I haven't used it in a while, so I don't know if it still works, but the one I had is called Buycott.

I was gonna diagnose you with Vinny Derangement Syndrome, but either you're exactly right, or I have it too

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.

Every day I pray to whatever benevolent god(s) are out there that CT is never remade/remastered.

If it is, I hope it's everything you want it to be, but I know I won't be touching it.

Completely unrelated, but your comment reminded me of this old meme that always cracked me up

"We apologize for the apology. Those responsible for demanding it have been sacked."

Hmm, reminds me of another republican tv-host-turned-president 🤔

What's wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don't usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.

The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.

The only Zelda-like I can think of right now is Tunic. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a great game. It's on PC and all the major consoles. I'd say it's more like the pre-N64 Zeldas than the open-world ones. Also has an in-game manual that's 100% inspired by the manual that came with the first Zelda on NES. Incredibly charming game.

"BILLY EYE LASH" probably

Respect 👍 I still have all my old consoles and games from my childhood, all the way back to the NES. And I still collect classics that I didn't grow up with. Hope you play yours on a good ol' CRT :)

I really like DKR but I was never amazing at it. Especially the boss races. Killer soundtrack though. I listen to it more often than I play the game lol

In case you don't know about it, there's a cool site called Retro Achievements that has community-curated achievement sets for thousands of games (and leaderboards for specific tasks, like Mario 64's Princess' Secret Slide), and it integrates nicely with RetroArch and Dolphin (I haven't looked into other emulators, but I'm sure there are other supported ones). It's given me a great reason to play all my childhood games again, instead of playing them just to waste time.

Speaking of BK, I finished that set just last night and it was so satisfying. I'm sure you'd make short work of the DKR achievements!

Came here to say this! Take my upvote!
