Just beat the first game on the Sega Master System . Great RPG that still holds up well and is easily as good as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest on the NES.

I've already played through the 2nd game should I just skip 3 and go straight to playing the 4th though? I've heard 3 was made by a different team and isn't a good as the others

It hurts that I always dreamed of this but it just can't be real because Sega is a soulless company now. Guess I'll cope with AI.

Conker Live & Reloaded came out like right in the wake of the GTA Hot Coffee controversy and Wal Mart started moralfagging and refusing to sell certain games with too much inappropriate content. They censored L&R (originally the game was titled "Live & Uncut and marketed as being censorless) in an effort to get Wal Mart to carry the game but I think they ended up rejecting it anyway.

I figured out that you cant do fusion from the menu but you have to go somewhere.

But now i only have one fighter, how do i select another demon in my menu to be the second fighter? Nothing works,

The swapping menu doesn't select any demon to be a fighter, it just moves them around to be sorted

By the way, I thought I'd run this up the flagpole, see who salutes; I've discovered a bunch of tie-in novellas/novels for various /vr/ games, and I thought it might be fun to have a sort of book club, maybe start it in January. Basically, I'd start the thread, post a few chapters every day to give everyone time to read/discuss the story so far. I was thinking of having it be a weekly thing, maybe fortnightly if people prefer to space things out.

Either way, I wanted to see what game people wanted to start off with, so I picked out a selection

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP7vWiaxw7Y
Given how the latest game in the franchise has gotten everyone thirsty af, I thought it'd be fun to look back to where it all began with the novelisation of the first Baldur's Gate as well as the BG2 novels. The reading level is par for any D&D novel i.e. teenagers and above, and there's three of them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqf8jID9TsE
Yes, this had tie-in books. Again, there's three of them, but these were for a younger audience, aimed at kids who were getting confident reading, so they should be the easiest to get through

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-i8HYi1QH0
Yeah, I had to include this motherfucker. The reading level is somewhere between the two above options. There are four novellas, all about the length of a Goosbumps book.

Damn, this learning curve is rough. We had Seeds of Evil growing up, so I already knew I sucked. Can't navigate the controls well enough to play the game as quickly as I think it needs to be. Respawning enemies are a bitch.

what mario game is being referenced? to my knowledge, the only rpg games recently released was mario rpg remake, and ttyd rerelease. i dont remember if those released in the past year, or past 3 years, because my sense of time has been quite hazy lately, and i didnt play either of those since i played the originals. regardless, i addressed them both. nobody gives a shit about mario. theres nothing "revolutionary" about timed hits, and its only a small part of any game.

This was one of the more underrated series back in the day. They aren't perfect and got their jank but sometimes it was just a part of the appeal. They really need to bring these games back. There isn't much good games that let you play as a true ninja and these games all did it well.

Which one was your favorite? I think Wrath of Heaven pretty easily clears the rest of the series.

>>12250315
They have set patterns but are programmed to turn around and look behind themselves during these patterns so you need to watch and observe and move when they begin a longer movement part of their patrol. Every Tenchu game during PS1/PS2 was like this. Nothing to do with emulators.

>>12250346
That's their pathing, and has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about being able to see you through walls. The path they're programmed to follow doesn't matter once they see you.
