I've played a lot of the metroidvania games, wanted to try a classicvania. But the controls are just so shitty and unsatisfying.
>go up stairs by pressing up
>difficult to even get on stairs
>can't change direction while attacking in the air
>attacking on the ground stops all motion
I tried using a gcc as well as keyboard and mouse but they're both shit. How did people put up with this?
We were gayer back in the day.

I can only imagine how you'd feel about the other Classicvanias.
I just got this today. Is it really that bad? So far, the only problem I have with it is the camera controls and the lock on.
>>3058713
Decent 3D platformer. It's fucking horrible compared to literally any 2D Castlevania though.
>>3058719
>horrible
Why, though? I can understand if it doesn't follow the usual Castlevania formula, but is it good on its own? Also, how's the sequel?
That is pretty much it. It is a good game but the problem is that you have to get accustomed to the controls and that there are certain parts that the camera will fight you or make you die such as obscuring a platform you want to jump on and end up dying due to that.
So no, it isn't really that bad.
Honestly is it fair to consider Amiga and Atari ST American computers? They never made anything of value for them so I think it's time for them to admit we Europeans are their rightful owners. Plus Tramiel was born in Poland, Europe.
MSX stays japanese because we only provided shitty spectrum ports.
>>3057984
well I suppose by that logic they arent american... but does it honestly fucking matter?
>>3057984
Atari is as American as apple pie, sorry yuro-friend.
>Plus Tramiel was born in Poland, Europe.
Yes, and most of the engineers were probably American.
How good is the wii at emulating ps1?
Well, it's about emulating PS1 on a Wii, so, it's half retro(?).
>>3057924
not well. orignal xbox can, a cheap laptop will do much better
>>3057924
Get a PS2 or PS3 instead. Those consoles play PS1 games. Or you could get an actual PS1. A PS1 is pretty easy to find and it's dirt cheap too.
i always die at the second part of the ski level :(
git good
>>3057724
that was not my question. i already play with infinite lives cheat. question is what do you have to do to jump over the second part? i dont know. i'm stuck
>>3057724
>git good
Says the person who never played it. The stage floor is glitched. If the stage was only difficult, I would see your point. But having to deal with glitches is bullshit.
PAL or NTSC?
The one with the country that made it to the moon.
>>3057672
sooo SECAM?

I get Australia and New Zealand but

Flippin' Panels. All day er'ry day.
How do you improve your play, once you've mastered the basics, notice the patterns, and have superfast finger speed?
Nobody here likes these games?
what.
>>3057696
I like Panel de Pon but I suck at it so I cannot offer you any advice.
I like PDP but I'm not great at it either dude
Does Ian have autism?
Ian is so annoying. I cant watch anything hes in.
I don't think so, if he had autism he wouldn't be able to hold a conversation, but he's a huge nerd for sure.
>>3057175
I don't even know how you came to that conclusion, he seems pretty normal to me. Definitely an introvert though.
Does anyone know how to make monsters respawn at Ravenloft 2 Stone Prophet?
Once you get rid of them in dungeons they don't reappear. Only a handful of zombies
and some other ones in the open desert.
Somehow editing the LEV***.DATsave files
>>3057148
Man that game was hard af
Have a bump
SSI really went downhill once the CD-ROM era started.
>>3057148
Sorry OP I have no idea, but I do really want to replay the Ravenloft games now. So thanks... and Ravenloft general I guess?
HOLY SHIT THERE WAS DESCENT 3???????????????????????
Yes but it wasn't received very well.
Obligatory

It's portal implementation had weird multiplayer bugs re: how different clients predicted projectile hits.
what are some enjoyable youtube channels that aren't just LPs? more like retro reviews, retrospectives, interviews...
i kinda like Matt Bartons "Matt Chat" series.
>YouTube

>take it home
>have the best damn time I ever had
What a glorious find. Then again, you couldn't go wrong with a squaresoft game back then. Except for chocobo dungeon.
>>3056649
>chocobo dungeon.
Fuck you. That game was great.
>>3056649
one of the best endings on a game.
I had always wanted to play that game and your thread reminded me, so thanks OP.
I'm curious about a few things though...

What's a good way to make money re selling games?
I already have a solid job but could use second income.
My hypothetical model would be buying stuff from crackheads off craigslist and flipping it on eBay.
Any tips or other models would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your bottom line is really shitty unless you find insane deals like Conkers for 10 bucks.
Its a waste of time. The only reason gamestores are successful is because they literally do not have to source product AND they get it for cheap (like 10-30% of its value)
>>3056667
Exactly. Unless you have a market outside of ebay where you can regularly obtain cheap stock (or you already have a large amount of games to sell), you'll probably wind up being one of those tards who buys on ebay and tries to resell on ebay, either losing money, breaking even, or sitting on an excessive BiN that no one ever pursues.
Maybe you'll have some luck on cl, but you won't be the only one shopping there nor is cl a guaranteed deal. Unless you are very aggressive and very diligent about...

This son of a bitch...

dont use explosives either they take more damage from nails or the ssg
Run up close to him so he does his melee attack. Back up before he hits you, unload what you got, repeat. Time it just right.
What's the consensus on Zelda II here?
Really fucking good, there's no reason for it to be as unpopular as it is
>>3056498
Best 2D Zelda game tbqh.
>AH-HA-HA-HA
Fantastic game.
