how many consoles do you have, do you play all of them? Which ones do you play the least, which the most?
I have:
PC engine duo RX
PSX
Saturn
Dreamcast
Master System
Genesis
NES
SNES
and GBC
Ones I played the least:
Dreamcast
PSX
Ones I play the most:
SNES
Saturn
At the moment, PSOne, Game Boy Pocket, GBA SP, GameCube and PS2 Slim.
I have two policies:
- If I can emulate it with considerable accuracy, then I'll emulate it instead of investing in the hardware. PS1 emulation isn't that great, and I don't have the PC specs to attempt GC or PS2 emulation.
- I make a unique exception for handhelds, because I want to have something to play on-the-go.
All of my platforms usually receive equal attention. At the moment, I'm most interested in my Game Boy Pocket.
I'm thinking about investing in a PSP somewhere down the line, if only to use for portable emulation. There are some PSP-exclusive retro compilations that look good too.
NES
SNES
PS1
PS2
The only one hooked up now is the PS2 and that's so I can play Street Fighter 3 and some Virtua Fighter. PS1 has been in the closet for a couple decades and I only pull out the (S)NES on a rare as-needed basis since emus are just easier.
What's /vr/'s take on the hardest retro RPG ever made? Can be turn-based, action, whatever.
I would say SaGa Frontier 2. Just getting past the learning curve isn't enough. Every chapter is a point-of-no-return, and the game often hinders grinding by not allowing you to leave dungeons once you enter, stranding you with no way to heal your party or maintain your equipment. Several people have played all the way up to the final dungeon only to have to restart the entire game from scratch because of the extensive preparation that has to be done chapters ahead of time.
Wizardry IV: the Return of Werdna
Well that was easy.
Final Fantasy Legends
Most challenging game of all time, out of any genre.

>Final Fantasy Legends
Are you referring to the mobile game, or this?
Final Fantasy Legend for Game Boy wasn't too difficult. You could backtrack and grind as much as you wanted, although keeping any humans in your party equipped was certainly expensive.

Why was Squall so beta?
Wait, Seifer and Riona dated?
>>2827639
Briefly. He wasn't interested and she spends a good portion of Disc 1 trying to make him jealous by palling around with Squall.
>>2827646
Either it's been too long since I played FF8, or the details of its story were simply beyond comprehension. Because I don't remember this AT fucking ALL.

Couldn't pick one game, but I'll say that my favorite Pac-Man variant is Super Pac-Man.
Galaga
Ms. Pac-Man (turbo mode only)
Dig Dug
Tapper
Robotron 2084
Tempest
Tetris
Crazy Taxi
Can someone explain to me why everything Nintendo releases via Virtual Console is so dark and washed out looking?
Really it looks so shitty that I feel like this would be a major complaint about the service from most of the userbase, but I rarely ever see anyone who seems to bring it up.
>>2827073
I think it's cause they're afraid of users getting seizures from all the bright colors
just another way neo-nintendo feels it has to babysit their users
>>2827086
Why is it okay for Mario Maker to use bright colors for NES Mario but not have the actual NES game you can download look the same?
Also, source?
>>2827073
No one cares because no one has a WiiU.
Who here loves old Falcom games?
>>2826585
I never beat it, but always had fun fooling around in legacy of the wizard, even though that game is fucking impossible.
How old are we talking about?
I tried to get into Legend of Heroes 1 but it seems too unremarkable.
I enjoyed Xanadu and Ys 1 and 2. Couldn't get into Dragon Slayer or Romancia either.
>>2826585
Obligatory Most Popful Game.
Everybody praise the best SNES game!
>>2826525
Long live Metal Warriors!
>>2826527
Man, finished this game just a few days ago.
Great game, catchy music, nice gameplay, interesting plot, what an old gem.
The vs. mode is nice too but my friend would always pick Prometheus and that asshole, while having low mobility can sustain a lot of damage while dealing massive damage and i just don't know how to handle him.
That said, i also think Chrono Trigger is the best SNES game, i love retro games and i never played anything that i could consider better than CT.
>>2826548
That's good for you then, we all have different opinions. I get why CT is popular, but I didn't care for it much.
Good morning fellow gamers,
I'm here to ask and to see if anyone here has a "Top 3" Turn-based RPG games. I have completed majority of the NES/SNES/PS1 Final Fantasy Series, Super Mario RPG, Lost Odyssey, and Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana.
Not a lot, but I would like to know if there are more games similar to these I listed. I am 100% about trying anything out, as the JRPG/RPG is not as complicated or hard anymore. (Grant it I'm 30, been playing since I was a kid haha).
Thanks.
So you are 30 and still want to play childish weebaboo games? I don`t think that should be encouraged.
>>2826431
What are you looking for out of them? More story based or mechanics based?
Anyways, Phantasy Star IV excels at both and is one of the best 16 bit RPGs flat out. The Lunars are good too.

You're a special one.
What's wrong with Tower of Hera?
>>2826318
Pic unrelated.
Had you posted a pic of Dark World dungeon 3 I would agree with you, but I just don't understand that one, OP.
What are the best TMNT games?
The Manhattan Project and Turtles in Time are my favorites.

I want a good portable system, something that I can pop my ROMs on. A portable arcade/console emu, along the lines of a GP2x Wiz.
Are there any good ones, or anything along those lines, that anyone here would reccomend?
>this thread again
>>2825349
I'm just asking an honest question man, I barely even lurk here
>>2825315
use your smartphone
Defenders of Oasis is mine.
Deep Duck Trouble and Land of Illusion
>>2825228
really I loved Shinobi but I haven't tried those...
He's never coming back, is he?
>>2825038
Not unless you like playing pachinko.

I'm sure Konami saw the fans want Goeman back in there little survey this past summer....if they even read them. :(
The goemon team left Konami in 2005 anyway. They made a great swan song for Goemon with the DS game though, a shame it's still untranslated, but it's amazing.
I hope Good Feel gets to make an original IP for once, so far they've only made Nintendo IPs (all good games though). A spiritual successor to Goemon would be good.
Or maybe a rare chance of Konami letting Good Feel make a new Goemon game, but that's highly unlikely. Maybe with the help of Nintendo...
I know there are some Saturn and PS1 emulators that let you put an actual disk in your PC's drive and run it, are there any emulators that do that for the 3DO?
Isn't 3DO emulation legit terrible?
3DO emulation is atrocious, get a real 3DO or a 3DO Blaster for your retro PC.

Is it region free? I asked because I acquired an import game and just want to test it out.
So /vr/, what is the best way to enjoy FFVII On the go? On the PSP or the Vita? I might say that I kinda enjoy native resolutions or as close to them as possible.
>>2824759
iOS
>>2824997
Hell no, filthy casual scum.
