want to get both on NES, all I have is Startropics on Wii VC right now. |
