I started playing Megazeux back in the late 90s (1996 I think), and I found this game by the UseNet Newsgroup alt.games.final-fantasy (AGFF). We had CSUSM as an ISP back then for dial-up through my Mom's work, and that's how I was able to navigate the web to download stuff on Usenet. My first MZX game was of course, Caverns of Zeux, but I also played Weirdness, and Engine by Luke Drelick. I also remember posting a few threads in there such a long time ago with my real name, and to my surprise, they are still there! I remember asking for help with something, and Luke Drelick himself replied to my thread and all, so I felt touched!
I'm now working in IT as a Sr. Systems Analyst, and I have been working the field since 2007, even though I built and have been building and upgrading PCs since the DOS days! I got the name "Tifas-Revenge" in 08/2004 on Diablo 2 ladder season 2 , so that's where my name comes from, and I ran Windows 98 at the time on an early Northwood 478-pin CPU Pentium 4 I had built.
That being said, I'm now planning on doing a Let's Play of Dr. Lancer-X game Megazeux Red, and since a lot of the older MZX games were based off of Final Fantasy games, I thought I would change around some of the music to some RPGs done around that era, but if this offends anyone though, I'll just revert the music back to its original state because I don't want to get off on the wrong foot. The game reminds me so much of Lufia 2 that I just was like "I have to use the Lufia 2 music theme for battles!" I mean, part of me wants to honor the golden age of Squaresoft gaming in the 90s and the beginnings of Megazeux. I remember the very first "Unofficial Squaresoft Homepage" by Andrew Vestal as he had a bunch of MODs, S3Ms, and MIDI files on there which were done excellently for the time. I also remember Luke D. creating FFEdventure and SDBOI which I really enjoyed a lot.
But hey, I cannot please everyone, and it would be the first Let's Play of Red, so depending on the reactions I get from everyone here or on Youtube, I'll modify how I play the game, the music, or anything else, as I do appreciate everyone's hard work on the game.
