- I liked it, although it got kind of tedious after a while. Given the
- selection available for the SNES (english versions only), sad to say
- that it's probably the best RPG currently available.

-
- Ultima VI has been out for the Super Famicom for about a year already;
- does anyone know if there are plans to make this available in english?
- You have to watch out, though; they're squeezing a game that was what,
- eight megabytes (?), into an eight megabit cartridge, so it's bound to
- be a more limited game in some sense.

- Yeah, definitely. I wouldn't mind fighting so much, if either: 1)
- combat is interesting and fun, or 2) there's an option to have the
- computer fight the battle for you. Bard's Tale had neither. :(

- >Are these games available for the SNES?? If so, where?
-
- Final Fantasy V is currently being translated, I think, and will
- probably be released under a different name here. I hope they do a
- better job translating FFV than they did FFII:
-
- Tellah: "You spoony bard!"
-
- still cracks me up. :)
-
- I don't think Romancing Saga is gonna be translated. It's copyrighted
- 1991, so you'd think they'd have translated it by now if they were going
- to do it...
