The best cover in the nes trilogy.
Bloodlines/New Generation is rapidly climbing my fav CV list
>>3205734
I would argue in the series, this image is the definition of castlevania in my mind. Castlevania 1's ingame art is very underrated in my opinion, the character sprites are a bit meh but the backgrounds are amazing.
Hey /vr/ I want to buy a handheld console for emulation purposes
I used to have a PSP until I broke it, and now I'm using my phone, should I get another PSP or is there anything better on the market?
Anything that can emulate up until PS1 era is good for me , so hit me with your ideas!
>>3205642
What did you break? The screen can be replaced in minutes.
>>3205642
Psp is what I use, very good. Basically every pre fifth gen console runs flawlessly, snes has its hiccups but never anything to bad. You also get flawless ps1 andgbaas well. Psp isby no means a bad choice.

I bought one last summer for $60 with an aftermarket battery and a 16GB memory card. Definitely got my money's worth.
>One of the best games for Mega Drives
>Never got localized when it was first released (it got its first, official english translation when it was re-released in digital form many years later)
Was it too girly for the cool, boyish audience of Mega Drive?
It came out the same year as the Saturn and that's what they wanted to push at the time for the English speaking regions.
Derp.

Monster World IV is my favorite Genesis game.
Wish it got more love.
itt: early depictions of nintendo characters
Playing through it. Played it a lot as kid, but was never good enough to do GP. Just beat 100cc Special Cup.
I play as Koopa. Who do you use? What kinds of differences are there to the characters.
>inb4 OMG dis game is so slow, it aint got BLAZT PROCESSING xD xD xD
Man fuck this game it's so slow it aint even got BLAST PROCESSING
In all reality I used Koopa, he was the lightest cart iirc but it's been quite a long time since I played it.
Odd questions:
Does anyone know where I can buy NES port stickers? The original one came off 20 years ago

Thanks friend. If I put retrobrite on this will the decal lettering come off?
>>3204786
It might. Try bleach diluted with ammonia.
How many retro games can you own without being a collector?
>>3204338
a collector is a faggot who buys games solely for bragging rights and doesnt play 90% of the games they buy
>>3204338
It's less about the amount but the time frame and intent.
>>3204373
The guy at the local brick and mortar asked me if I was a collecter when I was buying like a dozen games, I was hurt, I'm gonna play all that shit (eventually)

The fuck do you mean, Wonder Boy by Tenacious D?
>>3203492
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen
Two song titles one game!
Which one did you prefer?
>>3203467
I'm amazed by how accurate that port was. Makes the Final Fight port even more disappointing.
>>3203467
SNES for the better combat and Neon Night Ridersthe music on Hyperstone Heist is absolutely kick ass
I preferred the far superior Sega version
Looking at buying one of these pieces of shit. I want to get into the PC engine scene and I'm fairly handy at repair, should I still dump an extra 150 and get a duo-r? Anyone have experience with these units? Also PC-cdrom general.
Have you looked at the prices? These games are EXPENSIVE. I love the pc engine but holy fuck collecting for it.
Just get a regular duo and recap it if you're confident about doing that kind of thing. Maybe replace the laser I don't think there's any other way they fail.
>>3203135
is there a place where i can get busted (as in impossible to get working) units, preferably the full set (PCE, CD, Interface)
unusable units should be cheaper, right? not interested in repairs, want to use them for another project...
Do you try to use an arcade stick for most 2D games? Or do you stick with a gamepad for consoles?
>>3202834
>Do you try to use an arcade stick for most 2D games?
I do, actually. Not for driving games tho, if you're counting those. Or for GC/Wii as I don't have one for those platforms. But otherwise, yes.
>>3202834
Does it really help for anything other than fighters? If something is designed with a gamepad in mind, I don't see why using an arcade stick would be better.
>>3202834
Of course I use an arcade stick. Have done since the 1 button days.
Noone talks about Wonderboy anymore.
I loved when the series evolved into Metroid-esque action-rpg.
Dragon's Trap on The Master System was a childhood favourite of mine and shat all over most of the NES library.
What's /vr's take on the series?
> Well for starters it looks like the developers settled upon a fucking trainwreck for boxart.
>>3202828
>inb4 twelve year olds who don't recognise SEGA's minimalist art style.
Dragon's Trap was one of the greatest 8-bit titles ever made. There's also a PC Engine version called Dragon's Curse.
>>3202782
Haven't played yet, but I want to. I'm thinking of buying a Master System soon.
Since this is as good of thread as any to ask, has anyone used the FM sound mod with their American/Euro Master System? Does it work okay?
Or is getting a Powerbase FM Mini for my Genesis better?
What does /vr/ think of Dragon Warrior 2? Just got the prince of cannock and im having a blast
I don't like it, but don't let that stop you from having fun.
>>3202652
why don't you like it?
>>3202645
Considered by many the black sheep of the series, prince of cannock is notorious for being useless. The story is it was rushed and the game ultimately wasn't tested enough leading to great balance issues. Prepare your anus for Rhone. May I ask what version you are playing?
What is the process to actually figure this shit out?
>>3202586
You talk to employees around the building.

Liar
You're supposed to look at the book shelves and pick out the book that doesn't belong in the room (like a book about biology in the Midgar Development bookshelf)
If I remember correctly the number of the book corresponds to the letter in the book's title that you unscramble to find the password.
>>3202586
look it up on gamefaqs
