Let's talk about the retro Harry Potter games. Did you get to play them at the time? Which one is your favorite? Do you think they managed to capture the magic of the books and movies?
Did you play the console or PC versions of 1-3? They are completely different games, made by different developers. Also, did you play the handheld turn-based RPGs?

to anyone who played both the console and pc versions, which do you prefer?
>>
Btw I find it fascinating there were like 6 different versions of most of these games where every single platform got a different one and that might have not been super rare at the time but still. It's not like they used mostly same assets or script but they made every game different from ground up.

I remember borrowing the first game for PSX from a friend at the time.

Very fun and fitting game honestly.

I get that a gba, ps1 and ps2/gc/xbox/pc will already means 3 different imaginations of the game but iirc they made pc and all the console ports different. Haven't played them tho.

where does 爆弾男、 the original Bomber Man, fit into this?

This is one of the most well designed, well paced, and well acted games I've ever played. If it had a better inventory system I'd say it was a 10/10. I started the series at Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast and really regret waiting so long to play this

I finally want to deep-dive into this console's library, but I'm having trouble sifting through all the ported arcade games.
What are the best games that were exclusively made for the PC-Engine, including the CD-ROM2 add-on and the PC-Engine Duo?
Also, I'm curious about multi-plat games where the PC-Engine port is considered the best version - later-gen ports notwithstanding

OP here. Thanks for the rec, this game is sick.
I liked it so much that I also played the PS1 version, which adds an extra stage at the end. Much better final stage in my opinion.
However, for some reason, the PS1 version's stage design seems to be lacking a few of the obstacles that are present in the PCE version. Wonder what that's about.

Hated by who? People who treat videogames as if they always had to be Youtuber critics?
It's an inoffensive western kusoge. It's not good but it has soul, similar to games like Stimpy's Invention, Virgin's Aladdin and Cool Spot.

EOPs need not apply, thinking you can give an opinion on the PCE's library because you've played a couple of shmups and Bonk is like saying the PS2 is crap because you only owned a copy of Imagine Babies.

I agree with you on Super Metroid. It has a flow that guides you even when you might be slightly lost at times. Very well thought out

PC CRTs are also welcome and appreciated.

Limited discussion of video processing and scaling devices is alright, but remember to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories.

It's not only that, but the fact that what was an open platform, people decided they rather have condensed down and squeezed through one or two specific storefronts, complete with whatever corporate washing that may occur in the process. PC gaming hasn't gotten more popular because people are suddenly seeing the light of what it can do with games, it's because it's become extremely sanitized and a console like(or even closer to a smartphone) type experience that no longer scares away people.

See I think that was my thread, except I'm from NJ and it was in December 2019. Honestly the Speccy is ass in a lot of ways, but it has lots of interesting titles if you can look past the inherent ugliness of its color palette.

Hell I still have the list of Spectrum titles (with some updates from the recent homebrew scene) even if I don't have the screenshots anymore.
