Old thread is here
>>2791834
Old Diablo thread is nearly at bump limit, so here's a new one.
Currently doing a warrior run in Diablo. Going to move onto Diablo II soon. I completed normal mode like 5 years ago and haven't played it since, and I'm planning to do a full playthrough up to the end of hell mode on battle.net. Anybody care to join me?
Anyone have a working upload of the original?

I got mine off of https://archive.org/details/Diablo_1996_Blizzard
The direct download is fairly slow. Haven't tried the torrent. If you're running something newer than XP then you will want to look at this compatibility guide: http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/thread-13200.html
If you've run D2+expac already, try doing a MedianXL: Ultimativ run.
Adds like thousands of hours worth of playtime and content, and awesome new skills. Also, the unique looting, disenchanting, and crafting system pleases my loot lust.
ITT discuss games that have ports on multiple platforms, which versions are worth playing and why. Remember, the most powerful hardware =/= the best version of a game.

THE ALPHA 2 PORT ON SNES IS SHIT
PSX ONE HAS MISSING FRAMES SO FUCK THAT
SATURN ALL DAY NIGGA
Now the one I personally wanted to discuss was Dragon Spirit. I expanded the thread to the more general topic because it could be interesting.
Anyway, today I picked up Dragon Spirit for NES even though I already have the TG-16 version. Normally I don't get more than one version of any game unless I absolutely love it but it was cheap so I figured why not. It controls a littler better, has more levels & cinematics between them but I do love the way TG-16 games look & sound. Are both worth keeping or should one just be weeded from the library?

Correct Saturn AND you ideally want the one that came in a double pack with SSFII because it has Cammy as a secret character whereas standard SFAII for Saturn does not.
Let's share some our favorite vidya music, and remember to keep it retro

ITT: Stupid designs in retro characters.
A metal plate over her vagina? What the fuck were they thinking?
>>2928241
There's a rational explanation for everything.
>>2928252
God Bless you, sir, I've been looking for that image for ages.
I wonder what he pantyhose smells like haha just for laughs
Think of a /vr/ character.
Draw them from memory.
>>2911982
What?
No. I'm at work.
Here's one I couldn't quite remember
>>2911990
Then don't post.
>>2911995
Its still pretty decent
Is the Sega Saturn a system worth buying? What are some its best games?
>>2900410
It's definitely worth a buy, but you're gonna want one that plays imports for sure. Some of the best stuff never came out in North America.
>>2900410
Nothing going further than PSX have..
If you have a Mega Drive/Genesis try things like Shining Force saga and think about it.
I you like so much the Mega Drive, its ok, but if not, PSX will have anything you want-
Its my opinion.
>>2900410
If you're into 90's-era Capcom fighters, it's got everything you need. Be sure to invest in an Action Replay or RAM cart, though. They're unplayable without one of the those.
Why made this game so unfun?
>I didn't like something. Time to inform the internet!
What went wrong?
Nothing? Some of the best fun I've had in arcade, Gameboy version is also pretty good. Haven't played the sequels though

Jackshit.
It was the inspiration for Zelda.
>>2931162
Tower of Druaga -> Zelda
Dragon Buster -> Zelda 2
Pac-Land -> Super Mario Bros
Baraduke -> Metroid
Nintendo is full of hacks.
Exactly what the fuck was Capcom thinking when they rescored the soundtrack to Resident Evil?
At least it produced something this unintentionally hilarious:

>I like how the first note tries to set up the atmosphere, but then the song degenerates into a man dying of flatulence with an out of tune trumpet glued to his ass
I think the composer was going for a violent, scary cacophony but picked the entirely wrong "instrument" for the intended effect.

They noticed how no one took RE1 seriously, and rightly so, so they went "it was always meant to be tongue in cheek guise, lol, cant you hear the new music, this is the way it was always meant to be."
Just bought Phantasy Star Online, what am I in for /vr/?
Dreamcast version isn't that good IMO.
>>2924852
elaborate anon
you're about 16 years late to the party, brah
should've just downloaded PSOBB instead
Is there anything more retarded than wasting your whore life getting good at a videogame only to watch the community die and move on in a couple years? Do you feel like a big fat failure?
No, because I play games to have fun, not to participate in a community. The community is of secondary importance.
I play games for fun shitbag
beating competition players in the arcade is just an unanticipated dessert
There's a community?
Hey /vr/
Recently bought a SW-23000 in order to run emulators from my PC to my CRT. Will be getting in soon and wanted to know if any of you had done the same and what your experience was like.
Cheap shit into cheap shit isn't going to get you good shit.
>>2926612
Please elaborate.

Not really all that different from the old AVerMedia AVerKey's. It works, but the picture is a bit on the fuzzy side(don't expect to be able to read small text), and there is the occasional scanline distortion, and the occasional frame of lag. You will be able to play, but it's not that much of an improvement from using your LCD monitor, and in some ways will be worse. You'll get more enjoyment using it to send video signal from movies and tv shows to your CRT. Call me crazy, but old B/W movies...

Wario's games are better than Mario's games
Wario is better than Mario.
They're different, Wario games are slower paced and focus more on exploration.
For GB platformers, the Wario Land games were so packed with personality.
Chillest stages?
>>2930896
Also best soundtrack

Your mom's bedroom, stage 1 act 69, faggot.
>download SSF saturn emulator
>only lets you run games from a disc
whats the point?
Well.
An emulator's job is to emulate.
>>2930839
To cause inconvenience for dirty pirates like you, obviously.
Just get any disc mounting software.
Obligatory sage.
>emulating Saturn
you fell for it
