have you actualy played SMT1-2 bebs? i tried once and they are just so primitive,no skill description,barely any hint where to go or what to do,molasses pacing,random encounters everywhere and just frustating to play...
my favourite things in SMT1 is how when you get poisoned the screen flashes in the ugliest shade of green you have ever seen every single step,it's the first case where a bad effect on the character (poison) will cause a bad effect on the player (blind)
