Metal Slug is quarter munching garbage that's only praised because SNK managed to shove it down everyone's throat and it looked pretty.

Loved this game on NES as a kid. Something about the palettes in DQ games that's so soothing. Bought it for GBC as a young adult, provided weeks of entertainment at work (I was a security guard at the time). A few years later the fan translation of pic related came out, and for some reason I never got much into it, even though it's still sitting on my HDD. I might play a little later tonight. Giving the characters seeds manually with save states seems like a way to make the game super easy. I promise I won't, lol.

How long did it take you to realize the world map is basically shaped like Earth? As a kid I was oblivious.

What fifth gen RPGs are worth playing nowadays? I was a huge fan of SNES RPGs but lost most of my interest by the time FF8 came out. I've heard good things about FF9, is it one of the most underrated? Anything else to go back and play?
>>3181730
Every game is worth playing, if not for their game design examples.
Pro-tip: search for titles you never heard or played before. Save second and third playthroughs for later.
Shhhhhh. Just whistle along.

What's the most disturbing retro game you've ever played?
pic somewhat related
Probably phantasmagoria that shit was bizarre, never play it though, some parts are funny others too bizarre
>>3180787
oddly enough i just finished reading the book. guess i'll have to play the game now.
>>3180787
Harvester without a doubt.
I Have No Mouth is a close second.
I've never played this game...mainly because I've always been under the impression that it's a strategy guide game, aka a game you pretty much NEED a guide for if you wanna make progress
Have I been wrong all this time?
>>3177827
To make Metroid crawl you have to press down twice
That's the only artificial difficulty in the game honestly
What the fuck? One of the main things people bring up when praising it is how well it guides the player with its level design.
Completing Super Metroid without a guide is very possible. (I did.) It will just take you longer. But that's part of the fun.
Exploration is a big part of what makes Super Metroid great, so I would only use a guide if I absolutely had to.
Cheat if you want, but don't cheat yourself out of experiencing one of the finest Super NES games in all its unspoiled glory.
How do you go from this...
...to this?
very carefully

Handhelds and consoles go in separate sections.
You have black consoles mixed up with gray/white/silver consoles, instead of separating them into neatly conforming areas.
You have way too much shit on that TV stand and need a larger one or more stands around it.
So aside from fighting games, are there any instances where the Saturn got the better version of third party releases?
I keep hearing it has the best version of Tomb Raider since it was originally developed with the hardware in mind. Not sure how true that is since I've never actually played any of those games.

Saturn version of Silhouette Mirage is better than PSX.
Croc is debatable but I'd say the Saturn version is overall better.
Pretty much any fps. Ie. Powerslave.
Hands down the best 3D retro fighting game.
Maybe if you only had a PS1 as a kid.
>>3182706
please, vf2 was good for its time but it doesnt touch tekken 3
imo tekken 3 was the peak of the series but i would like to try tekken 7 if it ever comes out here
>>3182710
>vf2 was good for its time
What do you mean? it's still good.
What retro game do you turn to for maximum comfiness /vr/? I personally find the first Harvest Moon game very relaxing.
>>3179585
Stardew Valley is not retro. Reported.
>>3179607
>>3179585
Yeah, relaxing and somber.
It brings that slice of life feeling to you that few other games manage, later Harvest Moon's included.
Daily reminder that the SNES was far superior to the Sega Genesis.
Name ONE Genesis game that competes with Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Terranigma, Castlevania 4, Turtles through Time, Secret of Mana 1 and 3, Super Mario Bros, Mario RPG, Megaman X, and the myriad of other classics.
Also daily reminder that Sonic is a generic kid's platformer game that spawned a generation of autistic fanboys (Chris Chan) who ended up becoming the predecessor to Bronies
Pretty much
Weak. We all know PC Engine is where it's at.
Genesis didn't have many titles of super metroid calibre. Just alot of OK games
Do you like to speedrun any retro videogames, /vr/?
>>3185483
Just Tomba 2.
>>3185496
kek
Donkey Kong Country 2.
Compare specs, graphics, post pics, etc. Which was more capable? Which had the best games?
Visual capability:
SNES > SMD > PCE
Performance:
SMD > PCE > SNES
Sound:
SMD > PCE > SNES (lol, 64k sram)
Controller:
SMD (6-button) > PCE (6-button) > SNES > SMD (3-button) > PCE (2-button)
Overall winner: Sega Mega Drive
>>3184883
>Performance:
>PCE > SNES
This is kinda debatable, sure the PCE doesn't have many slowdowns, but that's mainly because all the games have shittons of flickering.
>>3184883
Visual Capability:

Scrolling

SMD had fucktons of arcade ports but also rocket knight adventure wich is my favorite SMD game and is pretty long i think
