All that matters is what people should play, dumb console warring faggot.

Romhacks are the definitive versions of every mega Man game.

Cope faggot. They're not sacred texts and high art, so no, the originals don't matter, and neither does the devs intentions.

It's bad enough that devs will only remake good games that don't need remade... the fans should know better.

I 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

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.

No 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:

Doesn't always execute things the best but man I don't think anybody has a genuine love for making games more than Kojima. He just combines his autistic obsession with games with his autistic obsession with movies and makes something that isn't for everyone, but for the ones who do enjoy it, his game are really magical.

Everyone shitting on Doom 3, Morrowind and HL2 XBOX version forgets that it ran much better than a PC with minimum hardware requirements at the time.

you can increase mouse sensitivity in most games' config files somewhere. or change your OS' mouse settings.

for win95, if there's a DOS version, the DOS version is usually less buggy and should work in DOSBox(the one original ones, not "Staging" bloat). you can also increase mouse sensitivity in DOSBox.
