RE: Death, Sleep, Secret of Mana, and Other Considerations
Lovely tune, sad story, thought-provoking musings. It's strange how powerful music can be when it comes to triggering memories. I had no game systems other than PC in my youth, so I missed out on the SNES in its heyday. I should try an emulator, perhaps with a Raspberry Pi?
My first instinct is to say, "Of course you should!" because I think everyone should play the SNES. :)
My second instinct is to say, "Yes, but...", because we're going back more than twenty years at this point, and games are different. I, personally, love the 16-bit look on games, and there are some bona fide classics from this age, not least of which are the holy Nintendo trinity of Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Secret of Mana is one action RPG that I think everyone should experience, so I will say yes: grab yourself an emulator and get to playing. :)
Old games can still hold up with good mechanics and writing despite "obsolete" specs.
SNES is the perfect system to put on your mobile device, there are many very good free emulators, as well as cool pay for options on Android, but I am sure other systems have great options too. SNES roms are a DuckDuckGo search away, tiny files, lots of fun.
