Anybody else play any of the Populous games? I was obsessed with The Beginning as a kid. I'm re-visiting it now, I forgot how fun it was.
>>3181735
Man, I remember playing this when I was like 12. I had a Sim City 3000 CD and there was a Populous demo in it. It was so fun. I loved the lava spell.
Never played more than those three demo levels, though, but I watched some youtuber play the rest many months ago. I should install it.
The Game Boy versions worth it?
I play the SNES version a few times every year, it's a fun play every now and then. I usually get drunk while playing it and get weird. That happens with almost all sim games for me though.
Was this ever put online anywhere? I always wanted to try it.

>Body-Conscious Quest 2
I don't understand, I'm inferring it's an ero RPG but not understanding the name.
>>3181686
It was a famicom disk system hack of dragon quest released back then.
>>3181686
Oh shit, my bad. I thought they were going for a "_____ Quest" name to parody Dragon Quest.
Yo anyone play this game on the PC. I remember playing a lot when I was a kid.
Also PC games from the 90's thread.
>>3181649
Yep. This and Hover! were my first experience with home PC games. Aside from minesweeper and solitaire and such. And of course an assortment of Apple II games at school. Shortly thereafter I got big into Descent and Atari collections. Also, Operation Neptune.
>>3181649
I remember playing a demo off a free magazine CD. Loved what was there but never got the full version.
>>3181729
I played a lot of demo disks myself when I was a kid. I can remember playing Rayman, Doom, Tempest 2000, as well as a shit ton of other games that I can't remember the names of.

I have a chinese Everdrive MD, and it runs Genesis and 32X games fine, but Master System and SG-1000 games just go to black screen. I use a 32X at all times for video output and know that some games have issues with this (Alien Soldier won't run as it claims to only be JP/PAL compatible for example). Can you not play Master System games on an everdrive MD when using a 32X? Or does it have to do with being a chinese clone? I would test but the 32X uses a Model 2 video cable and I have a Model 1 Genesis, and don't actually own a Model 1 AV cable.
>I have a chinese Everdrive MD
Found your problem.
>>3181537
Master System games don't work through the 32x, only standard Mega Drive.
>>3181579
Also, SG-1000 games won't work on the Mega Drive at all. The Mega Drive's VDP doesn't support the legacy video modes used in SG-1000 games.
Just got meself a Dreamcast for only $35. What games MUST I play for this thing?
I suppose that depends on what your favorite genre is. Dreamcast is nice in that there are very few bad games.
>>3181464
Skies of Arcadia.
>>3181464
sonic adventure
chu chu rocket
soul calibur
jet set radio

Is it actually good or just another tropefest?
>just another tropefest
It's decent, but if you go into any type of old media thinking like this you're just asking to be disappointed.
it's good but S2 surpassed it in every way IMO
worth a playthrough

Translation quality.
I am told that some flash carts have save state features.
How does this work technically?
What buttons do you have to press to activate it?
If I feel uncomfortable with the inauthenticity of this feature is it possible to disable it by solder/desoldering something on the PCB?
>>3181374
Instead of disabling it you could just...not use it.
>>3181381
if the save state device were to fall into the wrong hands the consequences would be disastrous beyond calculation
it must be destroyed
>>3181374
Just go into the flash cart settings and disable save states.
This is not virtual reality board.

What do you mean? Of course it is!

Hey /vr/
I was wondering where I can find cheap master system carts. I don't want to pay 80$ for an ever drive, the perfect scenario would be a "1337 in 1" game cart (kind of like the nes ones you can find on ali express). On ebay the lowest price for a master system game is about $10 with shipping.
Also, master system general
>>3181000
You can play Master System games with an $80 everdrive, on a MD/Genesis?
>On ebay the lowest price for a master system game is about $10 with shipping.
Also that does seem pretty cheap..
>>3181034
I want to test out this SMS.
Thanks for the input though.
>>3181000
Not sure if anything has changed over the years, but multi-game pirate SMS carts were extremely rare, at least in the horizontal western style cart shape.
The Game Gear got a lot of pirate carts tho, despite being more or less the same machine.
I'm trying to play H.E.D.Z. again, which is a fantastic gem I played in my childhood. But I can't just install the game on win7 as it gives bit incompatibility or .dll missing errors. I'm guessing it's because I'm on Win7 and this is a very old game probably for Win95 or 98.
How can I run this game on win7?
no idea dude but I played that game back in the day, was pretty fun so bump for you
I've owned that game for years ans never had any luck getting it to work on 7, even with compatibility mode.
Your best bet is to set up a 95/98 VM and go from there, unless you have access to a dedicated old PC.
Where to even find a full game to download?
So why is it that no one can burn copies of games on to something like PS1 CDs and play them without a mod chip or disk swapping or whatever the fuck people do? With how large the custom cartridge market is getting, I would have thought someone would have figured out how to make CDs of rare games that the Playstation or whatever your system of choice with an optical drive would just play without having to mess with the guts. Whats the mechanical process involved? How does a console know if a disc is burned or legitimate?
Actually the reason for this is simple: Sony didn't use stock CDs, they stamped a Sony copyright notice on the disks which the console checks for on startup, therefore the only way you could add this feature to a CD is if you had the original factory pressing equipment.
They already have... For consoles that don't have have a security ring on the CDs.
So no one's figured out how to duplicate the copyright notice? Or is it just not worth the trouble of replicating the process to get the copyright notice on the disc? I would have thought some shifty chinaman or other would have figured the thing out and started pressing copies of expensive games.
So until yesterday, I thought the first Shantae game came out on the Commodore 64. I was roundly, fairly abused by all my game bros.
I seriously can't get this out of my head, though - what fucking game am I thinking of? Is there some platforming franchise SIMILAR to Shantae that goes back farther than 2002, to older computer/console systems?

There's no way. I think I might just be a complete idiot.

So, I hear you like the soundtracks?

Here you go, the entire Syphon Filter music collection, from the first game up to Logan's Shadow.
Are the old Elder Scrolls games worth experiencing? I'm talkin' Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire and Redguard.
Experiencing?
Sure.
Completing?
Maybe not.
>>3180342
Arena - not really. Daggerfall and Redguard - definitely. Battlespire is hit or miss depending on your preferences and tolerance.
>>3180342
I had more fun with arena and completed if, dagger fall is too much of a buggy mess. Never played the others.
Where were you when Treasure made the most fun fighting game of the '90s?
ah yes, Obscure Fighting Game No One Plays But You. Truly a piece of video game ambrosia
>>3180214
is there a translated rom if so link?
>>3180219
Obsure? That anime/manga was decently popular. The mangaka's currently still doing Hunter X Hunter.
