Earthbound is cool.

[Xion]

Never got far in the game, but the "fly" in the beginning made me laugh really really hard.

Warlords Battle Cry 2 is a RTS and a RPG mix sorta.  You have one main unit who levels up and gains skill points and learns new spells.  Yet you also have control over hundreds of other units and you build and thrive.

Earthbound is cool.

I'm quoting for emphasis.

Best soundtrack ever put in a game, too.

I've never heard of an RTS like FFTA or Fire Emblem; they're all like Warcraft or AOE. It'd be cool if you only had a limited number of units to begin with, each with its own skills, in an RTS. No creating new units or anything.

Only played a couple RTS -command & conquer, warcraft- but both had missions exactly like this where you had a set number of units nad thus you had to rely on the unique advantages of each to beat the mission. They're interesting as a change of pace, but can become quite a bit restrictive as they lack the number of strategies that being able to create troops brings. Like for instance you'll always be forced to use long range fighters as scouts, otherwise your short rangers will get killed off too early.

Warlords sounds eactly like the hero characters system used in Warcraft 3

Gunz is an fps blended well enough to be some sort of fix of RTS and FFTA
you'd only be controllign one unit though.

look into mods or hero only maps for any warcraft?

I think it would be fun to have a more customized Command and Conquer. My brother's gone so far as to suggest a RTS like command and conquer where you deal with a zombie virus outbreak, or you could be a dark organization that is trying to use the virus and do some kind of 'zombie herding': Command and Conquer: Biohazard! heh... I would like one that's more RISK like, with research paths and dealing with mass production of units. Would be fun if we could all do some sprites for it and build such a game.

Have any of you ever beaten Cave Story?

I'm stuck and need help...

You know that part after you beat that wheely Monster-X and you need to get past the boulder? I can't seem to figure out how to get past the boulder. It says like "Jump from the red mark to the platform" but I'm confused how to do that.

Help please!

The red mark comment relates to the previous room where the professor guy was. To get past, all you have to do is talk to the boulder.

[Sawtooth]

I've beaten the game a couple of times, and if I recall all you need to do is make sure you have curly with you, or at least talk to her between beating monster-x and going to the door.

One of these days I will replay it again and beat hell.
