What are your favorite Dragon Ball games?
Bonus points if it includes future Trunks
>>3318235
There was this odd Game Boy RPG-ish game I used to play all the time, just because it was Dragon Ball. I remember actually beating it once, and it covered the couple first Adult Goku story arcs (maybe up to Vegeta maybe)
A friend got the french-translated fighting game for the Mega Drive too; pretty neat one as well
>>3318235
I still have a physical copy of that exact game with the converter since cartridges on the US SNES were different. I had a lot of fun but Trunks is cheese on the water map or in the sky on any map since you can't crouch down to block.
>>3318235
Hyper Dimension is the only SNES DBZ fighter worth playing
Which version was better?
The MSX game? I don't know man, it's more like it's own thing.
Castlevania because it didn't require you to get through the entire thing with only three lives.
>>3317854
what's the score for in Castlevania? From what I can tell the game doesn't keep high scores
I have all the NES, SMS and TG16 games on my PC. There are so many I haven't even loaded 1/3 of them
What are some lesser known masterpieces to try out?
This gem, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers was the first game besides SMB1 I beat as a kid.
Pic unrelated?
>>3317737
>lesser known
>Rescue Rangers
"no"
>>3317974
that's a tricky one. It's certainly unrelated to
>What are some lesser known masterpieces to try out?
but it fits
>Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers was the first game besides SMB1 I beat as a kid
perfectly. The two statements though, have nothing to do with each other.

get the skeletons off me
Is there a download anywhere for Redneck Rampage? I wanna try it out.
Played Renegade all the time decades ago. Could tell it had the deepest lore but never knew about the Kunio series. They never bothered to connect it to River City Ransom or any of the reskinned sports games. Could have had way more of my custom. Mr. K was awesome.
Kunio series thread?
I had that game for Amstrad CPC. Never could get past first stage, even though I beat all the other fighting games like Barbarian, Kung Fu Master, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Exploding Fist, etc.
Actually I pretty much just go beat up within seconds of the start. That must be when I gave up on fighting games.

>fighting games
It's a belt scroller
Why is the toughest enemy in the game a fat lady who smacks you with her purse
>>3318521
>belt scroller
Never heard of that one, we always called them fighting games or beat'em ups.
Hey I remember awhile ago a /vr/ anon put together a really nice, well organized site full of ROMs, what was its name?
theromdepot
last i know it disappeared
>>3316665
underground-gamer.com
>>3316674
Some turbo-autist on /vr/ got pissed off at the guy that made that site for some reason and dogged him in every thread he made. Eventually he hacked or DDOS'd theromdepot not sure which.
So what are the Pros and Cons of Emulation?
Being able to endlessly post bait threads about them on 4chan.
>>3315961
pros: more options with games (savestates, speedup etc)
access to entire library for free
no hookup and space hassle
cons
not all emulators work well
not all games work well on emulators
getting proper controllers can be a hassle
not an authentic experience.

Hi /vr! My NES doesn't work anymore. I managed to find out that it comes from power supply. Do you guys know the value of winding resistance on both side and the wiring schema?
Thanks a lot
>>3315770
What the fuck did you do?
Also, don't wind a new power supply.
Just buy a new one capable of handling the amperage needed.
>>3316725
That's 9v at 1.3 amps, btw.
>>3316725
>winding resistance
I'm guessing he's a non native English speaker who knows maybe a little bit about electrical work and next to nothing about electronics. Winding resistance is something you measure in power transformers, like those big things you see on poles or at substations.
If he's that desperate to save money not buying a $5 replacement PS he could replace the transformer with any old one with similar specs. I can't say exactly what those are because Brazil...

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE EARTH CAVE
Have you explored the land mass outside the village at all? There are two caves in the southwest region.
>>3315689
I'm pretty sure I explored the entirety of it, and I only found the cave with the titan.
>>3315682
the map that came with the game clearly marks it
Which is the worst classic-style Resident Evil game: Nemesis or Code Veronica?
Can't we just like them both for their own merits?
It's like you guys sit around all day dreaming up shit threads to start arguments with.
>>3314682
They're both great. Try starting a thread on Genesis music instead.
If you pick Gerudo you have to be female.

This, Zora looks like the most fun.
Does Sonic the Hedgehog look better than Super Mario World?
>>3313779
They have very different art styles. Both look good.
It's got way better parallax. Mario World has some pretty bland backgrounds.
On a technical level I would say yes. Sonic 1 (and especially 2 and 3) not only had more detailed textures, but also psudo 3D effects like the palm trees in the first world. On an artistic level, they are very different and it gets kind of subjective.

>tfw figured out how to install games
Feels good. Made myself a blank hard drive too. Now I just need something to play.
>>3313090
What's so difficult about installing games? It's the same as all other computers. The hardest part might be finding the installer Gainax hid on the second disk.
>>3313128
Well, I had to format a blank hard drive and then figure out how to move the installer and then run it. It was fairly easy but I got stuck because the installer wouldn't let me install because the "floppy discs" I used weren't read only. Now I had no idea how to make them read only until I realized it was as easy as making them read only in the properties menu.
Also, fucking Gainax this is a quiz game at give me at least enough time to read the question.
is tribes dead?
What made you ask that silly question.
Of course it is, spectacularly so!
I still hop in some dead tribes 1 servers once in a while to dick around
>>3312503
unfortunately yes
I want to experience the evolution of the medium firsthand, but I can't find anything like a worldwide and non system specific chronological list of important, influential and worthwhile games. Does such a thing exist, or is the medium too commercially influenced and immature to be subject to such selection and study?
>>3310472
there's probably some academic literature on the subject for college classes? has video game history become a college major yet?
>>3310472
Even a very sketchy and bare list would take a crazy amount of time to play through and drag you through all kinds of stuff you probably wouldn't enjoy, depending on your taste
Unless you grew up on that shit there's no point in revisiting it. Hell if you're a modern developer probably studying gambling is a more worthwhile endeavor.
