They DEFINITELY needed more RPGs on the 64.

Ha, my story is a little bit different.

I wasn't a N64 kid. The N64 was expensive here in my country (and so were the cartridges, costing about US$200 on average). The PSX was cheaper and pirating its titles was a widespread practice due to the lower socioeconomical status in comparison to USA's. Finding cheaply priced CD's was very easy (US$2 to US$12, depending on disc quality and number).

My friend had a Tactics Ogre CD which I traded for about 4-5 of my games (all very cheap back then, especially given that finding a TO CD was a bit harder). It was badly scratched but it lasted long enough until I managed to find an ISO from the internet and play it on the emulator a few years later.

That's when I found out about N64 and the other titles in the Ogre series and tried them all. I confess the PSX title is the only Ogre title I finished - I always stop after a while every time I try the other games. I play TO to this day and take care of the Tactics Ogre Forums where we discuss the Ogre series but mostly the PSX title, its remake and its hacks (thanks, Japan Laughing

).

I bought the game brand new for around $60 when it came out; along with a strategy guide that I wish I could find (I probably threw it away while cleaning up :[).

Same, except I have my strategy guide still. It fell apart years ago though and has been wrapped with rubber bands since then.

Also, the guide by Prima (I think) was pretty bad. I mostly used it for the maps with item locations.

Yeah I just bought it for 30 off ebay. OMG uhhh The Japanese one was more helpful. owo But I do plan I using it in the future for the site. But still...cool but not worth it.

I was hyped for the Nintendo Power coverage and rented it from the local video store. Loved the game, though I didn't understand much of what I was doing, tactically xD

I was just charging people with Magnus' unit all the time. Then I rented it again and saw my game was still there, so I restarted the right way. After a few rents, my parents hunted it down (was apparently quite difficult!) so I could get it on Christmas. xD

OB64 is probably my favorite game of all time ^_^

Oh! Speaking of stealing, I just got another copy for a steal! Only 6 bucks!

I still have to test it, but I wonder what data is on it! >w<

I remember when I first started playing it,I didn't know much too. I didnt know how to change my units's equipment and let alone even dispatch them, So you can imagine how many units magnus

had to kill by himself and his unit. After getting game overs in mission 3, I got sick of the game and decided to put it down for around a year. A year later I got bored and decided to played it(after playing its tutorial) and found myself enjoying it.
