I hate DC1 for the following reasons:
1. It doesn't do anything with its ambitious concept, taking place in samey, sterile lab corridors with the dinosaurs just tacked on. They could have been any kind of animalistic monster and it wouldn't have made a difference
2. 90% of the enemies you encounter are just Velociraptors, over and over and over again. Game should be called Raptor Crisis.
3. The inventory and UI system is unintuitive and needlesly complicated with item bloat galore. I assume there is a reason you have no concrete health indicator and that every action you can do in the inventory is devided into a gorillion sub menus.
4. The game is like 50% cutscenes, especially in the first half. Take two steps - cutscene, open a door - cutscene, turn around - cutscene. On and on, it's like a proto Snoy exclusive game.
5. Combat sucks and gets old very quickly due to the very limited enemy roster.
6. While puzzles are great there's just too much of them and they follow the same theme of needless overcomplication like the UI and inventory system
All in all, it's a very lackluster game with some serious design flaws. It's no "hidden gem" as zoomers like yap about these days. I'm convinced that the people who say it's a masterpiece haven't played in since it came out and only have a vague memory of it being "resident evil with dinosaurs", which sounds cool but the game doesn't deliver.

I think it's a classic survival horror on par with other great survival horror games from that era and I honestly am overdue for a revisit

should I emulate or play it on my PS2 that's hooked up to an actual CRT?

The Alf Christmas episode is literally kino and insanely sad and tragic. I remember watching it as a kid and liking it. I watched it recently and holy fuck it made me cry a tiny bit. It's like the saddest show or movie I've ever seen. Can't believe they aired it. But I do recommend it.

Also, there's some Alf movie they made in the mid 90s and it's not bad. Worth watching if you want some comfy 90s tv

these adapters are just PCB that work as extensions with a 3D printed case. They dont have any chips on them, so they shouldnt cause any compatibilty problem. Think of them as an extension cord.

video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"

this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"

I've heard of unusual time signatures but don't know much about them.
But even you should be able to understand a basic song timing of 1-2-3-4, where you can tap your fingers or clap your hands to that basic rhythm.

Mother 3 has a diverse soundtrack with lots of different time signatures though, so you can't just do the same 1-2-3-4 timing on every battle, especially when the tempo changes for different sequences within a song.

It's all optional and not that hard once you get the hang of it:
-You can dogde to the a side while turning in the opposite direction to get a quick leap. It's pretty much the bunnyhopping motion without pressing Jump. You can do the same with forward but the double tap makes you stop, unless you're strafing.
-To close big gaps, you do the mentioned move and press jump at the end to extend your time in the air. There's a couple of powerups you can get in the early SP DM ladder like this without [weapon]jumping or running over half the map.
-You climb the many steep ramps in maps by dodging/double tapping towards the ramp, almost touching it. It will shoot you upwards and it can work as a shortcut.

10/10 fucking map, I played so many hours against bots and people on that map.
>Running down the upstairs hallway, diving behind the corner to grab the armor
>popping out right where the rocket launcher is, doubling back for the minigun+ammo or just heading forward past the ripper, heading to the side to pull the health vials before heading into the small CQC maze in the middle
>punching right through the front door, running down the long hallway to the center of the enemy base and grabbing the flag
>making that split second decision on if you escape back the way you came or head to higher ground and maybe grab an armor refill on the way out
Of all the CTF maps, that map was the one that felt the most fair and balanced, and had the most chaos going on.
