    Couple of weeks ago I played digimon world 1 on an emulator. After over 20 years of it releasing it runs flawlessly and looks much better than before, to make things even nicer it has been getting unofficial patches with the latest version coming out like a month ago. Games don’t need to die, we can keep them going forever.

      How did you like it, btw? I loved the idea as a kid, but was pissed as hell I kept getting Numemon and dying. Didn’t get back into it until Digimon World 3, which was very different gameplay-wise.

      I may have just been a particularly dumb kid though, wondering if it’s worth giving another shot.

        Man it is fun and the patch/emulator really made it age quite nicely. HOWEVER, I cannot stress this enough, this game was NOT made to be played blind. Like, holy shit I dont think any kid ever bear it by himself.

        As a kid I didnt speak english so I didnt know the potty item was used for you digimon to poop, I also didnt know there were toilets around the owrld besides the one in town. Lets just say I got a lot of sukamon. This time I read about the game and as you can probably surmise, I know some english now so it was MUCH easier, managed to get an ultimate digimon first try.

        So overall its an easy recommend, just make sure to patch it and use a guide cause fuck figuring out the crazy stuff the game asks of you while your digimon life ticks away!
