About Trey McGowan
Expertise
I can answer strategy questions for just about any video games. RPGs and collecting/raising sims are my major specialty, though I am also experienced in general strategy games, a variety of MMORPGs, and possibly even some much more esoteric ones. I can't promise that I'll be able to answer all your questions from personal experience, but I can promise that if I can't, I will do my utmost to research the answer before I give it to you.

Best consoles to ask about: NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Playstation, Playstation II. If you are asking outside of this list, please give a little extra time for some research to be done on the game.

Please note: if you are wanting a particular version of strategy (i.e. a *fast* playthrough, a powerful playthrough, a challenge game, a specific boss beat in a specific way), make sure the details are added. The more I know about what *you* want to know, the better.

Experience
I am an avid player of video games of various types, including RPGs, strategy games, MMORPGs, et cetera. I have been playing since the Atari 1300 days, and even back then, learning the strategy and the like of the games was as interesting as beating it.

Organizations
Various video game boards, including GameFAQs

Video Game Strategies - Old RPG

Expert: Trey McGowan - 11/7/2009

Question
Not really needing a strategy, just wanting to see if you could help me in remembering an old RPG. If I don't give enough detail about it, let me know and I will try to remember more about the game. I can't figure out the name but I remember a couple of scenes, one is the character is in a main town that has multiple levels and at the top is a giant dragon head that wishes for help in finding his baby. Another scene takes place in an underwater area where you get a trident to fight with. The last scene i can remember is about is a boss battle in a pyramid where its a sphinx. Also if it helps, the whole game is a side-scrollingish non random battle rpg. If i remember right it should have been out around the 90's

Answer
Hi there, Kyle!

Just in glancing at it, nothing comes to mind. That doesn't mean I'm done with this , though! :)

a) Do you remember what platform this game was out for? Did you play it on ROM or on the actual platform itself?

b) By 'non-random battle' RPG, do you mean it was an action RPG a la Legend Of Gaia/Terranigma? Or that you can see all the battles moving around before you engage them a la Lufia 2? (for the record, I don't think either of these is the game, but it'll give me a better feel for what sort of 'feel' the game has to it)

c) Is there anything memorable about the battle system, leveling system (having to place your points), et cetera?

4) Can you recall how large your party was? Most 'standard' RPGs are a 4-man party, but a lot of action RPGs are single person.

I'm always up for a mystery, so I'm quite happy to hunt down this game and see if I can't remember it or at least find it for you!
