it's reddit/youtuber mid slop.
no one cared about this game when it came out, it wasn't until a few nerdy cunts online acted like this was some masterpiece that people started saying it's good.

"Back in the day" critics would suck a thousand cocks to defend mid NES games that are unplayable today. What's your point?
>>
>>12135286
Not particularly, it's only okay. The entire game takes place in one very small area and vast majority of your time is spent doing a few extremely boring and tedious dungeons.

If Zelda series on average is like a 9/10, this is like a 6/10.

>>12137441
Just that the game was treated like a misunderstood gem, pretty much like Okami, when that couldn't be any further from the truth.

Trust me, those old youtube dialogue previews he had where Samus' face was showing? I greatly disliked them. It works better with the helmet on. It's not the Samus I imagine, stoic and only concerned with getting the job done, but it's amusing. Considering your post, I'm sure it gets worse later.

Sector Z was cut due to rom space, same with an actual final boss having to be replaced wit a cutscene. The only stuff that still exists of Sector Z is the music that was meant for it. https://youtu.be/dK7IGx3_aC0?si=Yslcie2xhR970-t_ 36:58 - 40:50

No arcade or fightcade discussion, only retro consoles (Neo Geo is allowed in case you knew someone who actually owned one).

lol. what a faggot. I got my first neo geo in 1990. A lot of my friends had one so we swapped games a lot which made it a lot less painful than it could have been. I'm not a yuge neo geo fan but I have a lot of them. I did a lot of custom MVS consolidation and AES cabs. Neogeofags be crazy like that. I don't really like fightan games. Even the most technical are very basic. It's very boring when you perfect one faggot after another. It's also boring when you play against someone with skill and you just slap each other and run out of time. desu I prefer to just have fun with smashfags.

It shows how cookie-cutter opinions are in gaming. Someone called the Saturn a "2D powerhouse" once in a magazine. The phrase made it to its wikipedia page in the 2000s and then influencers just started repeating it non-stop.

When you look at the 2D
>fake transparency
>couldn't handle ports of late 80s Sega arcade games like Galaxy Force 2 without sacrifices
>CPS2/Neo Geo games needed special, expensive ram carts to even work and many of the RAM carts only worked with 1-2 specific games
>Metal Slug 1 couldn't keep a solid framerate even with a RAM cart
>mediocre port of Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Sure, the PlayStation ports of CPS2/NG games were lacking in comparison but at least they ran stock. The Marvel Vs games sucked on PS1 but the Street Fighter Alpha games were pretty good efforts.

Dreamcast was the first system that really held its own with 2D and it doesn't get enough credit.

Wiffing not so much

I want to get into Windows 95/98 era gaming and play stuff I missed out on as a kid. Is there a more streamlined or recommended way of doing this, or is it a case-by-case thing for each game to research and find the right fan-made solutions to get it to run? I figure it's the latter, but might as well see if there's another way.

XP doesn't run all dos games natively if they have bespoke ways of managing memory, like Ultima 7 as an example. You had to make an arcane boot disk to do that. Better to use Dosbox to play most games these days, especially Dosbox-X or Staging to get support for proper sound emulation of MT32 etc.

Just use the modern game engine that runs natively.
