>>12796079What? You can't search archive.org for keywords. It's only usable if you know the name of the old website.

>>12798057Off the top of my head, the Commodore 1084 can use sync on luma, so I would assume that it would work.
>>12799565crtdatabase says it'll take luma and composite video but i'm seeing conflicting information on other sites. it's also seems like they got the analog pinout wrong too, it's supposed to be csync on pin 7.
NiGHTS into Dreams...
>>12798579OK, then we'll make some Sega Saturn ones instead
tranny clown
>>12798579>>12798858yes auster
>>12798579>>12798856More NiGHTS threads would have saved the Saturd

>>12799703>Cool, now do the Saturn oneIsn't the Saturn version agreed to be shit?
>>12799774>not-diablo is better than not-corvetteJust like real life.
>>12799916Actually I've replayed the entire game and blown all my times with the Not-Corvette, sometimes by almost two seconds for a single lap too; but again Not-Diablo might be better for more skilled players
fellas I finally cleared the mountain stage in sega rally championshipnow to try for 1st place
I just discovered a beautiful wave race clone on ps2 and it makes me physically sick.The camera bounces all the time holy shit. Also lod asses when too fast.
Were his decisions good for Sega in the long run?
>>12797907The hilarious part is that the creator of that video YouTube documentary deleted nearly all the negative comments on the video that criticized his one sided storytelling. When the video was first released, many comments were saying exactly what you pointed out.But he deleted them all. Now it's just praise and zero comments criticizing his video.
>>12798341In his Sega Rally video he's gushing several times over how successfull the game was in Portugal, showing a game show featuring the game... a game show in which everyone spoke Russian.Never forget that youtubers are retarded
>>12798341That guy's video has done so much harm to the retro Sega community. Now whenever s debate comes up, you get a bunch of nobodies yelling >Muh 1997 leaked documentzzz!!! Like it means something.
>>12782696Not really. Yea he played a strong role in making the Genesis a household name and he deserves credit for that, but Sega of America's abysmal hardware and software strategies past 1992 sunk it's lead in the end.
>>12799578How are his strategies bad? All of them were great.Tom Kalinske wanted Sega to partner with Sony to make the next console. Sega of Japan overruled Kalinske and said no. Sony went on to make Playstation. A smash hit.Tom Kalinske wanted Sega to partner with SGI to make the next console.Sega of Japan overruled Kalinske and said no.

>kept the Japanese language and culture>no one gave a shitWhy did all other companies bother with localization when gamers didn’t give a shit and embraced the Japanese feel of everything regardless?
>>12800017Retaining Japanese honorifics like 'chan' and 'senpai' in the English translation does sound pretty stupid.
>>12799893>Watch Bladerunner.>The entire premise of Cyberpunk (american Cyberpunk, Japanese cyberpunk is the opposite) is to have this doomed view of US in which Japan won the economic and technological battle and where you can't even walk the streets without seeing foreign alphabets plastered everywhere.>This represents what the US were scared of and were still scared of in the 90's.I did, and though that was cool as fuck and it seems so did a lot of other people lmao
>>12799847Localizers, deep down, realize how unimportant they are. That's why they try to insert themselves into whatever work they can. It's an attempt to gain a sense of agency and relevance.
>live in a special rules dorm where you can go out and play at the arcade all night with no one to reprimand you because you're the leader>completely skip over all the schoolshit aside from getting asked a random question and then asked that same random question later on a test>no social consequences if you do or don't study at all, you just want to yes man with strangers so you can fuse stronger Greek legends at midnight and climb a tower called TartarusThere's as much Japanese culture in this game as there is in my kitchen: some ramen and rice laying around. That's probably why Persona hit it off so well in the west actually.
>>12800145most of them are just following orders from the top
Primaveral sauria edition
>>12797106>TravicomIs that Congo?
That movie where magnum PI is a robot policeman could make a good game
>>12798185Yeah but from the unreleased SNES Congo game
boo
>>12799624Da fuk is dat
Any good games you know of? I'm only aware of pic-related and the Koudelka games
>>12794396I hate to say it but I first learned og this game because a YTer used footage for it as a framing device in transitions in Arcanum. But the characters were all speaking in like French or something.
>>12797545Literally one of the Koudelka games mentioned in OP
amnesia the bunker though that's more of a ww1 game rather than a period piece.
>>12794535S.O.S./Septentrion technically takes place in 1921, but I feel like it's kind of close enough.
>>12799873Thanks. That's a good pick.
I'm having trouble finding old games that would run on older OS which is ridiculous and it was unthinkable back in the day. Many GOG installers refuse to run on win xp and older (even games such as HoMM3, Diablo, Mafia, Gothic 2, Stronghold, Spellforce etc because they only improve compatibility with newer systems and abandon the older ones), archive has lots of deleted games. I do have several old PCs with win xp and looks like I'm too late to the party because I can't find anything (at least I managed to collect many ps1/ps2 isos). Maybe there are some sites similar to rom sites that offer cd installers/repacks with cracks/keygens? Fuck, if I only knew earlier how difficult things will get in the future.
>>12798209A bit rich to be calling her a retard when you're too stupid to delete a few DLLs from the game folder.
>>12797087Pretty much all you need is clean ISOs (or real discs), a nocd crack from GameCopyWorld, and possibly some of the official patches depending on the game.The entire point of more modern re-releases of games whether it's unofficial repacks or GOG or Zoom or whatever, is to make it easier to run those games on modern Windows with no shits given about older systems.Don't bother with old scene releases either. Hunting down hotfixes or figuring out what's NUKED and what's not is a nightmare. Better to just grab the crack-only files from GCW.
>>12797087>>12797868You're trying to run games that run perfectly fine on windows 10 and you're mad you have fucking machines with xp installed and they won't run on them?Good grief, every fucking game you listed runs great on modern hardware, there's very few games you even need an actual xp set up to run
>>12800427He could install even windows 7 if it's an offline gaming computer and be fine. That said, the topic is kind of interesting because it hardly crosses anyone's minds that many current versions of old games are all versions which would not run on the original os for one reason or another. At least for many games you need to install unofficial fan patches because the games are sold "broken" on modern computers so those games would likely work on windows xp.
>>12797090And yet you're posting in every ps2, dreamcast, Xbox and gamecube threadYou fucking dumb retard
Is this the most subversive character in western games?How did this pass americam filters?
>>12800040Maybe if you didn't spend so much taxes and human goy lives on Israel the world scenario would be much better
>>12800115Nothing can excuse a solar explosion on our planet, Israel dog
>>12798001>>12798134nice
>>12795719That shit was fifty years ago, nobody cared.Loudness was a band from Japan that used the rising sun flag on their albums and outfits and stuff. They toured America in the 80s and people just thought they were cool
>>12800492Based.Probably they wouldn't be allowed in gay 2026
Oh my
>>12795785imagine defending nintendo, or any game company lmao
>>12795779>n 2000 I was paying for dial-up by the minute in both the US and Germany. That was very common until DSL.>paying for dial-up>by the minute>usa and germany>2000When larping goes absolutely 100% horribly wrong. Did you forget where you were, retard? it's like turning up to a music board and proclaiming that Elvis was still alive and making music in 1990s. How did you think your shitpost would pass as believable? get the fuck out of here, retard. lmao.
>>12795785
>>12795785>pro-consumer>burned millions of dollars in lawsuits because another studio was making a better Pokemon game than them
>>12795773when you are failing you need to be a suck up to build goodwill with your userbase. nintendo and snoy weren't AS evil back then. and sega wasn't as nice and kind back in the megadrive/mega cd/32x days.it's all theater
>Original game was a passion project by an amateur married couple>the couple is still together and this is ther final swan song before retiringhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/5013380/The_Battle_Of_Olympus/
>>12792940looks faithful, like a pc engine port.
>>12792940Boobs
>>12792940What a hottie. Hubba hubba.
preumably this is gonna get a switch and PS5 release as well?
>>12792940>early access
This game kicks so much ass and I overlooked it for so long
>>12789761The way you feel about pilot wings is how I feel about blast corps
>>12798890Time to get moving
>>12798890I like blast corps too but backlash can be a pita. The exploration angle was pretty great.
>>12798890>>12799292i still don't know how to use the truck
The handling of the vehicles is superb, those paradigm niggas knocked it out of the park
It's back in stock finally
why would anyone want to watch an ugly little cartoon guy being horny? what was the appeal supposed to be?
>>12800304>t. Filtered lucaslet
>>12798061>>12798236It sucks that we don't get ANY culture of things simply looking consistently good. The Asians do consistently make at least half of an effort though, there is that. So they are somewhat ahead. If they'd learn to stop undercutting themselves by slavishly reproducing whatever variant of the standard sameface-and-dotnose style happens to be in fashion at the current moment, they'd easily win
>>12797956>The main focus was NOT the ugly little guy.No? You're talking about the same ugly little guy who's in almost every scene of every game? The one who's the main character? The one whose appearance and personality are the most memorable elements of the series? We're not supposed to pay attention to that character?I think maybe you're thinking of Tomb Raider or something... or maybe some Japanese dating sim in which the protagonist is completely forgettable and is barely drawn on screen, because the focus is ACTUALLY on the girls.
>>12798061>this>ugly
>>12800364Are you retarded?
Confess your retro game sins, my son. Did you forget to tithe 10% of your collection to the local diocese this year? Confess and all is forgiven.
Ocarina of Time has aged very poorly its a beautiful game but nostalgia plays a huge role in its appeal Majora Mask and Twilight Princess were better than Ocarina but the 3DS Remake was better than the original it had better loading times the text scrolled faster the combat was quicker Water Temple is better and you could easily finish the game 100% in two days the 3DS Remake is the best option if you want to play the original game today The Switch Remake will be just another different crap
>>12799550Just like the fans of Final Fantasy 7 Remake those Remakes arent Final Fantasy they are just a glorified Dating simulator
>>12799989This isn’t a sin or even a confession, sort yourself out.
>>12787051I enjoy non-retro games too
>>12800331You’ll burn for that
