The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

I meant to play a bit of Astro Boy to give the Micro a work out but I had a quick look at Final Fantasy and ended up getting sucked in again. Wasn’t sure what to do next so just went for a wander. Rescued a fairy, got a Warp Cube from a robot (not

Hellfire Chasm – what a git! I became hopelessly lost and wandered about for ages before getting to the boss. And I’m not sure it was worth it, given what I won by defeating him. But never mind. Interestingly, after level 5 in the dungeon, there was a teleport back to the surface and a

Airship get! And it’s ACE 🙂 The screen does a shift into a kinda mode 7 SNES 3D mode and the wee ship scrolls about the place in a zippy manner. Should make navigating the map a bit quicker. Before getting the airship, though, a bit of levistone fetching was required from the ice cavern

FIRE CRYSTAL AWAKENATED! Mount Gulg was less imposing than expected, although the constant health drain of walking on lava had to be watched pretty closely. I’ve noticed a strange thing about the amount of experience handed out in the game, though. Defeating a couple of 300HP Minotaurs occasionally yields 2000xp, but defeating the dungeon boss

I’m not afraid to admit it. After defeat0ring the Earth spirit (a Lich) and returning the glowy goodness to the earth crystal, I figured it was logical to pop along to the earthgift shrine for a nose – given they’d gone to the trouble of showing me a wee cutscene of it. Well, it’s a

EARTH STAFF GET! Phew! Got the the end of the third level of the Cavern of Earth and met the pointy toothed one. A swift staking later and I realised that things weren’t going to be as straightforward as expected. So, off on a quick voyage back to where I came from, fed a big

Well, I’ve come across a little village which is looking a little rough. Thing is, the Earth is decaying because the four crystals have gone out and it appears that the closer you get to where the energy sources were there worse the decay gets. Anyhoo, it appears that there’s a vampire in the Cavern

Bad Place pillaged, other stuff done, many baddies defeat0red. It was a fairly extended session last night, but then Final Fantasy is like that. Amongst other things, I chatted with some dwarfs in a mine, got loads of Mythril weapons, and helped blow a dirty great chunk of land to kingdom come – conveniently making

Potion used, pointy-eared bloke awakened. So that little quest netted a bunch of armour and weapon upgrades, 17,000 gil, all in – and about 345873498579 experience points. The party is now at level 17. One final artifact gained from the quest is a key which opens various locations around the world map and….. a whole

Well, I’ve discovered that me old mate FatHippy is going to be playing this as of Tuesday, so I’ll try and avoid any spoilers. Not that there’s much to spoil – everything so far has been pretty much as expected for a Final Fantasy games. Loads of battles, loads of to-ing an fro-ing. Anyhoo, JOLT
