What kind of relationship did you have with Glover, /vr/?
>>3114550
It was one of the games I got for Xmas when I first got an N64. The other games were Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Ocarina of Time.
I liked it. Not as much as the others of course. I eventually 100% completed it by collecting all the pick-ups and was super disappointed when the ending just said "congratulations."
The music in that first level is way more relaxing than it has any right to be. The spooky level was cool.
The cheat codes were fun.
He gloved me in an uncomfortable area
I was really excited about this game back then. I bought it on release, was amazed by how many different moves he had (as depicted on the huge card that came with the game) and played it for about an hour without making any real progress. Loaned it to a friend because he wouldn't stop begging me to borrow it, got it back like a year later and didn't have the interest anymore.
Went back to it a few years ago and it's pretty fun, I like it. Soundtrack is kind of awful in some spots, but pretty nice in others.
Why did they go with mode 7 + scaled sprites when they could have made it true to the original using the FX chip?
It was cheaper.
>>3114465
Would a stock SNES w/o super FX run Spectre? The original ran smoothly even on a low end 386 IIRC.
Because Nintendo is shit lol
So I recently joined the PC mustard race and decided to get GOG, through which I discovered Ultima 4 was free. So I got it, played the first fifteen minutes, and enjoyed it so thoroughly that I decided I have to play the entire series.
I'm about to play ultima 1 and I'm going in completely blind. Any tips for starters? Any suplementary feelies/books that came with the physical copy that I need to read up on?
>>3114338
>Just realized GOG comes with scans of the physical material
Holy shit do they do that with all of their older games? If so that fucking rules.
>>3114338
That knight doesn't have a hope.
>>3114349
They also give you hint books which aren't really necessary.
What they don't give you are crucial patches so you don't have to suffer through CGA or lacking music.

You can't really do much wrong in Ultima 1. Walk around, try out stuff and you've basically solved the game.
Ultima 2 is a completely different beast. I'd recommend not spending too much time on it. It tried a lot of new stuff and just wasn't up for it.
Old and busted.
>>3114301
New hotness
Post your before and afters /vr/
Just like ur mum's pussy, m8
>>3114306
Matches your council estate eh bogan-kun?
Who still plays these games? The first game is decent but fairly difficult and repetitive. 2 and 3 are amazing. Dinosaurs make any game more fun. I played through 4 once but it was kind of mediocre.
I also loved Super Adventure Island as a kid, though it doesn't have the same charm as the original games.
I liked it better when it was called Wonder Boy.
I prefer the Monster World series
Do we really need another one of these fucking threads?
whats your favorite retro shin megami tensei game?
persona 2 innocent sin here, the first smt is a close one too
I could not get into smt2 at all. It was my first attempt at a smt game... Couldn't get interested in the characters and just felt lost in what was going on...
>>3114254
you should try persona 2, its like every smt but in 3rd personalso you have stands
>>3114261
I tried playing that, but the start was so damn dull with everything doing tink damage and posing no threat whatsoever. Does the difficulty get better?
I was looking into getting an old computer... But honestly I'm confused. I want to be able to play dos games without any trouble. I know nothing on the matter, I fell off computers while Warcraft vannila was still new. I'm talking games like dungeon keeper gold and fallout 1-2 but still play age of empires 1-2 and all that good stuff... What kind of old or "new" PC am I looking for? HALP ME /VR/!!
Much appreciated
use a VM
>>3114116
VM? I'd that a program I can buy? I'm just looking for an xp that can play dos and shtuff. Last I remember xp can do that?
Post arranged soundtracks. Bonus points if it's arranged by the original composer.

6 tracks of SMT: Soul Hackers were rearranged for the 3DS rerelease by a man called Atsushi Kitajoh. He's a newer staff member at Atlus and has composed for some newer Persona and Trauma Center games. I think his work here is pretty good.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The Brink of Time has great jazz (especially acid jazz) and pop arrangements of Chrono Trigger tracks. It was mostly composed/arranged by Mitsuda and it was released around the time the game came out.
https://youtu.be/If_nAMXaXmY
Secret of Mana+... This one is fucking amazing. It's a single hour-long track inspired by Mike Oldfield's albums (especially Tubular Bells) and prog-rock bands (like Pink Floyd). It was arranged/composed/performed by Hiroki Kikuta the original composer, and actually uses telephone sounds as instruments.

Thread for the discussion and appreciation of fighting games.
Here's a personal favorite of mine.
>>3114039
Love that game.
There's an entire library of '90s SNK and Capcom fighters on Fightcade waiting to be played and the only things people play are Third Strike and KoF98/02. Alpha 3 has like 30 people at peak times if that counts.
Pretty sad. I'd really love to play Garou, Last Blade 1 and 2, Alpha 2, Super Turbo, Vampire Savior etc.
Also this may not be news to some of you, but if you like watching those types of games played competitively, a-cho's YouTube channel has plenty. Check here: https://www.youtube.com/user/GAMEacho
Where the fuck can I get high speed downloads of retro roms and fifth/sixth generation iso's? I'm tired of dodgy sites like coolroms and slow download speeds from Emuparadise.
Surely there has to be a highly organised one stop shop for roms and ISO's....Right?
>>3113990
You do realize that hosting ain't cheap, and these sites deal in goods of questionable legality? You should be grateful that you can even download these things without too much effort. Ungrateful seems to nice of a word for describing OP.
There's those NoCD rom collections out there.
Otherwise those dodgy rom sites are usually the best you can do, especially for relatively large filesizes and isos like PSX games. Unless they're popular enough to be well-seeded on torrent sites, but that's increasingly rare these days.

emuparadise is a blessing you sad bastard
Playing Pic related ....
Is Sonic for GBA true to the original? The movement feels very stiff. Did Sonic 1 not have momentum like Sonic 3&K did?
Sonic Advance for the GBA maintained the original's sense of momentum, because it was a port of the original Sonic Pocket Adventure engine.
Sonic Advance 2 for the GBA had stiff movement and no momentum, because it was a ground-up reworking based around the GBA exclusive Hedgehog engine.
What about Sonic the Hedgehog? Am I wasting my time?
No
Don't play it
Throw it in the bin
GBA is not /vr/
Play the originals
>>3113948
>because it was a port of the original Sonic Pocket Adventure engine.
Nice info you just pulled out of your ass.
>because it was a port of the original Sonic Pocket Adventure engine.
u fucking wot, m8? You know you can just emulate it to find out that A. It's absolute shit and B. that it's not a port of Pocket Adventure. Also,
>GBA
Not retro. I'd say take it to >>>/v/, but you're hardly gonna have any better luck there.
when i play gt2 on a emulator the you can see anything on the sides of the screen un-render(?) when i look at the game on youtube it looks fine. how can i fix this?
>>3113850
you can see how on the right side of the image its missing part of the track
>>3113850
Pop a disk in a ps2, knock the dust off that wallet and lay down a Lincoln for the cause.
>>3113865

Avast will say MouseInjector.exe is a virus, put it in the exception list:
Gear icon -> General -> Exclusion -> File path

Is this really the best rpg on the saturn?
Many signs point to yes for me
-scarce
- always bid around $200
-no one will trade me
Even though it's an incomplete game people still can't get enough
>Is this really the best rpg on the saturn?
No.
A games rareness does not determine its quality.
>scarce
Tips fedora. A true hidden gem.
>>3113721
I agree. I'd love to see a fully 3D Base Wars, with robot fights that play like Armored Core.
>>3113893
Pretty much. I don't see WTF a sequel would really do, and a prequel would probably be shit.
