Just discovered this game. Is super, super fun. Have any of you play it? It uses the right joystick to attack. I have never seen that in any other game. Is pretty unique and just works.
Yeah it's classic
>>12601546I fucking desise this game. Hardest enemy is the camera. Yes i know about L1, it doesn't help.
>>12601546Yeah it's the first game I tried out on duck stationDropped it after like half an hour because it was tiring to play. In reality it's not the 90s anymore and there's better shit to do
>>12601546The part where you get the RC car was so cool.
>>12602109>In reality it's not the 90s anymore and there's better shit to doIs this bait? What are you even doing on the fucking retro game board?

What happened to translation projects, why do they always do bullshit like this instead of just putting in the translation like they used to?And just like the Popolocrois one they don't want to provide you with a version that doesn't taint the sanctity of the game's original content.
>>12600520The SNES version was considered balls because the combat was really easy, which was unevenly balanced out by stupid timewasting bullshit involving a lot of aimless wandering.The PS2 version is a remake that's similar to Oath/Ark, so it's tougher, more action-oriented, and the music is way better. The voice acting is kinda awful though, especially the audio quality.
>>12597735Glad to help! :3
>>12597605seething brown ai nigger
>>12598682>>12598686>>12598686>>12598693Cool story bro, but the worst Falcom-sanctioned rewrite is still better than localization rewrites and fan graffiti like this, from the POV of the end user.Because Falcom has *standards*, and a basic QA process that tard wrangles this exact kind of shit seen in this project. Even the most soulless corporate rewrite is better received than this "hey look at meeeee" trash. Even when nips actually do developer rooms, they show more restraint than... 52 messages encountered in the regular gameplay loop. So yes, Falcom is objectively better and that fan project and you should learn some humility when you bring its faults up here in this exact thread to suggest there's some equivalence. To do otherwise is just as embarassing as a Chris-chan excusing xir latest abomination with "hurr you know sega works their devs to near death, doesn't acknowledge ken panders and his contributions to the Sonic canon like with Sonic Brotherhood, so they're not better writers than my Trans Tails x Eggman slashfic or the egg cracking easter eggs I left everywhere in this retranslation of Sonuc Adventure I came up with with my bedfellows"
>>12597774Remakes are different games. It's not comparable. The english version of *insert game* is the only english version of *insert game* generally. If a translation is bad the first time that's going to be the only version of the game that exists in english. In contrast to a remake where there's a same language version of the game that necessarily predates the remake. There's also the fact that a remake changing things isn't false advertising. Even if it makes the game worse. Whereas a translation is supposed to communicate the original meaning.
What's your favorite retro Dragon Quest game?
>>12600771You should make a strategy guide. I tried playing the FC one with no grinding (walking in the same place to get gold for the next equipment) a couple months back, just trying to progress through escalation, and found it very rough and hit a wall eventually before moving to the southern-most continent.
>>12598368I've only played I to IV and VI so far, and I would put III as my favorite because the story is simple enough and the class system doesn't overcomplicate things. It took me a bit to enjoy the world map being shaped as Earth, though.I could choose any of the games in the first trilogy as my favorite, to be honest. Loved how they connected.
>>12598368I really want it to be DQ11, but the faggot Sylvando really does take away from it. So I'll go with DQ8.
>>12601298>other people engage differently than me with video games? No! They lie!
>>12601814I just think he hasn't gotten through the whole game yet. We always have someone determined that grinding is a lie, which it mostly is, and you can get through the first 2/3rds of DQ1 in a struggle just by exploring and experimenting and dying, and then they come in these threads to say you can play the whole game like that. They hit The Wall and just drop off into the aether slowly after. I know this, because I was that anon before. After DQ1, this does become a legitimate way to play every game though, walking back and forth to get money for gear extensively kind of goes extinct.
You DID play standalone Sonic & Knuckles, right, /vr/?
>>12597445When I was getting back into Sonic again I tried to find Sonic 3 but only found S&K at my local retro store so for a while I basically had no choice but to play the game standalone, it was fun though.
>>12597445didn't have much of a choice

Post games that were not playtested.
>>12601156Anything that raises the Evade stat in FF6 is effected since the game doesn't pay attention to the Evade stat. Instead the game uses the M. Evade stat for both Evade and M. Evade. So getting a characters M. Evade stat as high as it will go will make that character practically invincible since most attacks, physical and magical, will miss. Where-as getting Evade maxed out will have absolutely no effect at all.>>12601334>work in an office where the sun is constantly glaring off the screens>turn brightness way the fuck up to compensate>graphics department is screaming about colors being fucked but everyone can see fine so whatever>ship it anyways>hey, why is our game so dark?
>>12601356the graphics weren't drawn dark, somehow someone just defined the palette wrong somehow. i can say they weren't drawn dark because the borked palette means some colours that are actually in the graphics can't be displayedhttps://segaretro.org/Back_to_the_Future_Part_III/Bugs#Palette_error
>>12601334my guess is they made the mistake early on in development and whoever was doing the testing just assumed it was an issue with the tv they used to test it on, and turned up that tv's brightness. it'd have looked fine elsewhere because the graphics and palette weren't dark, they were drawn bright, the palette was loaded incorrectly to the genesis hardware, so would have only looked dark when playing on an actual genesis
>>12601207Probably not but why would they? The game was developed to run on computers, every system it had initially been developed/ported for not only needed a keyboard to work but generally had a keyboard built into the chassis, many likely even needed you to type a command to even load the game. Joysticks and other such peripherals were the optional accessories. Everyone who would load the game they could guarantee had a keyboard when it was made, but they would have no idea what other accessories you had.That being said, it was pretty fucking stupid that apparently nobody told the devs "hey, one of the systems we expect this to run on is a consolized Commodore 64 with no keyboard) and that nobody anywhere even tried it in a GS since just booting it would have made the problem obvious.
The game crashes if the player looks around in one of the corners of E5M8. Seems like a huge oversight considering the small size of the map.
What is your favorite retro puzzle game?

Kuru Kuru Kururin Chew Man FuColumns Collection (Saturn)Those Sakura Wars Columns games (Saturn and Dreamcast)
>>12601738Tetris Attack has a great soundtrack and is fun. I can't say the same about Pokemon puzzle league.Magical Drop 3 is great. You can pick your handicap by selecting the appropriate character. It also has a popular late 90s gif as a playable character.
>>12601738Fibby pibby
Do you think that retro videogame collectors are the future wealthy elite of society? Will chinese billionaires be making huge offers? Museums getting in bidding wars? I wonder if our Nintendo and PS2 and Genesis games will one day be worth actual money and museums will be bidding on them. Sort of like what happened to Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards. Most the people who held those 90s cards are now worth millions of dollars. Can the same happen to us?
>>12600435It's hard to say that far in the future, but I was just pointing out that old games (and other collectibles) tend to have a junk period before they enter the widely accepted as collectibles period, unlike what was implied by his post, which suggested that things just climb in value as soon as they stop being produced. Magic: The Gathering is one thing where it seems like the collectibility was recognized early on, and has only seemed to climb year after year (at least for the good stuff). Pokemon cards were super hot for a while, but then went through a period where they were typically seen as "old junk" (and I'm guessing even a lot of the then-new sets during the late 2000s to the mid/late 2010s weren't anywhere near as hot as the early sets were at release) before taking off again as hot, investment-grade collectibles. The genuine collector culture around old games was incredibly niche for quite some time, nowadays everybody is on the bandwagon, going as far as slabbing new releases with the hope that they're sitting on tomorrow's meme rare like Surprise at Dinosaur Peak or Little Samson, or that first print, factory fresh Mario Odyssey will be tomorrow's sticker seal SMB1.
>>12600464Oh yeah, you're right. I was mostly going off on a tangent rather than responding to your actual point.
>>12600075People are more angry with speculative investors/grading cartel/heritage auction type shit interfering with what was once an affordable hobby.Truthfully it is still an affordable hobby for actual gamers. The top 50 best video games of all time (all consoles) still can be had for around $20-$30/each for the moat part. Only a few like earthbound are worth more (and that is a criminally overates game anyway). So if you were a gamer and wanted a collection of games that actually mattered you could build a respectable collection cheap still. For the price of a single anime 1/4 bunnygirl figure you could buy the following on facebook marketplace: Super mario 1,2 & 3 & worldSonic 1&2Zelda, LttP, OcarinaMega man 2Metroid & Super metroidPunchoutContraDragon warriorFinal fantasy & FF7, 8,9,10Comment too long.

>>12600508>People are more angry with speculative investors/grading cartel/heritage auction type shit interfering with what was once an affordable hobby.Absolutely, though those aren't the same people who respond to somebody sharing a picture of their collection shelf with a screenshot of their No-Intro set.
>>12600508>eople are more angry with speculative investors/grading cartel/heritage auction type shit interfering with what was once an affordable hobby.they're a symptom, not the cause. prices were going to go up regardless because of basic economics.
A thread to discuss games based on works by Macaulay Culkin.Starting with the classic Home Alone, the original, on NES.Was it as bad as people pretend? I feel the HA2 games were worse, this one was oddly comfy. Like a doll house proto-Tecmo's Deception
>>12601601>Dear Mr Culkin>the Home Alone SNES ROM has surpassed 100,000,000 downloads>here is your 0.1347¢ commission
>>12601601He made an episode with AVGN about it
>>12601601> at something like a fraction of a single U.S centRoyalties contracts that I've seen usually have clauses like>don't bother sending anything until it reaches a minimum of XX $so those checks probably at least paid some groceries; although for him it probably means the equivalent of nothingAlso, he should feel good about people sending him royalties checks without him having to beg for them, especially in the case of shit he forgot even existed. Being a star probably helps, more fear of lawsuits from the owers.
>>12601817Maybe those contracts predate that, or maybe his dad negotiated things weirdly.
I think a Home Alone with Aliens would be excellent. Or at least a Home Alone so skinned and so rewritten that it turns into its own game as a marine that needs to defend his bunker and run away from xenos rather than shooting them. It would be Alien Isolation but done properly.
The best old japanese computer for gaming. What are your favorite X68000 games? Mine are >valis ii>akumajo dracula (castlevania remake)>atomic runner chelnov>arcus odyssey >cotton
It has a some great games but not many desu. Disregard entries at the bottom, I pile all retro PC games into 1 playlist.
>>12601846>akazukin chachaI played is a cotton clone but i hate the level design >metalorangeI like the artwork but the game itself is mid, sometimes sounds like the game is an excuse for the cool art, since it's just arcanoid/breakout but a little bit different and more buggy, honestly if i want to play a game like that i will play touhou HRtP.
>>12601863>I like the artwork but the game itself is midtry hooking up Nuked-SC55
>>12601868Not that anon but even though Metal Orange was designed for SC55, I found that it sounds even better using Yamaha S-YXG50 emulation. I know it shouldn't be that way but I dunno, can't go back to SC55 for that game. I like the game btw, simple but very playable.
>>12601307You have a little bit of everything don't you?
If you get to Monstro Town before level 6, which is the Super Jump level, there's a special dialog for it.
>>12599542I was about to say, I would imagine it is literally impossible to reach this point below level 6, even if you run from every avoidable encounter.
>>12600375>>12599542It is possible. Look up low level guides for this game. After winning a battle you have a chance for a minigame for double or nothing. With the lucky jewel you can force this and it is super tedious but this is how you do it.
>>12600302not having it does not mean they dont know the concept of that level of spell existing. you're retarded.
>>12602120Nope.Rika clearly casts Gires in that scene, you can even hear the sound effect.
>>12602120Anon, the implication was clearly that Rika was using Gires to try healing her.
Apparently, Windows 11 24H2 deprecated DirectSound support, so you now need a wrapper to play old games with this API. This affects all RenderWare games (GTA3, VC, SA for example).https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Engine:RenderWarePress F.

Man its not that heug
>>12601470yea, by volume it's probably bigger than the 5200, that's pretty "thin". and certainly by weight. it has a full-size 5.25" dvd drive and 3.5" hdd in it. it's basically a full desktop computer just with a custom case to minimise empty space
>>12601006>those stickers that came with some game magazines. I still have a few somewhere..........

People who loved gen 2 as a kid - do you think gold and silver still hold up or was it mostly nostalgia
>>12594894The movement is really good in this and it has a ton of room for player expression with the nutty tech you can pull offThe economy was a bit weird (crafting), but it’s fineThe Pokédex was kind of strange because Johto felt like a smaller list, but that’s not too bad because Mewtwo is back (even if the story bit with him and Lugia/Ho-oh was tacked on)The gym management needed more time in the oven and I’m glad they just did away with the wonky skill point system in RSE
>>12597289same, it wase all i played as a kid and to me i assumed it was the peak of gaming, when you realise it was just ok even for a rpg
Playing this game today is literally mental illness
Gen 2 is absolute fucking trash and fuck Johto so much.Gym leaders don't even use Johto pokemon and all the Johto pokemon are fucking garbage. There is a reason why everyone only uses their starter, Ampharos and Shiny Gyarados in their playthrough.
I got a Chinese bootleg of JP Silver off eBay and beat it before it came out in NA. I enjoyed the atmosphere but I had little idea what was going on, used the kana that looked like Roman characters to “name” my mons in pseudo English.Any time a new ability could be learned I had to get it and see what it was so I had to always have one ability I was willing to sacrifice. Haven’t played pokemon since.Good times, maybe I’ll try it in English someday, but I doubt it, the games are just too easy.
why did they make playing as a paladin so boring?all you do is wait like in a jrpg
>>12601415The actual answer is that hybrid classes were all super gimped in Everquest for legacy D&D multiclass penalty reasons.
>>12601539subscriptions are not the same as current pay2win game biz models. are you a chatbot?
>>12601729I specifically said pay2play not pay2win. I know what you mean but wow is pay2play. you cant play it if you dont pay your monthly subscription. it doesnt even offer much value for your monthly subscription since most of the new content (from what I can see) comes from their annual expansions which you have to buy on top of that. really surprised blizzard customers are willingly getting fucked in ass like that but well they are retards.
>>12601539@grok how do I unsubscribe from this user's content?
>>12601415They correctly assumed many beginners would choose paladin so they made the class simple to play.>>12601724They are not gimped at all, they are top tier healers.
