Are there any Dragon Quest/Warrior 1 romhacks that just have a simple boost in gold & experience gain? Ideally in the 15x range? This game has aged horribly and all this grinding only exists to pad out the game, and I just can't tolerate it.

Why not just use a cheat to start at a high level and walk through like that? It would the same effect in the end.
Why don't you just play the SFC remake?
>>3117148
just play the Super Famicom or Game Boy Color version
So I bagged a CD-i but it doesn't include a controller. What is the cheapest controller I could use for it? (I have a Mega Drive pad but not that adapter I've seen people write about)
I'm literally right there with you OP except I got mine many years ago. You can get this abomination for under $20 but fuck that. There are controllers that closely resemble a Genesis 3 button pad or almost exactly the same as a classic Gravis gamepad but they'll run like $50+. Bottom line is I still haven't bought any controller, even though I've picked up games for it.

It's a shame the PC Engine pad doesn't work with it.

Would Final Fantasy 7 had come to N64 if it used CD's? Or was there another reason too?
>>3116959
I would love to travel to the alternate dimension where the original N64 demo they showed came to fruition.
To answer your question, maybe. If N64 used CDs it would likely have meant the Sony/Nintendo fallout never happened either and Square wouldn't have jumped ship.
>>3116968
That was never an n64 demo
>>3116969
Well obviously, but that's how it was marketed to game mags at the time.
I will miss playing MGS and especially the food that Kojima produces.

Apparently finishing super mario brothers on famicom at the age of 5-6yo is considered success here.Pro tip: it was the only game I played.
So there is that

I beat nj at the age of 8 but I didn't take a picture
I beat Kirby's Adventure.
Is Polybius real?
Yes.
But none of the folklore around it is.
>>3116673
Yes and I also think it is possible it was used as testing platform for something but not to the extent that legends exaggerate.
What are some good 3d platformers for PS1?
Have obviously played spyro, crash and croc series. Replaying this gem atm, really fun.
Gex 3
Alundra 2 (it's an RPG too)
Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time
Jersey DEvil
Glover
Tomba 2 (2.5 D)

Were the guys who sealed away Enuo more powerful than Bartz' gang?

>fanfic boss added to phone ports and handheld
>"he's like ex-death but even more ex-deathy!"
I guess I'll go with Bartz's gang based on nothing more than as awful as their villain was, it was still slightly better than Enuo.

What were they thinking when redesigning the Super Famicom into this boxy piece of shit?

Because Americans don't play toys, they entertain themselves.
Redesigning influenced a lot for American market.
Better question, why did they make the Turbografx-16 twice as big as the PC-Engine?
I like both!
Why did it take Square so long to get it right? Every FF fan I've ever met has agreed that FFX had the most efficient combat system of any Final Fantasy.
The rigid turn-based system allowed you time to plan out your strategy each round without worrying about the enemy attacking you over and over again like in FFVII-FFIX, and using the Battle Order display made taking out enemies in the most efficient order satisfying, and instantly showed the benefits of spells like Haste or Slow.
Characters could be swapped out on the fly WITHOUT USING A TURN. Equipment...

And it's sad that they've never gotten it right since. FFX-2's combat system was active, completely broke the feeling of strategy from the first game.
It's kind of sad that a completely generic system is considered the best in the franchise just because it finally did away with extraneous ATB shit.
>>3116181
>generic
If you say so it must be true. Honestly the way FFX handles it is probably my favorite interpretation of the traditional turned based system, though the game has other flaws.
Anyway OP, post this thread on /v/. You fucks are whiny fags that are shitting,up another board for the sake of it. If you have a problem e celeb and news threads then maybe you should do something about it other than bringing that shit here. Its not going to solve your problem, bringing...

I grew up during that era and aside from a few games here and there like Tecmo Bowl and NBA Heat/ NFL blitz those games just sucked
I saw a thread a few days ago about the shitty capacitors and belts in the Sega CD Model 1 and how they almost always fail unless refurbished. I found a seller online that refurbishes the Model 1, but doesn't replace the capacitors. They claim the capacitors in their units are fine and clean and what have you, but I am still worried.
So I started looking at the Model 2 and am amazed at how much cheaper they are. Apparently they're highly reliable and read discs faster too?
I have a Model 1 Genesis and I think I need some heat shields and other random...

Model 2s are no more reliable than Model 1s there's just shit tons more of them out there to cobble together working units out of. Sadly, all of those first wave CD Rom devices like Sega CDs and PCE-CDs are failing. Try finding a Jaguar CD or a Commodore CDTV that's still operational. Even Laseractive PACs have started needing it.
Like I said in that other thread get yourself an X-Eye/Wondermega or (I've heard) a Sega CDX if you want something with a real lifespan. If you buy a Sega CD that hasn't been recapped it WILL need recapped within the next...

I'm not the guy from the other thread, that thread just got me curious on buying a Sega CD myself, because as a kid I played like 5,000 hours of Sonic CD.
So Model 2's are just as bad/prone to failure?
>>3116007
In my experience I'd say yes. It seems like you see a higher percentage of Model 1s in need of repair but I think that's mainly due to them being considerably rarer and most working model 2s you see are Frankenstein jobs with the non working bits just thrown right in the trash.
Like for example I only have the one Model 1 and I got it when I was working in a shop in the 90s but I think I have like four Model 2s stacked up that I just grabbed at thrift stores or yard sales for under $5 each.

Hacksaw Jim behind the wheel?
This is the best intro out of any N64 game
*midi bass intensifies*
Has there ever been a remake of pic related?
I'd like to play the original but the controls are pretty annoying
To the best of my knowlage there wasn't a remake, but mother 2 (earthbound) and mother 3 sequals
Not that I'm aware of. Only a port.
>>3115853
Somewhat, there is the mother 25th anniversary rom hack with the gba translation. This is a picture of it.
My preffered verion is the gba version with the translation patch and the color restoration patch. If a music patch is ever made there will be no reason to play the nes version.
