Was Doom on the 32x a good port? I mean, having a game like that on a mega-drive add-on is quite impressive.

It was kinda ok for the times.
The updated versions(Resurrection / Fusion) are of course sweet.

>>12436278
The 32x was $150 at launch
>>
>>12436539
How much did Jaguar cost at the same time? Internet says Jaguar US launch price was $249.99. 32X needs the separate base console but maybe you already had it.
That said even if Jaguar was still more expensive at the time at least it had 3 good games to play: Doom, Wolf3D and Tempest 2000. 32X only has the Doom port and even that is shittier than on Jaguar.

Good performance and all, even decent controls, but bad music and lots of cut levels.

the PS1 port is the only port worth playing if for some reason a modern sourceport isnt acceptable

I didn't like how it lacked X and Y buttons.
I HATED the dark OG screen.
I love its library.

It was good, could've been better, I'm glad emulation saved it for me after the OG model made me hate it.

I truly believe that if Sega had survived and Nintendo had gone under or moved to handhelds only, gaming would be in a better place today.

This isn't another delusional "Sega should have won" fanboy thread. I judge consoles based on games, not who made them. But my argument boils down to this: Sega and Sony being the top two contenders in late 90s would have pushed each other to new heights that would have prevented Western slop getting a foothold in the 2000s. Instead we got Sony dominance, with Nintendo doing its own thing (appealing to children with a few token teen games thrown in) which ultimately opened up a spot for Xbox and PC to challenge Sony. If Sega had launched Saturn better in the West, I can guarantee you it would have outsold N64. A Sony and Sega rivalry would have pushed each other to be their best, making games for all ages, and it would have caused every generation to be better than the last up until present day. PC would have still emerged as a juggernaught, but Japanese systems would have still been worth owning alongside a PC due to quality exclusives unlike the drought we've had the last 20 years.

True, but if you think there's no difference between Microsoft and Sega I don't know what to say to you

If only Sega stuck to their guns with the planned "Saturnday" (September 2nd) launch of the Saturn in North American.
>>
>>12425676
There's no possible timeline where both SEGA and Sony consoles exist simultaneously except maybe a Saturn still fails but somehow Dreamcast doesn't (almost impossible). Nintendo survives anyways due to first party excellence and handhelds. The only years that matter are 94-96 to determine who will be the disc-based system receiving all the third party titles, and if the publishers choose SEGA then the PlayStation ends up being just another failed attempt by a giant corporation to take over the console market like the TurboGrafx and the Stadia.

SEGA lost, Nintendo won. It's been over 3 decades. You NEED to get over it. Your elderly parents are beyond upset they're not getting grandchildren from you.
>>
>>12425676
Seha was only good because they were an arcade developer, while Nintendo just focused on vasual games. However arcade games were destined to die out in a way, because it's just not a good system. People want to play at home and own the games, not pay for every single credit. The whole arcade game format was build around this. Thus when arcades died, the games also weren't developed anymore. Nintendo was smart in a way, because they never focused on this dying game style but just made money by pandering to normie cattle.

It isn't, it's foreshadowing for the sequel and explains an essential element of how the game universe works. Also, Eye of Argon isn't even known for that, you're confusing it with something else.

Post real retro hoaxes and mockups, stuff from printed magazines.
Pic related was published in a magazine I had as a kid, in 1995. The magazine stated that it was a hoax but I remember wanting it to be real. They also said "you can do this with a computer" and I remember thinking they actually got all these characters playable on MKII on a computer, I didn't realize they were talking about image editing.
Well, of course later on with romhacking and mugen and stuff something like this would be possible, but I don't think romhacking a game like MK to add playable characters would have been possible in 1995, or at least I imagine it would have been too difficult

To me, the true story of Final Fantasy 7 will always be as follows:

>Cloud joins AVALANCHE
>Cloud meets Aeris
>AVALANCHE battle their up the Shinra building
>Sephiroth kills the president
>Cloud and friends leave Midgar
>Cloud and friends get eaten by a giant snake

More reasonable than R=U.

>>12433942
Yeah, because that’s where most of y’all quit the game. It’s why people are obsessed with Midgar, even though the rest of the game is way more interesting.

This became very apparent to me in when the remakes were released. You can tell most of the criticism of those game are from people who played maybe 10 hours of the original, at most.

Because they needed to train the devs on 3D and didn't want to waste the practice games.

Re-playing Fallout 1 now. I want to like it, since the atmosphere and lore is cool, but I can't stand how harsh the gameplay is. Like you can get locked out of entire questlines by one "wrong" answer that doesn't even look like a bad choice, with no way to recover. This bitch Jain suddenly won't even talk to me and I have no idea what I ever did to piss her off. I'm just screwed out of whatever she had to say from now on. Plus the second half is very unfocused. Other than the fact I know you have to go to the military base and cathedral I don't know where to look to find that info in-game so it is hard to role play as my guy.
>>
>>12436847
yeah, Gothic ramps up very slowly and you have to be really careful in picking your fights. it's satisfying when you can finally start going around kicking ass though, cause you know you've earned it.
