Back in the 90s, Sonic strode throughout Europe like a colossus, with petty plumbers walking under his mega-cool high-tops and peep out to find themselves in dishonourable graves.

This was such a lame ass final form. Space tick lavos is by far the most compelling form but if they really were hell-bent on having a mystique-ruining humanoid on the inside, it really should have ended with giant notCell. Imagine making the ultimate conclusion to your epic game the act of beating the second remaining little amorphous blobby companion of a little alien spaceman

To answer your question, a fresh 3D epic action adventure game in the infancy of the genre is infinitely more engaging than some repetitive turn based slogfests. Oot is so much more of an accomplishment than a couple of competently made jrpgs that just polished and perfected an already tired longrunning formula.

It only has 22 critic reviews. I would say GTA 4 is more impressive, since it maintains a score of 98 with almost 4 times as many reviews.

Frankly speaking, Morrowind is one of those games where a modern developer wouldn't be competing against Morrowind, but the idea of what Morrowind was. Seriously, where do people get off saying it's "one of the greatest RPGs" when a shitton of the quests are just dungeon crawls or boil down to "either Kill or spam Persuade on these guys." Quests mods come out all the time with this level of depth and they get ripped to shreds for it, let alone full-on games.

Ehh, I've been writing a version of snake for the genesis and it's at ~2300 lines of 68k + z80 assembly. It has what you'd expect for any basic shit game like a title screen, sound, what can charitably be called music, and multiplayer.
A crude DOS text version takes around 500 depending on how nice you want it to be.
4k on one processor seems like a bargain for something with actual physics, level transitions, etc.

The emulator is the thing that needs fixing. All evidence suggests the Mapper 210, Submapper 1, 8 KB SRAM header configuration reflects the hardware the cartridge was designed for. It's the emulator developer's job to ensure compatibility with cartridge hardware, not the other way around. Krikzz said he's working to get the game supported on the Everdrive N8 Pro. I don't know about the other emu devs, but you can open an issue on their GitHub (assuming someone hasn't already).

In the meantime, there's a hacky fix that gets the game to boot on Everdrive. See >>12222026
Perhaps that will also get the game to save in FECUX?

can you explain to a retard how muti disc games work? Im not a zoomer but pretty much every game I ever owned was on a single disc, and stuff like FF7 I emulated or bought digitally

Is it just reading some certain save values off your memory card's save file and copying them over to the new game disc?

What was namco thinking by killing Xenosaga and ending the career of Soraya Saga which ended up in Monolith being sold to Nintendo and being sent to the Zelda dungeon? It’s one of the greatest video game blunders.

It's just too bad there's very little of it. It went for a more ambient approach, which made the game feel a little empty and boring at times.

Xenosaga takes too long to get interesting. The first 2/3 of the game is a slog and the last 1/3 is excellent.

I must have dropped it just before that part, because I was extremely bored. I liked the battle system in the game though.

I remember how that blew up in their face spectacularly and they had to back peddle. Fortunately the damage was already done and most people just said fuckem and switched to legitimate Chinese alternatives. I don't know if there's any accurate data on how much market share FTDI lost but they went from the undisputed leader to an also ran quite quickly.

>Was completely out of the loop with the whole exa arcadia thing
>Wait what Air Gallet "EXA Label", Fixeight "EXA Label" among many others
Still its kind of cool that they, I assume improved a game that didn't exactly do wonders in the arcades like AirGallet. On the other hand it feels like this frankensteins monster abomination they brought in the original artist ok but, who even worked on the gameplay?
Hell the game isn't even presented properly since EX Arcadia doesn't do 240p.

Rumor is that Todd is working on a soft remake of this. Is Daggerfall worth playing in 2025? I've never played a TES game but the sheer size of this one intrigues me.

Play it and find out, dumb faggot. Its been freeware for over a decade

Daggerfall is more of a sandbox than a proper storydriven RPG like the later games.

There’s a ton of systems and freedom (arguably more than later titles), but most of the content is random and pretty forgettable. The world looks huge on the surface but you will realize its a load of nothing but emptiness and fast travel as you play. Quests are repetitive and don't really have any connecting storylines other than just the mainquest itself, which can be pretty realistic isn't interesting for a game IMO.

If you’re already into Elder Scrolls and don’t mind old/clunky design, it can be fun to mess around in. Just don't be fooled by the "size", its still a load of nothing. There are things to appreciate though
