Would it be remiss to call it a Castlevania?
king's field was way better
>>12253138What's "castlevania" about it?
>>12253174Exactly: it's an Ultimavania.
>>12253185KF has zero interactivity and the lames level design imaginable with minimal vertical. The fact that not even the ps2 KF matched the magic system of Ultima is just further proof how stunted the designer of it were and how forward thinking the Ultima devs were.
It's actually a fun adventure

I am tired of people acting like this piece of shit is worth playing. Maybe if you speak Japanese you can find something worth it.>but the controllers good!Conjoined Dpads are shit and only sony understands that.
Anything I should know about the Princess Crown translation on cdromance? I seem to recall some accusations of MTL but it seems alright so far and I dunno if that was for a different effort.>>12253150It'd be nice if some of these Langrissers were translated.

>>12251076which version of DQ1 did you playi played the SFC DQ1+2 version and i thoroughly enjoyed it as someone who's not huge on jrpgsa good 10ish hour relaxation pitstop really.
>>12252158>Stop consuming and start thinking about what you're playing.Implying I can't do both
>>12253091I played the NES version, same with DQ II. I know people on here usually prefer the SNES version but I'm kind of stubborn when it comes to DQ and FF and prefer to play the versions on the original console, warts and all.
>>12253113With DQ fans you can be sure that when they say they played DQ1-3 they mean the NES versions more often than not but this is absolutely not the case with FF fans. Whenever I want to discuss FF2 here for example I always specify that I'm talking about the FC version because no one here played that shit except for select few autists that I usually discuss FF with (I'm confident it's always the same people)

He moves at light speed. I try to jump over him but he always moves right where I'll land. I try to spam attack as soon as I see him but he doesn't get stun so he'll either charge me or keep throwing the machete. No matter what I do, everytime he shows up in the street it's guaranteed I'll lose a big chunk of my health.
>>12253483>is there a way to trigger the game to give me more health?Yes. Follow these steps:Turn on the game, then QUICKLY PRESS START-DO NOT WAIT AT ALL...Then git gud.
>>12253351basically you need to get lucky and have some enemies on screen to let you know he's coming. when the screen stops scrolling, it's time to run away in the opposite direction. get inside the nearest cabin.
>>12253471Yeah you didn't beat it.Things become much harder after day 1>>12253351Get a good weapon, get it fast.When he appears in the streets, best option I have is to stick to a corner and deal as much damage as possible to make him leave.But... When he's at half health, he will not run anymore.Other than that, keep to fighting him inside when he makes his move. On Day 1 he only punches 1 or 2 times. Use the dodge (Down+Left/Right) and keep your fast characters alive. Kill enough shit and move enough and eventually you'll find weapons better than what you currently have.
>>12253840little less than half*
>>12253840>Yeah you didn't beat it.>Things become much harder after day 1lol'd good
Is it just me or is this game literally unplayable? I don't know what the fuck they did to the controls, Wave Race 64 controlled perfectly why did they change it? It feels so stiff an unresponsive, I genuinely feel like I have no control over the game most of the time.
I thought it controlled pretty well.I've jet-skiied hundreds of hours irl and as you go there are moments where you're skipping over the water like a sine wave then your boat sinks down and you gain "grip" so your throttle and steering have more impact when the boat's weight is pushing down so suddenly your steering might "catch" and send you that direction. The game replicates that. Maybe that's what you're dealing with?
>>12253702Itd nice
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 was
>>12247101replace the .org of mangadex.org with .zip at the manga chapter's url like this:https://mangadex.org/chapter/00833ab0-da2b-449f-ad2c-794ee379e351/2tohttps://mangadex.zip/chapter/00833ab0-da2b-449f-ad2c-794ee379e351/2otherwise pretty sure the raws are on segaretro.
>>12252202Anon, what the hell are you doing?The translation team name is literally on the page, I didn't even reply because of how stupid the request was. Just google the name:https://yumpoplala.com/phantasystar/translations/spec-third/
Phantasy Star 3 is a good game. I'll defend it. Yes it's dull ugly and sparse looking BUT- it's well paced, no grinding needed to progress but not too easy either - mythical tier OST - ahead of its time features like branching paths, multiple endings, dynamic music, configurable psi powers, okay that's all the ahead of its time features - very cool story with multiple twists and turns, incredibly satisfying revelations- very imaginative enemies- I'm going to say it again, the soundtrack is mythic tier, 15/10 "I am on a fucking fantastic adventure" music
>>12251784I don't remember which Phantasy Star game it was, but my first and only experience with the series was on some Dreamcast Jampack compilation thing.(It was actually the first time I played Shining Force too. It really made me wish that I didn't miss out on all those games back when they were new. I really need to just sit and play through entire series for both of those)
>>12253821>it's well paced, no grinding needed to progress but not too easy eitherI remember having gane over in the very first fight
Let's have a thread about retro HAL Laboratory games that were NOT published by Nintendo.This includes games like:>Air Fortress (NES)>Alcahest (SFC)>Arcana (SNES)>Defender II (NES port)>Eggerland / Adventures of Lolo (Several systems)>Fire Bam (FDS)>Ghostbusters II & New Ghostbusters II (GB, NES)>HAL Wrestling (GB)>HAL's Hole In One Golf (SNES)>HyperZone (SNES)>Joust (NES port)>Metal Slader Glory & Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut (FC, SFC)Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Best HAL game I've played is Adventures of Lolo (NES). It's a level compilation of all the best levels from the Eggerland series up until that point, so unlike most puzzle games, there's no "that one bullshit puzzle" puzzle. All the puzzles are good and so is the difficulty curve. It's challenging but I was never frustrated and never felt the need to look up anything in a guide. Even when I was stuck I was experimenting and learning things I used to solve later puzzles. I especially love the ending. Easy Top 5 NES game for me.The worst I've played is Arcana. I'm pretty sure Arcana is the worst RPG I've played all the way to the end. I was super excited because it was made by HAL and it has anime girls and it's a card RPG on the SNES before Magic the Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh! even existed, whaaat!? That's so cool!But it isn't a TRADING card RPG. It isn't even really a card RPG. Some things are card-shaped but it's a completely 100% vanilla dungeon crawler. There's very little story, and most of what little there is is bland, and what isn't bland is bad.It's very easy and it overstays its welcome. I kept waiting and waiting for it to get better and it never did.I played this like right after Chrono Trigger. What a disappointment.
>>12251739Wasn't Arcana intended to be "baby's first dungeon crawler" in the exact same way Kirby was intended to be "baby's first platformer"?
>>12251737I like this image.
>>12244087>>Fire BamThis is one of those games which looks pretty cool and that I want to like, but when I actually try to play it, it just feels like a weird awkward mess.
>>12244087I kinda miss how HAL Laboratory drew human characters in games like Metal Slader Glory, Alcahest and Arcana (see >>12251739). It was an appealing artstyle.
The thinking man's Willywania
>>12253201Wraithverge is the coolest weapon in any game ever.

Christmas is coming, what was your favorite retro gaming related present you got? For me it was my own Gameboy Color with Pokémon Crystal.
>>12253684>a week later with no school or job or other games to play to make it halfway through the gameI would hope so anon
being born in 91 I was simply the perfect age to get a ton of pokemon related shit in 98/99/00. when I think of the best christmas/kid related memories I still think pokemon. had picrel and shit was so cash.
>>12253706I never was allowed a lot of playtime as a kid.We only had one TV in the living room and the whole family was there for the holidays and we had stuff going on. I've also never used guides. I'm amazed I got that far.During the school year I was only allowed to play Friday until Sunday at 6 until graduating HS. Now kids have iPads lol. Games took months to beat usually so playing them back as an adult is often a better experience.
>>12253726Im sure that made game time more special when you got to have it and gave you a more well rounded set of interests. extremely grim how parents let ipads raise their kids before they can fucking read now.
>>12253594I never got games or consoles for Christmas now that I think about it... Well no there was that time I got ONE first party controller and two 3rd party ones so I could finally play 4 player with my two friends and dad.
