I finished Adventure of Link yesterday. I think next up I will play Link’s Awakening…
Month: January 2020
Most Powerful Magic
“I can give you most powerful magic.” I love the dialog in old NES games. Also the CRT-mimicking filter (left, obviously) is uncannily accurate.
Mostly Zelda or Mario
(And by video games I mostly mean Legend of Zelda or Mario games.)
Play more video games!
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to play more video games, so I’ve been trying to stick to that. (I often go months without playing anything, which is lame.)
Adventure of Link
I’m playing Adventure of Link on the NES Classic and making extensive (ab)use of the save point feature. This game was hard! I had attempted a play through almost two years ago, but gave up because the combats were so difficult.
Level 8
I restarted my play through of The Adventure of Link (NES), only this time I spent a few hours xp farming in the first palace. I finished Parapa Palace with Attack, Magic, and Life fully leveled up. That should make the remainder of the game considerably easier.

Ski Gemsberg
Another excellent day in the mountains around First. This is on one of my favorite pistes, Gemsberg. There were mountain goats (not pictured).
Memories from First
The last time we were in this area was back in September, and we were hiking above First when we got the call that my father had died. I thought of him frequently today. My love of the mountains comes from him.
