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?

Clearly you haven't played this game or any games for that matter. Why do you hate video games so much? This isn't fucking /v/.>>12762657I've never played this game OP so I can't help but it looks like fun and now I'm gonna download a C64 emulator
>>127627504chan is down for hours and this faggots first post when it comes back is to be a condescending shithead. Fuck you faggot.
It's a great game. Spiritual predecessor of Fallout along with Car Wars.
why is capcom better at making zelda games than nintendo is?
>>12751747not really, the bits with scrolling ruins the art direction. Lots of flatter-looking tiles. The tiles in Link's Awakening have much nicer delineation when played in monochrome (as intended) but you're also assuming I'm just talking about graphics. I'm not. The presenation of the story and the grand mystery of the island is much more interesting than "evil baddy does nasty thing" the plot of the oracle games are very simplistic and kitsch. I can't remember a single tune from Link's Awakening Oracle games don't have shit on that nude posing hippo or the shokeeper who kills you for being a nigger
>>12762853woops, I meant "I can't remember a single tune from the oracle games" except for the main theme which ironically is just reused from LA LOL
>>12759563Wizard of Oz is just "it was all a dream: the movie" and is one of the greatest films of all time The game becomes more interesting when you realize the world is built out of Link's subconscious: the castle in the middle, death mountain at the top, being haunted by ganon in the final boss, mistaking Marin for Zelda etc the "dream within a dream" segment is also particularly cool
>>12750940As somebody who’s favorite Zelda is Link’s Awakening, I hate the Capcom Zeldas. Especially Minish Cap.
>Shartarcle goymes >GoodThey're proto gacha-shit. Minishi cap and four swords are the only decent capdas.>>12758146>La>HardMe thinks the shit handheld screens fucked your brain
Were NES side-scrollers peak gaming of the time that laid foundation for modern souls-like games? I mean shit like Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania or Batman - difficult, atmospheric, focused on single hero action, climatic boss battle - these two genres share a lot of properties.
>IT'S JUST LIKE MY DARK SOULS VIDEOGAMES!!!!!DIE ZOOMIE
>>12762871souls likes are mechanically easy with rpg mechanics as a crutch and a very generous i-frame button really nothing alike
King's Field is so much better than Dark Souls it's unreal. Fromsoft are nothing but sellout hacks these days.
>>12762875I would't call souls-like games mechanically easy, but in fact they are much easier than NES side-scrollers. Games in general got easier, souls-like games are hardest sub-genre of action games in current times just like NES side-scrollers were back then.
Why doesn't this get much respect on /vr/? This is easily the greatest GOAT of all time. Dare I say it is one of the must plays that everyone should experience in their lifetimes.
>>12761004I have a ton of fun with it, especially in tourian when I'm able to take 0 damage and precisely avoid the O-ring projectiles and instantly freeze them in multiple directions, only possible with the L/R diagonal mapping.Another room that's a lot of fun is the acid gauntlet. Getting through those rooms is immensely satisfying and is not the type of platforming that would be possible without super metroid's mechanics.
>>12761029I think the problem with super metroid is that once you master the mechanics, besides tourian there aren't any places in the map to really express that skill. It needs more challenge areas.
BETA
>>12761040That's why it's great to be honest, right as you have all the powers it's over. Classic staple of Metroidvanis
>>12762858I didn't say powers, I said skill. There's not enough gauntlet style areas and for some of them to be fun you have to enter before getting too much gear.
On one hand it rewards exploration and makes the backgrounds feel less lifeless, but on the other you end up autistically checking every square tile in the whole fucking game. Where do you draw the line?Personally I'm ok with jars and fireplaces but not boxes or random walls. And obviously if there's some one-off statue or something it's fair game for a hidden item. The good RPGs make it obvious that it's limited to certain objects, but some are just all over the place.
>>12761436Some things the guides don't even cover, are they off limits? What's a glitch and what's a goof or shortcut?
>>12760985I think the fairy in Adventures of Elliot does just that
>>12761457>durr what's a glitchgtfo
>>12760254Hidden items are a good thing in moderation. As you said in the OP, they're best kept to objects that would feasibly contain an item, or something so conspicuous that checking it feels natural. It feels rewarding to recognize where someone would put a secret and find it, but feels like bullshit to mash A on a nondescript wall and find a super powerful item.Hidden passageways and the like are something that can be good too if the dungeon/map design adequately allows the player to intuit where they are or there's some kind of subtle graphical tell. Not a huge fan of situations where the game only has one or two hidden passages and finding them is practically impossible without a miracle or a guide, because then even if you did somehow stumble upon it you'll be paranoid for the rest of the game and be trying to ram into every wall in vain.
I love this game but it might be the worst offender since you find items in barrels, boxes, fireplaces and wells (could be more but that's what I checked) and you have to be precisely aligned otherwise you won't find anything, and aligning yourself is a bitch unless you're playing with the 3D controller.I'm close to the end of the game and have found:>22 large Mithril>8 Small Mithril>3 Dark Matter>about a dozen Potions and random weaponsMostly from boxes and barrels. There are also random items in arbitrary locations on the battle maps that you just have to stumble upon, and one false wall early in the game that's made me suspicious of all walls.

>>12759973>heh i'm being obtuse
>>12759428>The fact of the matter is the first FZero game is more of a proof of concept than a complete game.Meme.F-Zero is a complete game. My kid had been into cars and wheels since he was an infant. Has hundreds of matchbox cars. Let him play a variety of racing games mario kart, gran turismo(psx and ps3), a bunch of N64 racers (waverace, fzero X, etc). The SNES F-Zero is the one he became obsessed with. Levels and vehicles have the perfect amount of character and are extremely vivid and memorable. There are enough levels to feel like a serious progression and have to get actually good at the game to beat them. The action is fast, exciting and clear. He'd practice over and over, getting better slowly. He'd cover the driveway with chalk race courses with names inspired by the F-Zero location names.He enjoyed playing other racing games but always came back to F-Zero. It's the one with soul.Call it a mode 7 tech demo if you want, but many games fail to be even half as good.
>>12762084>He'd cover the driveway with chalk race courses with names inspired by the F-Zero location names.Absolutely based
>>12759428I think you're being needlessly provocative. yeah it was a 1990 launch game, it's thin on content, but the core of a 3d circuit racer imagined as a futuristic wave racer was rock solid, especially for the time.

I still haven't given up on this disassembly. I managed to figure out a few more bits and pieces:- The main menu- All the splash screens- The (software-rendered) map- Various bits of gameplay, like the block-kicking mechanicThat said, progress has slowed significantly. The remaining code is mostly a bunch of highly-specialized game logic (including one massive "God" function that touches basically everything). This is by far the hardest part since it's all spaghetti code.Then there's some kind of... "display list" system? Instead of objects calling a "drawSprite" function, it appears to be building tables of positions, motion vectors, etc. so it can do motion tweening. Never seen anything like it in a GB game.Still lots more to go. It's still only around 30% complete, I'd say.

What are /vr/'s recommended or fav sports games? I know they're mostly not liked here, but there has to be some games that are more notable to play outside of the 2000's happening of yearly major sports titles. Mutant League Hockey, Fight Night 1, THPS, Amped, 1080 snowboarding, and NBA Street Vol 2 are pretty top ones for me.
>>12759886>>12760773Nice, thanks. I didn't know unibios added that kind of functionality.
>>12757373Any time something in a game involves throwing something a long distance, I still hear FROM DOWNTOWN in my head.

one of the best games on the super nintendo. The gameplay is better than all the RPGs of the system save FF5. I was blessed to grow up with this game. The class system is great. These days I prefer the romhack that alters the experience curve to make class unlocks come sooner and lets you skip the long spell animations. Most of the depth is in your second class change but in the base version of the game that comes quite late. Sins of Mana hack is fantastici find secret of mana to be close to unplayable compared to this game.
