I'm too Lazy to post the most valuable games in my collection, I do have an old photo of my Dreamcast games(which I will post here). The list of the most valuable games I have in my possession are...

1) Splatterhouse (Windows PC)
2) Batman Forever The Arcade Game (PS1)
3) Power Stone 2 (Dreamcast)
4) Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)
5) Silent Hill 1 (PS1)
6) Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes

I know there's more, but these ones come to mind.

>>12585941
I dunno what's actually more valuble right now but either my complete PSX Lunars or my complete Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.

But I'm not planning on selling them so it's sort of moot

I have Doshin the Giant 2 for 64DD. Price is incredibly inconsistent on it, I've seen it regularly fluctuate between $500(which is how much I got it for) and $2000. It's pretty rare to come across and one that not many people are even interested in so I guess it's just undervalued at times, it's also Japanese only and not actually much of a game so that probably doesn't help it. Not that I care what it's worth, I have a strange fondness for the 64DD so I'm just happy to have it. I'm probably one of 10 people on the planet that have actually finished it.

Alien Armageddon was so good, but after it added rpg elements and started to feel too much like a modern shooter was a mistake. Replacing original monster sprites with inferior ones was stupid also.

2.0 is the best version for me personally. No rpg shit, no high resolution sprites that clash with original styles. Just one high quality episode with fun new weapons, second playable character and new monsters that are not just palette swaps and fit into Duke 3d perfectly. Also the remixed version of DC campaign with those new enemies.

Went ahead and finished it, both the enemies mod and the supplementary mappack
The enemy sprites are surprisingly well done (even if there aren't many of them), I expected much worse, quite surprised I haven't seen them anywhere else.
Map and encounter design is total shit, even for 00s, ugly rectangular rooms and sewers spamming the exact same weak enemies over and over again, reminds me of TNT and that's not a good thing to be reminded of. Gets a bit better at the very end but not by much (also features some "artwork" by Giger, the appeal of which I will never understand)
Weapons are alright but too strong for the enemies you face. The plasma replacement is awesome, it's just vanilla chaingun but shooting vanilla shotgun shots, makes firefights significantly less tedious. The chaingun itself doesn't suck either. No idea why did the rocket launcher get castrated like that though but it's not like you'd ever actually need to use it so whatever
Overall it's very easy, too easy even. You'll be drowning in ammo and medkits and HP goes up to 600, weapons are all overpowered while the enemies are even weaker than in vanilla because for some reason they all constantly infight here, even same species. I haven't ever seen my hp dip to two digit numbers, let alone die
tldr enemy sprites good, maps bad

I thought I would similarly hate the RPG elements and was nearly turned off from them when I started the WG megapack. I enjoyed them way, way more than I thought I would - at least for the version of AA bundled with the megapack: When I’d reach a point where I thought my character was getting “too OP,” the encounters I’d run into would even things out - the WG episodes I went through felt shockingly well balanced.
Regarding the new enemy sprites, I’d like them less if they didn’t feel so well done, another thing surprising me about the mod. I first ran into them when I tried AMC Squad.

>>12592412
It has long been my observation that mods especially 90s mods with new sprites or unique textures or whatever always have shit maps, because all the effort went into making the graphics and the maps are an afterthought.

Nice LARP, you fucking loser. Windows 2000's game compatibility is the same as XP's until you get into the real late-era XP stuff that came out long after Windows 7 (and 8 in some cases). If you're trying to run old games designed for Win 9x on any NT-based Windows and are surprised by compatibility issues, you're a fucking retard.

>>12590673
>it wasn't a great OS for videogames until around 2004-2005
You're a retarded faggot too. Windows 2000 supported DirectX 9, just like XP. Any game designed for XP from its launch onwards ran on 2000 as well. They were practically the same OS under the hood. Game developers didn't START supporting Windows 2000 in the middle of the fucking decade when it was already 5 years old. That makes no fucking sense, you cretin. If anything it was the opposite as 2000 gradually started having issues with newer games towards the back end of the decade because they were built with XP SP2/3 in mind (and didn't work on older versions of XP either).

MS put more work into making XP backwards compatible with win9x software than they did 2000 due to it targeting home users.

Original release of FF1 is a clear example. A large chunk of spells just do NOT work period. It's so bad, that patches that restore the proper functioning of the spells actually make the game easier, and Square themselves increased the HP of bosses in the PS1 remake to compensate for fixing the spells.

Might and Magic 2 is hilariously broken in many ways, but the most obvious example is the Endurance stat. It governs how much HP you gain with each level up. All stats are supposed to range from 0-255. Endurance does not. Once you go over about 160 endurance, it loops back around, causing your HP gains to drop back down to 1-2HP per level. This was never patched or fixed and is also present in console ports of the game.

Dragon Warrior 3 allows you to cause a memory corruption that will give the Hero a bunch of spells early, but it breaks him so he won't learn late-game spells at the usual levels for some reason. All you have to do is fill up the tavern with as many created characters as allowed. That's it.

The people who play-tested Sonic the Hedgehog clearly weren't very good at the game. If you are good and can keep running and going fast, eventually you go too fast for the game to keep up with. And if you go fast enough to go off camera, you die instantly. Sonic dies from going TOO FAST. Apparently some people even experienced this after going through two loops in a row in some rare instances.

>yeah bro just practice this combo in the lab for 1000 hours until you get the timing just right lol

Is there any worse artificial difficulty than this? it's impressive that pros get to have this on lockdown like robots grinding 12 hours a day, but honestly it's such a NEET game. I got good at sf4 but I had to be a neet to do it

The entire game feels like you are struggling to even have control of the character. Mastering the inputs is half the battle

You know, you just need to know BNB, and setup heavy combos aren't really a thing in competitive play.

Fighting games are awesome in an autistic way. Yes all the practice is a waste of time, but it's what gives the games that martial arts feel. I'm not a competitive player but I enjoy watching tournaments.

>>12591248
Jump in BnB combos still take a while to learn for most characters. Pulling them off in live matches is even harder. Then you have mysterious terms like plinking etc. what the fuck even is that. And I played usf4 against players that entered tourneys and played against top players. I could do sagats 1 frame links. but even his BnB punished e.g normals into tiger knee seemed like a nightmare to not only practice, but pull off in matches. Then I tried the alpha games recently and realised it's the same shit but worse. My hands hurt. I haven't got all day for this shit anymore. Sorry

You did say it was a primitive indie though; that makes me think it could be one of those games made with Klik & Play or other Clickteam stuff. There's a site called The Daily Click (actual URL is create-games.com) that hosts a bunch of these but searching the archives requires an account.

Kart racing is just a sub-genre of racing. And it's not like you can say Mario Kart SNES/64 influenced Gran Turismo.
Racing is just one of those simulation genres where it's been around forever and doesn't really improve that much other than graphics. It's like saying Megaman Soccer is an important sports game

Racing simulation and Sports simulation and Flight Simulation are all influenced by real life and not much by other video games
