Do you use guides?
![FishingHookMap[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/DPG38Bz.png "FishingHookMap[1].png")
Only when i actually need it. I have left a lot of zeldas unfishined because i never knew how to progress.
>>3314431
I used to collect guides, even for games I didn't own. Never really used them much, just liked reading through them as a kid.
>>3314431
Off and on, i try not to be too dependent on them but there's times when you need to consult them.
Is it just me or is Duke 3D pretty underrated? Doom seems to get all the spotlight anymore and I hardly hear anyone talk about Duke nowadays. Sure DNF took some of the wind out of the series sails, but fuck that game, not retro anyway. I know Duke 3d is more popular and discussed than other games of it's day like Blood or Shadow Warrior, still and it may just be me, it feels like it's an underrated game.

Nobody talks about Duke nowadays because it's not as accesible as Doom in regards of source ports and the modding scene.
Good game, way harder than Doom, it's a shame eDuke32 is the only way to play it without becoming insane
Duke doesn't get as much love as Doom because Doom is easier to make content for. Theyre both old as motherfuck so the only thing keeping the community alive is new content and Doom has a lot more of that than Douk. Plenty of people rate the game, but it's not going to have the popularity of Doom because it doesn't have the constant trickle of new maps to play. It's like asking why nobody talks about Marathon anymore, it is definitely a good game but the editor is a bitch to get used to so relatively few people can make new content.

Metal Gear Solid photos take up 2 block on the memory card. 2 BLOCKS! A normal card only has 15 blocks total.
>>3314142
The memory card is 1MB, We can assume that each block is worth 68KB. If something takes up more than 68KB of space but less than 137KB, then it will take up 2 blocks.
If the images are saved in decent quality (not played MGS1 in centuries), taking up around 80-90KB is not unreasonable. The real problem here is that the memory card is shit, unlike the PS2 memory card which could handle any filesize within the 8MB limit.
If you ever played Music 2000 (or MTV Music Generator in the US) you could record a sample from any CD to use in your song. A cool idea, but because you were storing an uncompressed.wav on the memory card just one sample usually ended up taking up half the blocks. I bought hordes of memory cards to try to get around this but they filled quick.
>>3314142
Diablo 1 used 10 blocks just to save your character data, what's your point?
Have you guys ever had a short game you just keep replaying for a long time?
These days Im playing Syphon FIlter 1 alot its about a 3 to 4 hour long game and after I beat it I just begin from the start again
>>3313843
I have been the original super mario land around 6 times since it is the shortest game i have played. There are only 4 worlds in it and 16 levels and i can beat it within a hour.
>>3313843
Yeah, lot of times. And often I imposed myself some rules.
TMNT on NES and Wonderboy in Monster Land on SMS. Couldn't beat either as a kid, can smash both these days. I think I just keep playing them and beating them out of a sense of revenge.
Technically you could buy this pack from steam (it's on sale), transfer the roms onto an everdrive, and it would be 1000000% legal and shelf collector fags would be 9000000000000% BTFO right?
>>3313704
>BTFO
why?
also, are they roms?
Is that how it works?
Say I buy metal slug on steam.. But I don't wanna use the shitty emulator Dotemu has provided me. I can just use winkawaks or mame and it would be legal?
>>3313720
>are they roms?
Of course they are. Sega wants a quick buck. Why on earth would they waste time and money porting every game?

Playing this and finding very good. Anything I need to know before advance through the game? As missables, secrets and stuff.
And recommend similar games too, please. Got really interested in the genre, now which I bought a PSP.
>>3312058
Yes there are missable things but the key "feature" of this game is replaying the multiple endings. I had the guide book as a kid cant find that now.
You will need to use a guide for this game and will develop ocd like most tactical rpgs. Some of the later battles are extremely hard if you dont level up your stats correctly.
I still need to finish the game actually myself. Also you will either hate or love the WD "jokes".
>>3312058
Is this basically Escaflowne: The Tactical RPG?
Why have I not played this?

What are the most interesting games for the X68000? Bonus points for titles with good soundtracks.
>>3307878
The Nemesis III and Castlevania remakes.
Castlevania and Geograph Seal
Thunder Force II on the x68000 is superior to Thunder Force IV and III, seriously, god fucking tier music and graphics.
Tifa or AERIS
Neither. Yuffie is best.
Tifa. Nice rack, good personality, puts out.
