Redemption Arc [RA]


I tend to drop games when I get frustrated or bored with them.
This project sees me return to the games I perhaps dropped too soon.

Some of these are games I played as a teenager.
I still own the original ROMs but the save files seem to have disappeared or been corrupted.
Pokemon Gold, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon... all gone!

NOTE: some of these are games already mentioned in prior lists.
Them being here hopefully convinces me to get further than I did last time I played.
