Thoughts on the shitty Spider-Man game for Atari 2600! This game makes me want to take a dump in a coffee can! The NES game, the "Amazing" Spider Man game boy game and Spider Man 2 for GBA all suck too!

Now that I think about it, none of the ice Pokémon look like it.

Jynx could be anything
Cloyster and lapras are just water
Dewgong also very watery but white
Only Arktos looks kinda like it

But hey, at least they consistent in mishandling the type

Pretty much these, to me the absolute best aspect of the original games that gets overlooked a lot is all the turn-of-the-millennia mad science stuff going on.
>Porygon
>Cinnabar Island's lab and mansion
>Bill's teleporter
>Mew and Mewtwo
Feels a lot more thematically fitting for a game about stuffing monsters in little capsule devices and storing them on a PC than anything involving ancient legends and civilizations
Kanto 100% has the best worldbuilding and atmosphere

Accessibility of completing the pokedex is done the best in generation 1.
All you needed was a friend, or classmate, with a link cable. Which was a struggle, but there was always that one guy who brought it to class for loan.
Later, glitches were sorted out to let you catch 'em all solo.

I just recently read about Wizardry 4"s gameplay and it is fascinating to me. I love the whole concept and how each level was so wildly different and punishing. I think my absolute favorite thing about the game as far as I read and watched a video about it is the initial room and the absolutely creative (some might say diabolical) way in which the player discovers the method of exiting the room. 1) The way the player gets to choose what to summon 2) Priests are available to summon 3) Actually realizing by accident or from experience playing the previous game that priests can cast Light which reveal hidden doors 4) Having no control over the behavior of what you summon 5) Summoned beings are only active during combat 6) Only by chance does the AI-controlled summoned priests cast light - during combat - to reveal the only exit - post-combat - from the initial 2x2 walled room the play starts in: a hidden door. Fucking brilliant. I love that the dev pulled out all stops and created such a fever dream of a game.

It was me, signing my own previous post, I know, it's abnormal. I was implying i've only played wiz8, but had recently read about 4.
Anyway - hell yeah, wiz8 is bad ass! Especially considering sir-tech were going out of business when they were working on it. It's really well polished and exploration feels really rewarding and the atmosphere and environments are intriguing even though the graphics are a bit dated. Arnika bank, the space port, the swamp, the Ratkin tree, the abandoned fortress. The puzzles and secrets are great. The voice acting is so good, too

i only remember people complaining about it being as long and grindy as one of the DQ games. was it DQ7?

PMD1 you can beat the main plot with no grinding if you just stick to your "starter" duo and maybe the plot character it forces on you. it's even faster if you abuse status items and use 2 starters that have area-effect attacks.

so yes, it's harder.
>>
>>12807420
Is this literally just the first game without any changes? It's a really easy game if so. Even Pokemon is probably harder if you count the postgame dungeons.

Nobody thought it could be done on the n64, but they did it. They squeezed the whole game onto a cartridge and kept the FMV cutscenes. All of the game's integrity was kept intact. Can you a name a more impressive port?

Icy Lake 1 is mostly fucked because of lack of recovery. Most of the time you fall in once its over. Icy Lake 2 is arguable worse design wise. The level starts, you have no idea which direction to go and you're dead 3 seconds later. When you retry and run the right way, the level is literally 10 seconds long. How did they think this was acceptable?

I need help and I don't know where else to resort to.
I'm currently emulating "Hourai Gakuen no Bouken! / The Adventures of Horai Highschool" for the Super Famicom with English patch, bugfix and the patcht that fixes the internal logic of the random encounters on Retroarch SNES9X core. I'm playing as a boy and I'm on Chapter 4 (the one where you explore the dorm of the opposite sex), I see guides stating that on this chapter you can get a ghost party member called Misato, according to the sole english guide and one japanese guide this character is exclusive to female players, but according to another japanese guide I saw the party member gender locked.
I would assume it's the latter because it would be weird to give the female player 2 exclusive party members, I wanted to know if anyone who has ever played this as a guy knows if the party member is obtainable.

Or at the very least a walk through walk cheat to see if I can use it to obtain him by accessing the closed off portion of the boys' dormitary, there's one gamehacking dot org but it has a different nomenclature, I tried converting them assuming they were for Game Genie into RAW but it still still didn't work. I then tried to see if any of the default Retroarch cheats worked at all and none of them did, so I then transferred my save to an unpatched Japanese ROM to see if any cheats worked there yet no dice, I tend tried using some Japanese cheats from wikiwiki as a test yet that also didn't work. The cheats Retroarch uses are the same ones from DukeOdin on gamehacking dot org, does anyone if this is just an issue due to Retroarch?
>>
>>12805784
Please?
>>
>>12805784
codes working depends if the core supports cheats
you had the right idea about testing the unpatched jap rom
>>
>>12805784
>Retroarch
use the real Snes9x, dumbass. it support cheatfiles and gameshark codes just fine.
now fuck off back to squarepusher u scum
>>
>>12807607
Shortly after I wrote please I ran the game through Masen and the walk through wall cheats worked so it seems it was a Retroarch issue, ultimately it seems the party member is indeed female exclusive, if you use walk through walls you can access the entrance of the dungeon but judging from scanned images from the game it seems to lack a door that takes you into the deeper parts of it where said party member is, weird that even though the area is blocked the devs decided to take that extra measure in case someone somehow got in, also the preference of giving a female player 2 exclusive party members while the male one only gets 1. I also later tried the cheat on the eng patched version and it worked just fine so it's really just Retroarch. So I guess if I want to get the party member I should try to temporarily gender swap with a cheat I found online or use Masen's debug to find the room's ID to enter the dungeon and hope for the devs.

>>12807737
I used to use native Snes9x but then suddenly about a year ago when I was playing Laplace no Ma the emulator stopped taking my imputs, it didn't matter whether I reinstalled it or even if I tried it on another machine it wouldn't take either controller or keyboard inputs for some reason, I assume a windows update screwed up a driver or something. Regardless ever since I've been using Retroarch for SNES and PC98, then individual emulators for everything else.

Why is playing with guides generally frowned upon here? I'm actually enjoying playing with a guide a lot right now, I can plan forward accordingly and it's pretty rewarding, in contrast I would be pretty disappointed if I spent my limited resources on L-Gaim only for them to be wasted later on or missed on some mech because I didn't move to a specific square.
I remember enjoying a lot playing through FE6 with a guide too.

What are some games that are actually pretty fun to play with a guide? Mostly srpgs I guess?

They do, and I'm correct. Completing a game isn't a chore you have to do, and they weren't made to be played like they were. Nobody cares if you 100% complete a game or not, and the only reason developers put in extra stuff is to help you enjoy the experience more on a replay.

No sentient person who has actually played both Ocarina and ALTTP, would disagree that a player spends far more time in Ocarina of Time "just walking" than they do in ALTTP. It's not even a reasonable dispute.
>>12807227
>That is a very inauthentic way of playing
In fact, your objection is hilarious because the "inauthentic style" was already called out in the post as NOT favoring the point. In reality, the player actually spends a whole lot MORE than 30 second stretches just wandering around in 3D looking at the scenery.
>Real players mill about
Right. Walking simulation.
>they fight random enemies for no real purpose,
No, they don't, because there are so few enemies to be found. That's the main difference. In ALTTP, playing the same """inauthentic""" style, you'll see the player encounter dozens of enemies just crossing the world. (In "normal" style, the player will probably fight most of them).
>You need to quit watching other people play games on youtube and actually play more games going in blind.
I seem to be the only one who has actually played both games. Youtube examples just provide hard, measurable data.
