ITT: you are going to die soon but as fate would have it, you have enough time to play 1 rpg from start to finish. What are you going to select as your deathbed rpg?
OP HERE
For me it has to be Shining Force 2 on the Sega Genesis

Best licensed games for Sega Genesis?

This, and all the other Sega of Japan-made Disney licenses games (Fantasia wasn't by SoJ).
Also, how was the pagemaster? I remember it looking decent but it was probably a bland western platformer, am I wrong in my prejudice? It was also on SNES by the way.

I own the SNES version and it's pretty unexceptional.

Okay spoonfeeding babby lol.
Convince me that KoF 96 doesn't have the best soundtrack in the series. Oh wait you can't

It is pretty great, my favourite is fairy
Dust Man and Goenitz's themes are the best ones to make it from 96 to 98UM, I just wish they used 96 AOF and FF team themes for the EX versions of those characters instead of playing their regular 98 themes
Overall 98UM's music changes/additions from vanilla 98 were good, except they picked a completely shitty theme forAthenaand I don't see why they made Iori play the same theme as Vice/Mat when he already had his own theme in vanilla 98
Also 97 Kyo and Iori themes were better than their 96 versions

99 second place
I'm playing Quake with DirectQ and everything is so fucking dark it looks like DOOM3. How to fix it?
Episode 4 is supposed to be dark, that is part of its whole theme, silly anon.

Looks fine to me.
Dragon Quest III for the NES, GBC, and SNES
>>3212587
test
>>3213431
Sorry for that.
The best version has to be the Game Boy Color one, it has all the shit that the Super Famicom had plus some ultra hard to get hidden dungeon with the Rubyss Sword, which is the best weapon in the game. Also portable which makes it even better.
Started playing DQ for the first time this year, and went with the GBC versions for the first three. I think I'll make it tradition and play the whole series in their handheld port forms.
I finished III's main scenario a while back but I'm still playing it off and on in small bursts to collect the remaining monster medals to get into the final extra GBC dungeon. I'm on Death Stalkers now.
Gotta buy a special controller just to properly play one game?

That's not over 255. Other M's max is 80, Prime Hunters' max is 95, Super Metroid's max is 230, Fusion and Zero Mission's are 250, while Metroid 1, 2, Prime 2, and Prime 3 all cap at 255. (the highest 8-bit number)

This is an all-purpose thread for sharing thoughts on critically acclaimed classic games that you have played for the very first time recently. I'm always interested in hearing people's thoughts on a game with a modern, unbiased perspective. For example, if you played Ocarina of Time recently, what did you think of it knowing its legacy yet having no personal attachment to it?
I missed out on the PS1 era, for instance, so I've been going back and playing some of the classics that made the system. I played Tomb Raider 1 for the first time this year and I...

Maybe not the most obvious of games to come to mind when discussing "critically acclaimed classic games" but I picked up Goldeneye for the N64 for the first time earlier this year.
Never played it before, but I had played other "retro fps" like Half Life, Doom and Quake.
Honestly it's a blast. The controls nearly gave me a hernia at first, at least while I was trying different control schemes trying to feel out which one was best (ended up sticking with default).

I played Ocarina of Time for the first time last year, and it's one of my favorite games of all time, easily.
>>3209568
>GoldenEye
There was (and presumably is) a plugin for Project64 that offered keyboard and mouse control for a bunch of games, including GoldenEye. Granted it's a totally different way of playing it, and doesn't work perfectly, but I really enjoyed it. I 00'd the game on console as a kid, and then again with the mod. Highly recommended, if you're interested.

Let's get some prototype shit going here. Pic related, an early Dreamcast design. Looks goofy, but i think the prongs were supposed to be controller ports.
Looks like a vacuum cleaner.
This is another early Dreamcast before it got slapped with the weird curvy design aesthetic that it sadly shipped with. I personally like the black case, it makes it look less like a computer and more like a game console.
The last Dreamcast thing im gonna post is this design, which is realy similar to the final one but it has some Cyclops-tier laser hole on the top of it.
Did you ever skip school to play /vr/ games back in your day?
We would skip school and go to cyber cafes and play CS or Battlefield 1942.

I know, I just want to get the conversation going.

>warm it up using a light bulb

I remember I beat Quackshot once.
The feeling of playing vidya comfily in my bed while knowing all the other suckers were bored in class was the greatest thing ever back then.

Check out the wiki and see if there's anything you can add.
Most problems can be solved simply by cleaning the console itself, the games, or the controllers. Follow this guide before attempting any repairs: http://www.gametechwiki.com/w/index.php/Game_and_Console_Cleaning
Not the usual OP, but I haven't seen one up for a while and I wanted to talk about some stuff.
Trying to teach myself to fix all my own stuff.
I don't know shit about soldering other than some very basic stuff I do at work; I need to replace the speaker in my GBA and the Caps in my Game Gear. I have a Weller SP40L I got from a family member I was going to use, but someone told me it was too hot to work on electronics. Is this true? If so, what soldering iron should I get?
>>3146062
I use a Weller WLC100(cheapest shit they make) and it works fine for electronics. Is your temperature adjustable? Does it tell you temp? Gonna need some details about your soldering iron to give you good advice.
Glad this thread is finally up, I was asking tech questions in threads and getting ignored in favor of shitposting. Here's my question:
After seeing a number of people online talk about how the newer RGB encoders are better than the old CXA1145's, I was thinking about replacing the one in my Genesis. Does anyone have any experience with putting a 1645 or 2075(I think that's the newest one) into a system, and if so, have you noticed much difference in video quality?
>>3146084
No adjustment, doesn't tell me temp. Basically just a metal stick that gets hot.
It has 40W 120 V ~ 60Hz printed on it, if that helps.
I figure if /vr/ likes talking about people on the internet who play retro vidya, why not a thread dedicated to the people who brought us retro vidya?
So I guess you can post programmers, artists, designers, writers or whatever (even company presidents) here. I'm going to start with Ken and Roberta of Sierra fame.
And mandatory mention of these 2
Miyamoto playing the banjo.
Ken Williams does post on /vr/ sometimes although he claims to be his son.
