>>10943064Pretty much and for good reason, 90% of console games made by American devs back then were bargain bin trash.
>>10943029Probably not but it had a better chance than the Jaguar did.The numpad controller design of the Jaguar should have been scrapped. Relic of a failed experiment that no one asked to come back. Should have been an evolution of the Atari 7800 d-pad controller with six buttons and better ergonomics. Something along the lines of pic-related would have been significantly nicer.
>>10943064>Nothing would have worked without the Japanese 3rd party in early 90s.or American first parties that actually wanted to make games and not shit, especially licensed shit. Atari had several IPs that if re-tooled into good games would have dragged alot of nostalgia interest along. But atari was already a shell by that point, at least anything tied to a non-arcade project.>>10943138any idea what they were planning to use for the sound chip(s)?
>>10943029> 32 colors per lineper line colors in practice are going to match the total displayed colors asside from amigeresq rainbow skies gimmick.
>>10943029Could it have been able to run Doom with those specs.
Some unfriendly unlocal gypsies at a market put a chip in my playstation, it could then play burnt games! Then Id ride to my cousin would burn the rented games from the videostore! How did you boys go pirating games back in the day?
I did the same, except I used my PC to rip the ISOs from the disc and burn them to new disc. I'd borrow games from friends for a weekend to do that too. Had a huge collection of burnt PS1 and later Dreamcast games.Slightly piracy related: My legit copy of DKC2 I bought from K-Mart new shows the anti-piracy screen 9/10 times I boot it up on my SNES. I have to keep turning it on and off until it works. My first taste of hating DRM.
I just shoplifted
>Bunch of modders on their spare time repurposed Zelda Majora's Mask to run on PC perfectly at higher resolutions/frame rates>Nintendo still never managed to make a modern port of their old games to newer consoles>Most of their official "ports" run like crapYep, modders do what Nintendont.
>>10944129Who gives a shit if you can't play the game at 16:9? I don't even play old PC games in widescreen.
>>10944259it's FOMO zoomers who can't play anything other than 1080/60fps games and 45 year old guys with aspergers who were born without a soul and see everything as a technical checklist; they're the ones who care. otherwise, i agree with you. i play starcraft in 4:3 on windows 10 and i've been playing OoT in 4:3 on PJ64 for years now and i will never play this shit any other way. widescreen is gay unless the game was designed for it.
>>10944259>Who gives a shit if you can't play the game at 16:9?Bear in mind that the person asked this at a time when there was no option to switch to 4:3 fullscreen (I assume/hope this has been added since then)
>>10943717Link to a video that doesn't have "HEYGUYYYYS" basedjak talking over the whole thing
>>10944272Didn't ask.

>>10937807>Game ends>Run to toilet to vomit>Happens everytime
>>10938096Nah, that's a just common writing thing when the hero forgets the adventure. They'll have him wake and start babbling about the adventure, someone will say "what are you talking about?", and he'll just go "I'm not sure either. Must have hit my head or something" and forget. I'm pretty sure that's what they were going for with the scene, but it wasn't communicated well because of the silent protagonist.
The only 8-bit RPG worth playing.
>>10944083He refers to LARP and theater plays, obviously.
>>10944089You’re trying to use a transitional period to define the genre. The period between modded Chainmail gaining popularity and it being turned into D&D was only ~1 year. There are definitely similarities between the white box set and the war games it was derived from, but it evolved extremely quickly and by the time the red box came out just a couple years later the term “RPG” was widely established. In short, TTRPGs moved away from their combat oriented root’s extremely quickly, so I wouldn’t use that brief period of overlap to define the genre.
>>10944148No, I don't. I never said anything about combat either, prefering the word tactics for a reason, as in a way that can include other problem solving, such as traps and puzzles.At the core, stats and dungeons are what all RPGs are about as a game, despite whatever fluff you can add around it.
Phantasy Star II would be the best game of all time if they had kept the 1st person dungeons and other battle and town background art from PS1
>>10944450they had to copy square slop sadly

I miss these lil discs like you wouldn't believe
>>10943779You can literally just download demos now and it's better. Tbh, most people just pirate before committing now so they are obsolete.
>>10943779Why would anyone believe a mentally disturbed child trying too hard to fit in? Apply yourself.
>>10943779Why, what range are you shooting from?
>>10943779>these lil discs lii burnt the GOG version of Neverwinter Nights 1 Diamond (not the bullshit remake with less content) onto 6 CDROMs, and the fanpatch too.
>>10943779I don't, and I can tell because I've played a lot back in the day. Optical technology is absolute crap; Loading times, scratches, laser related breakdowns etc, etc, etc. If you actually PLAY the damn games it's completely impractical and painful to deal with these issues.

>>10944204jdownloader has the most compatability with cloud services and such, but its a really old looking piece of software. Too slow! I use FDM (free download manager), it gets the job done and i also replaced qbittorrent with it as it supports torrents. No complaints.
What are your favorites?
Innocent: Until Caught by Psygnosis. Probably because it was one of the first point-and-clicks I played too. also had a sequel called Guilty.Was rather obscure though, even moreso today. Not even supported in ScummVM sadly. Also had that annoying "Enter the code on row 6, column 5, page 16 of the manual" type of DRM that I am not sure was ever cracked. Getting Sound Blaster sound effects to work, especially on the CD version, was also a bitch. Music in Ad-Lib mode would work fine, but it's a bit of a mess trying to get sound effects/Sound Blaster working correctly. Something about it being VERY picky about the version of ct-voice.drv.... despite the fact that even the CD version of the game didn't have voice lines (though now I am starting to suspect if this is maybe because the versions of the ISO floating around are a bad dump).
>>10943614Be thankful it's not a hamster.
>>10939720I honestly cannot even fathom over 5% of players having the patience/luck to figure out like 20 of the triggers. Many times I look up where to go and I think this is fucking retarded.
>>10943296Absolutely loved that game as a kid.

Were scunny games shitty or was I?
>>10944238Lel funny, i ment Skunny
Skunny Kart was based
>>10944245Wasn't it based on stolen Wacky Wheels code?
>>10944248>As it happens, Wacky Wheels developer Andy Edwardson originally worked for a company called Copysoft - a rather apt name as we’ll soon discover - who were best known for a series of charming early DOS platform games starring their original character, Skunny the squirrel.>After getting inspired by Super Mario Kart and developing the proof of concept game engine in his spare time - the engine that later went on to become Wacky Wheels of course - Edwardson showed it to his employer, who liked what they saw and even started sharing screenshots online.>It was those screenshots that caught the attention of Apogee, leading him to jump ship. Unfortunately for him, he’d unwittingly left the source code to his side project behind without really coming to any kind of agreement regarding ownership, and Copysoft continued to work on it without his knowledge, releasing Skunny Kart while Wacky Wheels was in the final stages of development.
