🕹️✨ Remember When the PS2 Was the King of RPGs?
There was something magical about popping in a PS2 disc, hearing that iconic startup sound, and diving into a
I just wrote up a list celebrating some of the best and most underrated PS2 RPGs—the ones that made us fall in love with turn-based battles, epic soundtracks, and ridiculous boss fights.

Will use the upcoming public holidays in Germany to do some #Owncast streaming. 🎥

There is a bunch of stuff that needs to be refurbished, especially some PS2 and Wii loot. The PS2 comes with a lot of games, also some rare JRPG titles I have never seen before. 🇯🇵

And there still is the All Chaos Emeralds challenge in Sonic 2. Still practicing the Special Stages offstream but that should be done soon.💎

So, it took... Probably as long as I expected.
But I managed to get all the collectables on Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction for #PS2

I was wrong in an earlier toot about the collectables. There is a bonus for getting all 110 Blueprints and National Treasures. After getting 110 Blueprints, you get a cheat to play as Han Solo from Star Wars.

The game was made by Pandemic, who did the battlefront games, and LucasArts was involved. So I don't blame them for leveraging some of those connections to get a cheat like this in the game. Han is unique to the #PlayStation version, I have read that Xbox players get a cheat for Indiana Jones, which is still pretty cool.

Anyway, I am glad this suffering is over, even using a map and guides. The collectables in this game are not easy to find. Sometimes, they glitch through the floor, forcing you to reload a save and pray they spawn in correctly.

At least the fun part can resume of actually playing the game!
