I've always wondered; is there any sort of strategy to fighting arcade beat'em up bosses? No matter what they also seem to eat your quarters.
>>3097918
Tons of strategies. Depends on the game though. Konami 4-player HBSAGs (horizontal belt-scrolling action games) on the other hand are notorious for being button-mashy. Pick up some Capcom HBSAGs and you'll see that you need strategy and skill to beat bosses without dying.
>get below the boss
>inch upwards while attacking
>repeat
This is the strategy for 99% of these bosses. You'll still die repeatedly because most of these arcade games aren't meant to be fair, they're meant to turn a profit.
Yes more quarters
I'm constantly seeing characters who are full of angst and inner demons. What are some /vr/ characters that are truly guided by the forces of good?
Picture related, Condor from Breakers.
The Holy Spirit allows him to maintain his position at High Tier.
Devils ain't got shit on the Belmont family... except for Richter who got shafted.

There's the Virtual Cameraman series on 3DO, which is from the same devs as Virtua Photo Studio.
The 3DO and Saturn have this strip rock-paper-scissors game called The Yakyuken Special, and the Saturn version adds more girls.
Another strip rock-paper-scissors one is Onee-san to Issho! Janken Paradise, also on 3DO, which has some neat stuff. It lets you choose what article of clothing the girl will take off and in whatever order you want, as well as a mode that lets you play against more than one...

I thought it was a troll. Then I saw the 30,490 viewed with mostly likes.God damn. I notice that most (not all) the n64 assholes are mega douche bags when it comes to selling on ebay. Everything is a super rare and valuable game with them.

Do "bits" actually mean anything with regards to a computer's processing power?
Ever since Sega vs. Nintendo we've been conditioned to think more bits is automatically better, but I've been reading up on assembly language and experimenting with homebrewing, and from what I can tell it seems that a CPU's "bits" are far, far less important than the amount of memory it has, the color depth, the sound capabilities, etc.
Not to mention, it's well known that the GBA was 32-bit just like the PS1. The Atari 2600 and NES both...

>do the math

>most modern PCs are still only 64-bit.
Even 64 bit only became important once the 32 bit address space wasn't enough to address all RAM.
Expanding the word length to 16 and 32 had similar implications. The infamous 640 KB conventional memory were a relic from the original IBM PC which used an intel 8088 which had a 8 bit external bus.
>>3096279
I thought address space and a console's bits were two different things. IIRC the NES has a 16-bit address bus because there's no way you could map all that memory to 256 bytes.
I think I want to play this game again after a long 14 years of even thinking about it. What am I in for? Should I play them sequentially?
So average it hurts but the mechanics are pretty unique. US character design >>> JP design.
I remember I rented the first one from Blockbuster in beat in in about an hour.

Okay, so this is only half-/vr/-related, but one of the reasons why I have difficulty having fun with Mario Galaxy is because Mario's maneuvers are much less flexible than they are in Mario 64. For example, in Mario 64, the angle you at which you jump off the wall corresponds to the angle at which you jumped towards the wall. In Mario Galaxy, on the other hand, your wall jump always comes off perpendicular to the wall no matter what angle you started from. This, combined with the blander thumbfeel of clinging to and sliding down the wall before jumping off compared to precisely...

Trash thread.
it's not just wall jumps, this freedom of movement and physics depth permeates all through the controls in mario 64. it has yet to be surpassed in this regard.
>>3094640
fuck off, retard
I think that making it easier was a mistake, but jumping perpendicular to the wall is correct.

The game is Genesis: Beyond the Revelation. It was one of Square's earlier games for the PC-88.

Translator's notes mention it being a roguelike, but from what I've played it's nothing of the sort.

First time playing this. Thought it was meant to be a strategy game. I just equip every slid with the highest stat items (go smash a few heads at the arena if I do t have the funds) and trounce almost every mission (the only time I fail is when MC gets killed when somehow his body is fucking one hit KO, pseudorandom bullshit). Is it just because I'm playing easy mode?
Also can someone explain why enemies will occasionally target each other? It always misses (through the magic of chaff grenades) and their...

I've only played the SNES version, so this may not apply, but the game is very badly balanced. The only difficult mission is the Hell's Wall one, and that one is a joke because the AI is extremely bad. The slow gameplay becomes stale because there is so little variation and challenge over the course of the game. Not to mention the game itself is poorly designed; for instance you can only move then attack, not attack then move. It's a shame because I think this game had a lot of potential.
I don't...

Is there any music out there related to Castlevania Symphony Of The Night? No lyrics, just instruments?
SOTN related? what do you mean?
I can think of Malice Mizer's gekka no yasoukyoku song.
It has lyrics but the single includes an accordion arranged version and an instrumental/karaoke version, not sure if this is what you're looking for but whatever.

Music related to what is found in the soundtrack/game. Some tags that come to mind are gotchic, haunted, dark, epic, cathedral, classical. No emo.
Examples like:

I'm looking for music that is strictly instrumental, but thanks for the recommendation :]
>>3091923
Well Malice Mizer sounds a lot like Castlevania and they are in fact Castlevania fans themselves.
