No particular order. In the interest of saving space on your screens I've shied away from linking all of these Youtube videos directly. Edit - Dropping Risk of Rain up here at the top. Phenomenal soundtrack. Every track is extremely well done and it's one of the few albums where I never skip a song. Toss up between Monsoon and Precipitation for my personal favorite songs. FTL (PC) and the expansion. Both links are to the musician's website where you can play them by track. Titles marked (explore) are slower, while (battle) are faster/more energetic. StarCraft/Brood War - Opening Theme (PC) and Terran One even though the Terran are dirty scrubs. Metroid Prime (GC) Shoutout to Phendrana Drifts Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GC) Playlist, unfortunately. Main Theme, Torvus Bog, and Chykka Larva are all solid picks. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) Earthbound (SNES) The first game I remember getting angry at. That bitch killed my bee friend. One of the best and most trippy RPGs of all time. Chrono Trigger (SNES) Mega Man X (SNES) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) Europa Universalis 4 - Eire (PC) Goldeneye 007 - Facility (N64) Battletanx - Main Theme (N64) Bomberman (N64) Ragnarok Online (PC) Jurassic Park (SNES) For some reason this game was really overlooked. Pretty much every track is awesome. Sins of a Solar Empire - Opening Theme (PC) Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion - Opening Theme (PC) Civilization IV - Baba Yetu (PC) That's all I can think of off the top of my head. May end up with a few more later.
I'm stuck on the Noether (Zoltan B). Stupid thing has no shields, so the first 200 scrap goes to upgrading shields + reactor. An early asteroid field or beam weapon = gg real fast. Boarding parties wreck your poor Zoltan crewmembers. Made it to Sector 5 last time and forgot to re-power my O2 after repairing it during a tough fight. Whole crew suffocated.
God I've had some awful, awful runs on that game. I've never really made it very far at all - I think, more than anything, I just enjoyed always starting over, just rolling the dice and seeing how I did, knowing full well that I was crap at the game and would probably die very rapidly, haha.
Yeah, you can really get screwed out of nowhere. This past week I had 4 consecutive runs that I lost within 4 jumps of starting, but I did end up winning with the Zoltan B, so that's good. The Lanius are by far my favorite guys to run with. Venting all the O2 out of the ship and upgrading door strength makes boarding parties hilarious. Also getting a crew teleporter and jumping your guys into the enemy Med/Clone Bay and then the O2 room produces similarly enjoyable results.
