All jokes and memes aside, what does /vr/ think about this game?
It's good and it had multiple sequels, stop asking for a remake you babies.
All the games in the series are good.
Just stop teasing them in every game and make a new BT already. Pic related.
I played the MD version, it was fun and challenging.
HELP
the sims final boss
Try to bunch in a corner so the floor can only come from two directions.
Use area spells to soften them up.

What are great Gameboy/Gameboy Color RPGs? Any underrated ones? Pic related.
How does it compare to the PS1 version?
Lufia: The Legend Returns is maybe one of the best RPGs I've played. Amazing battle system, tons of items and skills, nine playable characters in battle, a stellar soundtrack. Its only fault is that dungeons are randomly generated, and Lufia II fans can't seem to get past that, as well as some (hilarious) translation typos. Otherwise it's an amazing and severely underrated RPG.

For one thing the maps aren't randomly generated, though the items scattered on them are.
Nice intro theme, though.

Stick a retro pie in, force composite, BMO?
Seems like a neat project that would cost less than a game or two.
I rather enjoy 5" B&W screens for gaming, I've wondered how this board feels about them. Particularly the super hi-quality monochrome video monitors from Sony and Panasonic
>>3101567
I used to have one of the smaller ones and would watch TV on the bus all the time, haven't gamed on monochrome since Apple 2e in elementary school

why not just use a coaxial adapter and hook it up to a vcr?
Good Doom-likes? Pic related is Realms of the Haunting.
>Heretic
>Hexen
>Hexen 2
Star Wars: Dark Forces
The greatest Doom-like ever.
Is it just me or do lightening/ice/fire 2 do more damage then there single target versions in chrono trigger.
Because if so that seems like a poor design decision.
And i also feel like an idiot for not realising if sooner I am about 3/4 of the way into the game already and only just noticed (I assume about 3/4 anyway it feels like it)
>>3101268
Also that map is hell on a phone screen.
>>3101268
Except the 2 versions cost more MP and require more AP to unlock so it makes sense that later powers are stronger and more useful than earlier skills.
If you got Chrono with all of his abilities unlocked at the start of the game then I would agree, there would never be a reason to use the Level 1 spells, but they retain their usefulness because of all the elemental enemies in the late game.
>>3101305
I suppose that makes sense
The underwater palace would be hell without single target attack spells
Why doesn't this count as a sonic game? Because of the way it was presented? I'm trying to understand because every article says
Saturn failed no sonic
Saturn failed no sonic
please explain thx
Ps I own the game and can't stand it ten minutes before I turn it off.
>>3100979
This game was on genesis, and its almost the same. When it came out nobody gave a fucking shit. The gameplay has backtracking. Its a little bit more fun than a Sonic 3 special level.
It doesn't count as a Saturn sonic game because it was on Genesis too
You're taking the "saturn no sonic" thing a little too literally; Sonic R is most certainly a sonic game.
It's referring to a step forward in the series' canon, which never happened.
Might & Magic 6 versus 7?
Which is better?
And why does part 7 actually have worse graphics? All the sprites/models look blurry and shit, while in part 6 they looked sharp and crisp.
Choose "Software 3D" in options if your graphics are blurry.
both are great but 6 is way better.
bigger world, more secrets, way less linear, better inventory management (everyone can master id item and repair) and some of the best dungeon design ever.
7 has muh homm3 lore. its a great game in its own right but so many classes are gimped due to the addition of GM skills. very rushed endgame as well
Just a quick question. Which of these describes the reason you play/collect retro games most
A)You want to relive memories of your childhood by replaying games you used to love and have some sort of sentimental attachment to.
B)You want to try games from your prime years of gaming that you never got to play or just chose ot to play, to see what all the hype was about
C)You want to play games before your time to give yourself a history lesson on gaming and understand where people from a certain era were coming from
D)You are convinced that games made...

All B, Baby - With some occasional A if I have time (rarely)
A mix of A and B. Most of my collection was actually build up back in the day when they were new, or when they became "old" (but not "retro/vintage/RARE!L@@K!") and were sold for pretty cheap in the early 00s.
I rarely buy stuff anymore except for some JP imports here and there.
B.Fuck people who say all A and they should never post again.

How is wii virtual console emulation compared to wii homebrew emulators?Which is better? In terms of accuracy, input lag, etc...
>>3099778
Virtual console is generally as accurate as you can get for most emulators.
BSNES is probably more accurate than any of Nintendo's emulators, though.
And there's no such thing as input lag.
>>3099784
>And there's no such thing as input lag.
DK64 has five million hours of input lag on VC.
>>3099787
There is no dk64 on genuine vc

Let's discuss retro prices.
It's obvious how the value continues to increase. Is this a bubble that will one day pop? Or will prices just continue to increase from here on out so we should just buy them at current prices? I'm not interested in WHY the prices increase, the answers are obvious.
So it begins.
>>3099348
>Is this a bubble that will one day pop?
No. There is no counter to games staying out of circulation aside from office drops, but the resellers are too greedy and stupid to drop them on their own. Current distribution of ownership and reseller behavior pretty much guarantee that ridiculous prices will only "improve" once inflation catches up (probably never for certain titles). If resellers weren't blithering morons, they'd price items to move so they can flip them...

Prices won't fall until people who have nostalgia for the games start to die off and not even then if video games successfully make the transition to pop-art the way comics have - which is almost a sure thing to happen.
