Star Control II (Also known as Ur-Quan Masters, also known as Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Master) got an update with the Mega Mod recently. The latest updates have added two major features:>Randomization modes that randomize the Galaxy layout, planet resources, event locations, alien locations, and even alien ships. Dialogue is appropriately altered to fit this.>Ship storage. Store ships at the starbase for later. Crucially, gifted ships will be sent here if your current loadout is full.Why aren't you replaying Star Control 2 now? What better time will there be?https://uqm-mods.sourceforge.net/Home
>>12763846The game was made open source ages ago. A pc port combining features of the DOS and 3DO version released long ago. The OP has a link to one such port now.
>>12763856I like playing the 3do version on retroarch but like I said the controls suck. I just need a controller for the phone. Also I can't configure my custom crt shaders worth a damn on android 16. This DOS plus 3do version is definitely sometging I'll take a peek at to play on PC. I've also read this version is available on steam.

>>12763865>I've also read this version is available on steam.The steam version is inferior. The game is only on steam for the visibility. The game creators themselves would tell you to go for the port version or the megamod.
>>12763893I see, they had to remove a bunch of music tracks a year after the Steam release.

Dogshit. Endless fucking grinding in empty worlds
>>12763362>heard the game was super casualized and soloable nowno, the real game is as sweaty as ever, the casualized content you're referring to is just legacy shit you have to wade through before you get to the actual gameplay
>>12763638>Endless fucking grindingThe grind was the game. The "endgame" barely existed. You were a white nerd socializing with other white nerds. Everyone was happy. I'm sorry you are incapable of understanding this.
>>12763243I mean, they're pretty much all still running (in some barely recognizable form) except the ones that were DOA from the start.

So what were the "mind boggling effects" this infamous snippet was even talking about? Did they mean it would have a real life affect on you or was it meant to be praising the PSX's ability to produce what was at the time, unseen or otherwise impossible effects?
>>12762415It's an activity stimulator.

What were the early days of emulators like?
>>12763106>i don't know anything about the early days>but some """golden age""" was great for poor children such as myself
>>12763096Getting to play Abu Simbel Profanation on my 386 was pretty sick.
>>12763096i remember n64 emulation working better than playstation emulation on low end computersnow it's the oppositecurrent emulators require more processing power. this is why they'll recommend you use an outdated version of snes9 when emulating on a raspberry pi for example
when i play on my raspberry pi 2 i use these emulatorsi have never had a problem with pcsx rearmed despite it not being the most accurate. i have beaten like 20+ ps1 games with it
>>12763096I remember playing all the megaman games sequentially on my dad's laptop which was in his room. I went to get a drink and came back and walked in on my parents. I didn't know what sex was so was very confused. It was only recently than I put it together. I got passwords off of the Mega Man Homepage which is still around and has got to be the most beautiful web 1.0 site I've ever seen. I miss old web design so much.
>kill off the most notable character in your franchise>causes irrevocable writing damage from here outWhy would Ed Boon do this?
>>12760609....no don't
>>12760523>the blue faces Marvel guywhat the fuck are you talking about
>>12761858Kang is a Marvel comics villain with a blue face. He's another one of those ThanosDarkseidMongulApocalypse etc block headed guys who's a universal threat or something

Let's talk about horror games that aren't Resident Evil or Silent Hill.What are you playing? What are your favorites?
>>12763552Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out Ghost hunter.
>>12758359I think Stalker could still instill a sense of hesitation and dread in me if I ever replayed and had to enter a lab
I really didn't like actually playing the first Fatal Frame. I liked the first two nights, but by the third, I was getting tired of the backtracking and solving the same types of door puzzles and seeing the same exact "turn around and nothing's actually there" trope in the cutscenes.
>>12763730You're welcome, be warned that it's pretty janky even for its time, but hope you enjoy it anyway.
>>12763874Not really? I played it earlier than this year and it's fine, in fact it plays better than most late 90s early 2000s survival horror games.
I started playing wasteland for the C64 on my O3DSXL and I'm having a great time. A little tricky to get it up and running and it's a bit slow but so far the gameplay is worth it. I found a bunch of goodies hidden under a cot and got a 9mm and $38. Has anyone here played this? Do you have any tips or tricks?
I would do this if they actually implemented PAL refresh rates instead of being lazy trannieshttps://github.com/badda71/vice3ds/issues/18

If you're going to put stupid as fuck instant kill gimmick bullshit in your levels, you could at least have a checkpoint system so I don't have to waste my goddamn time. AC4 really was the peak of this series, wasn't it?
Git gud faggot. The levels are 20 minutes at most, it is not like your neet ass would be doing anything more useful.

>>12763842This one was objectively one of the better Atari games.
why is capcom better at making zelda games than nintendo is?
>>12750951...you mean kinda like how you just did?
>>12750949Came here to post this. These glorified rom hacks can't compare to the OG.
>>12762876why?
>>12762876>As somebody who’s favorite Zelda is Link’s AwakeningIs favoriting the Zelda with the most backtracking supposed to be a le heckin based achievement or something you're posting like anybody should give a shit what your first and probably only Zelda was
As a young boy my father took my brother and I on a long, day encompassing snowmachine ride. We lived in the Alaskan bush you see. But we did have a SNES, Playstaion, and pokemon for the gbc. I had a Nintendo power subscription that came in our weekly mail delivery sometimes and it kept me Informed. Anyways we snowmachined to a far away lodge (honestly a little nicer than the one my dad built, but on a lake instead of a river) and we visited for the afternoon with the eccentric twin sons of lodge owner. They were stuck on Digimon world 1 for the PS1, which I had recently become experienced with, and due to my help with their issue they lent me their respectively owned copies of these Oracle games. I played them for a month or two and then my parents mailed them back. I have no idea who they are now, my dad cant remember the trip. Thanks for listening.
I hate to say it but playing old ATARI action-RPGs made me realize how good NESelda actually is. I absolutely abhor the fagshit that the series eventually became but the original entry is pretty good.
>>12763452Which ones did you play?But yeah, Zelda 1 was by far the best action-adventure game at that point, and possibly the best game in general.
>>12763452>I absolutely abhor the fagshit that the series eventually becameWhat the actual fuck are you talking about you retarded schizo?
>"hate to say" something that is completely obvious to every human being who ever existed except dumb fucking zoomers who built an entire personality around swallowing contrarian UH AKSHUALLY POPULAR LONGLIVED THING NOT GOOD takesCan you tell me what the fucking point of your ignorant babytier thread is? What part of your realization do you think is special? Also how much moral virtue do you think you accrued citing that you still hate the later entries?
>>12763491He never had a real opinion, it's just some braindead zoomer trying to latch onto a trend, whether that trend be "i lOvE rEtRo gAmE!" or "i hAtE rEtRo GamE!"
>>12763452In 1986 it was the best game of all time and it remain in that position until Mario bros 3 or Final fightStill the best 2D Zelda the combat feel so good unlike most of it's clone (Neutopia,Golden axe warrior...)
Any of you play this before? Think it's worth getting into or nah.
>half the posts are about the demake which isn't even the same genre
>>12763810Because the remake is good. The original is also good it's just a different experience.
>>12763841No one is talking about the remake though.Anons are calling the game Trials of Mana because this is how it got officially localized many years later, but they're still talking about the SNES game.
>>12763841Not him but the demake fucking sucks. They removed co-op which was one of the features that made the sfc mana games so interesting to play. And now there's jumping compared to the original which just trivialises most enemies that weren't designed around it. There's also the shitty 3d falcom like character designs over the original sprites which are timeless.
>>12763853>They removed co-opAnd nothing of value was lost.>There's also the shitty 3d falcom like character designs over the original sprites which are timelessLol. Lmao even.Beats the ugly recolors any day.SNES sprites look like Oompa Loompas once you start promoting them, literal cases of orange skin and green hair.
>be fire emblem autists>make really good demake of echoes>a game that is already good and doesn't need a demake>don't remake the shitty ds games which have good gameplay but are so insanely fucking ugly to look at that it defies belief>don't demake GameCube/wii games which have a good story and cool characters but shitty 3D graphics and miserably slow gameplayIt's bad enough that devs will only remake good games that don't need remade... the fans should know better.
>>12763064>crying about andarontranny. fuck off.
>>12763315I know you're one of the devs, sorry your game's story sucks ass. Gameplay's alright though. That being said, you made no counterarguments so I'll accept your concession.
>>12763328>now I'll just post schizo shitOnly trannies cry about this game
>>12754212??? SoV isn't remotely difficult, what are you smoking?
>>12763763Dude they're a fire emblem fanthey get owned by everything because all they play are piss easy nintendo games

>>12758195This. I was fine with Alisha's Quest or Adventure or whatever being spammed here constantly for years until the final product showed up with a price tag on it. Went from being a cute homebrew passion project to being yet another mid indie game just like that, but that's just my opinion. I hope Anon sells a lot of copies and stuff but I won't be buying.
>>12758595delet this.I don't like that it costs money anymore than you do but I'm not going to steal from a fellow autist either. I'll just play something else.Dude should release a demo ROM though for download on his itch.io page with like only the first level so people can sample it though. $7 up front for a four level game with a one song soundtrack that some people might not enjoy is a bit of a risk with no demo version to test. Dude should also spice up his itch page with at the very least a custom color scheme and a .png logo at the top of the page. What he has right now just doesn't get my attention.>>12758851>Yet you'll pay $80 for the latest COD slop.Not a chance. I'm a Halo fan boy and I still haven't played or purchased Halo Infinite so a lesser series like COD stands no chance of getting my money.
>>12761103>I'm thinking of buying 20 copies just to offset what they lost to lowlife retards.Do it, the author would probably appreciate the support.Post the receipt here when you're done so we all can know that you owned us and that you are the true Money Chad.
