Would you agree, that if you're going to play cryptic games,

then the first game you should play is the first phantasy star game?

Which by the way, I just started. And I have no clue how to play it.  And I could be wrong, but in order to advance in this game you must search every part of the caves in order to find something.

Basically what this game seems like, if you can get through this game you can get through any other cryptic game. So therefore this is the game to start with.

I will say one thing, this game is so cryptic so early on: That it seems like it would take a long time to search every part of the caves, and it seems very tedious.

But I suppose that's the kind of game this is.
