Sorry, misremembered the location.
It's that lab on the bottom floor, across from the room where you do the fingerprint scan. You can see a lot of landmarks from the Birkin flashback in that area.

Darius II is an arcade game that runs on 2 or 3 screens, if you want to fairly compare graphics then compare Sagaia then or any other console shmup of the era. The weapons system is just one thing I don't really want to sit here and type all the reasons it's better, it's obvious to anyone who has played.

Speaking in terms of non-gameplay attributes, TFIV's music and art style alone holds up to or exceeds anything Darius and that's really saying a lot because Taito has Zuntata and a dedicated anime studio did the art for Darius.

I agree and if anything I find the US version to be more interesting. The prototype having so many of the parodical references intact kinda demystifies some of the weirdness I'd grown to love over the span of two decades. I liked it better when it made less sense. Luckily a lot of it is still like that.
>>
>>12247648
As evidenced by the fact you are calling it MOTHER 1 and not Earth Bound, I don't think that applies.
>>
>>12247752
I prefer the parodies in the proto since that was the original vision, and the game still had a lot of that weirdness, but yeah the US version is amusing too. I also think the first US boss works better as a parody, since they took the coolest carnivorous plant and turned it into the lamest carnivorous plant, as opposed to being a more direct reference to Audrey II.

One Japanese site says that the game was intended to have 15 rounds and got scaled down to 8, but I don't know where they got their information.

There's magazine scans of showing the enemies would've had River City-style quips but I don't see the stage info.

Both of these tidbits I find more interesting than what you can see in the leaked near-final Japanese prototype btw.

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

>but just reposting it gives the artist more attention if anything
Most of the repost accounts nowadays are for-profit-leeching ventures who go out of their way to not credit or acknowledge sources. Seeing some anon on 4chan repost my art makes me happy, seeing some bluecheck xitter account repost my art with no credit and getting six digit likes for doing so pisses me off.

Current level is 31 and just been leveling in act 4 normal because nm sucks for exp specially when I keep getting raped by quill rats.

There used to be, but that was years ago. Might be able to dig it up in the archive. That crashing is strange. Maybe your discs are scratched or something cause D2 really isn't that hard to get running on Win 10/11.

Make sure you run it in XP service pack 2, graphics wise DDraw seems to work for me and that's it really. You can make things easier for yourself by using D2SE if you want.

Tancred's amulet is only useful for the MF it gives you when paired with another piece of equipment (the least debilitating of which build-wise being the boots). It gives you something like +75 MF which is more than you'll ever get from any combination of boots + amulet that isn't astronomical in price.
