>Trying to get the last Key Element in the Lake Ruins>Figure out if you don't grab it before the water is lowered you can't get it>Get locked out of second craftable swordGot a save before I started Lake Ruins, debating with myself if it's worth it to try and run through it again.
Got to Floor 100 in the Nobles Tomb while at work today. Got the Onimaru sword which is a long sword with 100 attack. Took me three and a half hours. Debating if i'm going to go beat the game to go do 100 floors in the water fall cave.
>>12763207>3 and a half hours of maybe the camera decides you don't need to see the small dragon that's about to fuck you in one hit just right over therehaha i seeoff to Hexalkia for me and the Dragon Fang.
>>12763252I don't find the camera to be that big of a issue, I push the camara back to its farthest distance then have it sorta kinda looking down at me a little. I can see every room when I get into it.What's this Dragon Fang about?
>>12763321>What's this Dragon Fang about?you never checked the store? it's the strongest one they sell.
>>12763331Ohh shit, yeah I bought one then. Thought maybe there was another hidden sword, like in the water fall cave or something
The Dreamcast died because Sega spent years being run by short-sighted idiots who couldn't stop fucking up their own goodwill with consumers and developers with their terrible business decisions and corporate civil wars, and it all caught up to them when they literally ran out of money to market the damn thing. That's it.>b-but the PS2Only hastened its inevitable demise.>b-but piracySega was bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars before the Dreamcast even released, let alone when people started pirating it.
Sega kicked their own ass then Sony came in for the finishing blow and took their color.Funny shit.
>>12761369>But why would they rush the Dreamcast out in a market where the Saturn was doing well?It wasn't doing well anymore ,look at how flat the line is in 98
>>12757028>>12757127>The problem with the Dreamcast was that Sega couldn’t meet initial production demands due to the high failure rate of PowerVR chipsets during manufacturing.Yeah, that's why Project Black Belt (PowerPC CPU + 3dfx Voodoo GPU combo) was the best option, but Sega of Japan had to throw a tantrum and took the worst possible option with that weird combination of SuperH CPU and PowerVR GPU that no one knew how the fuck worked so no one bothered to make games for it outside the main partners of Sega and Sega themselves.
This console much like the N64 was intended for sheltered white and asian amerizoomerlenials
>>12763306Nice self own, retard.
What's the best way to play Outrun? Saturn?
hehe golden shower
Doing it in real life
>Saturn?Yeah but the Master System and Genesis versions are both fun too.
The idea of Dreamcast being anything more than a stillbirth piece of shit with no games is the biggest psyop I've seen in recent times. It has absolutely no games of it's own, the few good games it had were quickly ported over to PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox. BTW they were clearly trying to copy the N64 controller with the big ass shell shape, singular joystick, and cross dpad.
>>12761868That's a faggy opinion. Virtual Boy was a legitimately cool system. Never once did i get headaches from it. The experience of flying through the depths of Red Alarm is something that only actual VR has managed to replicate decades later. Nintendo discontinuing it early is my longest standing beef with them, right after letting go of Rare.

I thought you couldn't make threads on /vr/ that just savagely shit on things.
>>12761656>two years It launched in Japan in fall of 1998.
>>12761452>It has absolutely no games of it's ownSonic Adventure
Any of you play this before? It worth going through the trouble tracking down the english translation? Kojima made it.
>>12762854Just play it in Japanese.
>>12762854I wanted to play this too as I’m a big Kojima fan. This thread made me sad and now I’m going to ask Claude to detail the story for me and just take it for what it is. Maybe put playthroughs on as background noise while doing dishes.
Snatcher is much better.
>>12763260FWIW I think its better than anons here are selling it. the art, music, and worldbuilding are great. Yeah the two buddy cops are lethal weapon ripoffs, but there's other characters who I think are great. There is more gameplay besides pixel hunting and exhausting dialogue. tons of hot babes you can grope. Yeah its not as good as snatcher, but I definitely think its worth playing. a claude summary of the plot isnt going to give you anything worthwhile, like I said the major plotline is the weakest part of the game.
>>12762972>you have to exhaust every single optionI don't like that style either, but it's not unique to Policenaughts. Practically every Japanese "adventure" game from 1985 to 1999 is like thatIn Japanese they call it 総当りADV "round-robin adventure" because you hit every combination of commands like a round-robin tournament

Let's talk about horror games that aren't Resident Evil or Silent Hill.What are you playing? What are your favorites?
the suffering games were my shit
I have never been more afraid than when I played Kuon. The carnage of everything and vagueness of the threat combined with the angles feeling like you're being watched made for the scariest initial hour. Wish the voice acting was better though.
>>12761106This game has so many annoying segments but its also somehow so damn enjoyable.
>>12758294I think Fatal Frame 1-3 are top-tier horror games. While it's much rougher around the edges, I also really like Haunting Ground, and I think it would be nice to see a game that expanded on its mechanics.>>12759989I wish Siren didn't have so much obscure bullshit you had to do to progress. I was really enjoying the game until it started looping through the stages because I hadn't fulfilled various sub-objectives I didn't even know existed. That was enough to completely ruin it for me.>>12758301That is a good one. I really like just the general concept of the book being passed through the ages, with the protagonists slowly growing more aware of the threat and better able to counter it.>>12761521I like Kuon, but I didn't find it particularly unsettling. I mostly just got startled a few times by those ambushes that happen if you're running through certain areas.
>>12758294Was thinking about giving picrel a try, I heard it's like a western take on the SH psychological horror formula but actually really good and doesn't just shamelessly copy the big twists and monsters from SH2.>>12759989Siren 1's puzzles were fucking bullshit, even by hardcore survival horror standards. Also fuck timed missions in any capacity. 2 was somewhat better even if the story wasn't as polished.>>12761608Saw the remake for FF2 going on sale, should I jump into it or start with the older games?
I miss this meme. Post your rare Atarijaks and also discuss Atari 8-bit homebrew. Dracula Story is fun.
>>12762567>Even though Atari is just a name being reused these days and not the original company, it's neat seeing it around still.I honestly can't give them shit for even that anymore. How many modern companies are still the same core members from 40 years ago? Even Nintendo guys of old are retiring. Atleast whoever is running Atari now respects their inherited legacy and is actually trying new shit. I rather give them money over Microsoft or Sony.
>>12762473>Saving a transparent png as a jpgI sincerely wish you folks aren't doing that
>>12762738https://www.myabandonware.com/game/ballblazer-5gc#Atari%207800
>>12762738Someone post that image that has every atari 2600 game within it.
>>12762738Well you see there's this dot you control on the screen, and you go around to the other dots on the screen and...
So is anyone ever going to remake these games so they're not unplayable archaic jank anymore, or is that just an impossibility for this crusty ass franchise?
You'll just talk shit about it and never actually play the game anyway
>>12763267Maybe he means The Bard's Tale Trilogy remaster treatment, updated graphics and optional QoL stuff.
>>12763224If Lord British gets the rights back then maybe. EA doesn't give a rat's ass enough to remake them and you just know that even if they did, they would just be turned into slop.

>>12763105Will it finally feature a pencil?
you walk into a room, you shoot soome baddies and then tap a button to see if you can open some secret bullshitI was so dissapointed when I played Doom and I was bored after the first ten minutes. Why a million of these fucking games come out every year and everyone has nostalgia for them is far, far beyond me but what actually makes me kind of pissed off is that there were WAAAAY better first-person games made before doom. Starglider 1 and 2, Mercenary, the elite games, Ultima Underworld, The Sentinel to name a few were vastly more interesting
>>12748916Savescumming is clearly not the intended way to play the game and it's not fun
>>12761183Pray that nobody here decides to look at the game's manual. It's not gonna look pretty for you.
>>12760406The Marathon enemies are great, enough so that a third of them were directly converted to/reappropriated for Halo.

I just got a gamecube game boy player and have been playing through pic related. ITT: recommend hidden gems and share what you've been playing lately.
Turbo Turtle Adventure (GBA) is quite good. It's like a child of Adventures of Lolo and Super Monkey Ball - you roll a turtle (always in his shell) around a maze and do minor athletic challenges to get past obstacles and reach the goal, like in Monkey Ball, but the focus is on manipulating the tile-based environment in standard ways to solve puzzles and clear your path forward, like in Lolo. It's just an unpretentious little game that gives you nice puzzles, some with hidden optional hard solutions so you always have mysteries to look out for, and then gets out of the way.
Rescue Heroes: Billy Blazes (GBA) is a game for little kids that I guess is based on a Fisher-Price toy line (it had an associated cartoon show apparently). I played it out of curiosity because it was made by WayForward and was supposedly surprisingly good despite its status as a licensed game for little kids. It was in fact surprisingly good. It's short and easy but it feels good to play and is cute to look at. I don't especially recommend it but I certainly don't recommend against it. It might be a nice game to zip through on a long plane flight or something. I bought it for about six bucks on eBay and it ended up being worth that much.
Here are some old favourites of mine:Game and Watch Collection 2Nemesis 2Donkey Kong LandLegend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Super Mario Bros. DXPokémon BlueDragon Warrior MonstersWario Land 4Advance Wars 2 Black Hole RisingFire Emblem (7)Metroid Fusion
>>12762747This reminds me of Tang Tang and Planet Monsters also for gba. Simple games that remind me of stuff on the nes and original game boy.
>>12762785How does Donkey Kong Land compare to DKC? DKC is probably my favorite SNES game.
Apparently zoomers love this shit and its getting mad expensive to buy a used copy. What went so right that Virtual Boy has become such an in demand cult classic?
>>12762849>They sound a bit crap compared to hi-res FLAC.They don't sound like crap. They sound slightly worse, and most albums don't have a uber hi-res digital release. Even for albums that do, it's not always for the best master.
>>12762452People want it because we've reached the point now where people have realized that it actually has some good games and that YouTubers lied about shit like "muh headaches". It's expensive because not many units were ever produced or sold so there's more demand than there is supply./Thread
Why are zoomers supposedly behind everything? What are boomers, millennials and X'ers even doing?
>>12762452No one cares about the games it's just a neat device with a novelty factor that people want to experience at least once. I thought records were the coolest thing ever when I discovered my parents collection. Old LCD handhelds and picrel too.If you can't remember being curious about random old gadgets as a kid there's probably something wrong with you.

This is the thread to post news about new recoms/decomps.

Gran Tursimo 2 needs a decomp, and I barley need to explain why: mods and netplay.>suddenly can port a number of tracks from other games to it>can compete on netplay>can do LAN as well if need be>could revamp the entire campaign and arcade modes >could do total conversions: take another game and under the hood have it be GT2>could restore all the beta and cut content
>>12757948>>12757972>>12759752i would love if someone decomps the vr missions, just for the idea of being able to create more vr stages
>>12733918No you're wrong, if you didn't play at 20fps with drops to the single digits every time there's an enemy on screen, you didn't beat the game.
I don't know if this is the right thread to post this as this is not exactly a decompilation. We're a small discord community that aims to extend Joey the Passion and maybe restore Yugioh Online 3: Duel Accelerator to a playable state and maybe put up a private server. The latter is going very slowly and a lot of people have quit. But when it comes to former, we've achieved a major breakthrough. One of our members, kekhan, reverse engineered the game in summer of 2025 and has written a program in C++ and C# that hooks into the game's process and enables scripting of the most basic engine primitives. Our aim is to eventually bring full GOAT format in JTP. Here are some videos of our progress:https://files.catbox.moe/d5rdil.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/soqhqg.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/jlegmo.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/k9b71k.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/1t15zb.mp4https://files.catbox.moe/nt1snr.mp4When he's online again, I'll ask him to upload BLS - Envoy of the Beginning and Breaker the Magical Warrior videos.Here's the link to the github repository if anyone is interested: https://github.com/bitemydusto/YGO-PoC-Toolset/releases
