It's a great library indeed... one of the few consoles I'd say is better in emulation though, due to the battery being a pain.

You'll probably have to recap it again anon. You probably got a bad batch. Also make sure it's not just the backlight by putting a flashlight right against the screen to see if anything shows up.

Not only that, but the screen looks like ass, and not in a comfy way. I know a lot of people here are against modding original hardware, but in the case of the Game Gear, it's understandable (plus a modern screen will improve the battery life by a lot since it won't be backlit by a fucking fluorescent tube)

one thing that always stood out was that NES games would typically have cutscenes or screen transitions while a lot of home computer games of the time just abruptly blanked the screen and went to the next level. it looked more amateurish and didn't have the same polished presentation.

It was a pretty fucking common arcade game in the US. To the point where you'd still occasionally run into it at random bowling alleys until a few years ago.

It's closer to Emergency Call Ambulance. Or a very linear version of Crazy Taxi.

The sequel's also WAY better.

AVGN is a very funny channel but don't tell me people actually took his reviews and opinions as gospel? This video is hilarious but it revealed to me he is absolutely dogshit at the games he plays, how can he not grasp the inverted song of time or.. using a bank to deposit money?

NTA but maybe a magic stamp thats used as a throwaway excuse to not have to reset your rupees every single cycle it not a thing worth caring about. Then again, like most contrivances, the game could have avoided them by not having the resetting time gimmick in the first place, but it comes with the territory of doing so. Most of the topic is about AVGN anyway and you're just kinda going in circles.

I tried downsizing my game collection but now I regret it so I'm stuck chasing down all of the games I sold and trying to get them back without spending more than I sold them for. This sucks.

What the fuck did they do to a 1996 game that now requires 8gb of ram, 6gb of vram and 4gb of free space? You can literally run the original iso image on epsxe that even an ancient PC with win xp can handle.

Ps1 had fucking 2mb of ram and 1mb of vram that required a fucking 80s era cd that could hold 700mb of data.

1. Modern OSs, in particular Windows, are resource hungry.
2. Is a port, it needs to run on more complex PC configurations than just a PSone
3. Optimization is not a priority in modern software development, security (with all the bloatware) and get it done is.
The better question is why Capcom added the enigma shit and why it took them along with GoG to actually get it done, at this point is just better to play the BioRand version, at least that shit is already patched to actually run on even more configurations with better resolutions and framerates

I see Doom's save feature and how it lets you carry weapons between levels the same way, but tryhards insist that you HAVE to pistol start and that you can't savescum, or you're not playing the game properly. Oddly, I don't see as many people complain about people who use vertical mouselook, which isn't even a feature the original game shipped with.

We went over this extensively in the previous thread so I know you will dismiss this because it's not your opinion but I was in my 20's as were the other people I knew playing Pokemon and Gen 2 was universally praised as far better than Gen 1. It was Ruby/Saphire where those who weren't hardcore into it dropped off. So it certainly wasn't kids just accepting it because it's all they know.

>>12485205
It's fine, but I hardly call it true Carmen Sandiego when it's more like an adventure game. The end part is close to true Carmen, but I feel like the meat of the game (the adventure parts) really drops in quality before the halfway point.
