    I always wanted to try the Summon Knight games, but never seen a copy out in the wild. I mostly remember it from write ups in Nintendo Power and word of mouth from the gaiaonline forums. Apparently the game was pretty gay for a game released in the early 2000s (at least if you played as the female protag)

    I definitely enjoyed Sword of Mana, though it definitely felt unpolished compared to what Square was putting out in those days. I just remember the OST hitting pretty hard, and me holding the GBA up to my ear to jam to the songs.

      I don’t know what it means for a game to be “gay”. I played as the girl for both Summon Knight games and they seemed normal to me. There weren’t any dating systems or anything like that.

      Dawn of Mana on PS2 had a higher quality version of “Endless Battlefield” from Sword of Mana. The GBA sound chip really held it back but the music was still very good.

        I could be thinking of another game on the gba, but it was a game where the female avatar was sort of an afterthought, so if you played as the girl, she would have the male’s same dialogue, and would flirt with some of the female characters in the game.
