Go full psp.

Pretty much this. Stay away from the Playstation versions of the older titles since there's a ton of loading and it's annoying.

>>3295656

A lot of the later ports are really watered down or are of questionable quality control by comparison. If they didn't drop the difficulty level, then they shoehorned in a bunch of unwanted content, or mucked up the translation. Personally, I'd go this route:

>FF1 and 2 - PS1 (Origins)
I can't necessarily recommend the original NES / Famicom versions due to the extensive number of bugs and unimplemented features. While those versions are playable, you're...

Nothing beats classic Millipede for me.

Some people complained that they ramped the difficulty up too much by making enemy patterns and appearances so chaotic, but isn't that the point? Everybody had already mastered Centipede, and Centipede's mechanics were so exploitable that you could easily set up conditions for playing the game indefinitely.

Of course, there's also Gauntlet and Gauntlet II. I'm more debated on Gauntlet II though. The difficulty was clearly balanced to be as greedy as possible, because food is made to appear so disproportionately late into the game that you'll literally die from starvation if you don't feed the machine more quarters.

Yar's Revenge started out as a Star Castle port. Played Gravitar?

I have some arcade machines and it's honestly hard to say what makes a game special in a cabinet... I love Cadash so much and so so so many fighting games but I'll say Tempest for the color vector monitor.

instead of virtual boy in the original thread, I mean to put "the virtual boy" sorry...

The Virtual Boy barely even qualifies as virtual reality. The VB is basically just a 3D screen, modern VR has much more going on behind the scenes to create a far more immersive experience.

>>3295198
What are you talking about? The first post was phrased perfectly.

>>3295251
Ok, lets change the topic to, experiences with virtual reality... I probably should have just posted this in /v/...

Heroes 3 was kickass.

I love skies of arcadia, but I wouldn't call it brilliant. It's flawed and very cliche, but yet at the same time does it in a way that's so perfect you can overlook the flaws and enjoy it as a very good rpg.

Wild Arms 3 is either comparable or flat out better than Skies of Arcadia in every way.

Also shares some of the same development staff.

Also Aika got raped hard

I guess she's a Mail on that scale because Mail is my favorite vidya girl

Correct answer!

so can we all agree that she's pretty much /vr/'s waifu

Continue playing Alienation because I've beat everything that interests me on the Saturn already.

>>3293904
Quickly throw those away, turn Sega Saturn on. Bulk Slash.

GAYY BONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

I do.

DKC had GOAT underwater stages. What are some other games that did it right?

Although I find the game "meh", Vectormans 2nd stage which was mostly underwater was pritty gud.

Fun atmosphere and good dev team.

interesting characters, whimsical setting, lots of minigames and villagers have funny dialogue

Konami had their chance to bring the DS game over but made once again huge statement by ignoring it. I'm still mad about it

It's something that exists and has varying degrees of functionality depending on the system and game. A lot of people are benefited from it, being able to play games without owning them or the systems in different other devices.

Filters are silly as what really matters is the physical screen you're using.

Great. Not as good as the real hardware, but being able to play games is always a great thing.

How was the whole deal with Sony thing? Is there any actual documentation on the matter, or just stuff written by journalists?
I remember reading Nintendo signed first, didn't saw the small letter which said every CD game for the Nintendo PlayStation would go 100% profit to Sony, how true is that?

I don't know anyway, it's hard to imagine what would have happened, the Nintendo PS would have still been a Super Nintendo with CD capabilities, I think eventually Sega would release the Saturn to compete against it, since the Sony PS1 wouldn't exist yet.

segacd with better marketing and less shitt FMV. probably more animu fmv instead

Almost all my information comes from articles on the matter. I've been unable to locate any primary sources or other direct links.

Even for GBA is better.

GBC, sorry

>>3291275
Nah mate you aren't wrong, the GBA one is better than the PSX garbage too. Hell, the PC version got it beat.

Its probably one of my favorite NES games. It is just fucking incredibly difficult, but lots of NES games can be. Doesnt make it bad

why did The Cuck ruin this game's reputation

>>3288496
Agreed, Silver Surfer is great. My only complaint is that your rate of fire is too low, and tapping becomes uncomfortable. This is of course remedied with an autofire controller, though.

game gear.
getting all of them is looking to be achievable here soon. also original game boy. they are small and a briefcase fits an entire library just about. but I do have most all the SNES titles that I want some Ill just have to wait for like super turrican 2 oR a few others.

None. I really don't understand the point of collecting, if by collecting you mean to amass literally every game and peripheral ever released for said hardware, regardless of whether or not you have any interest in playing the console's full library.

The only games I physically invest in are those that are reasonably affordable, that I want to play, and that can be easily maintained in working condition. I usually won't bother to invest in real hardware if there are decent emulators available, although fifth generation tends to be plugin-based nonsense...

I collect snes, but have been having trouble starting up my collection. I dislike buying off eBay for various reasons, least of which is I can't inspect the game myself and verify its legit, seems too easy nowadays for people to get repros of these old carts to make money. So I've resorted to dealing with my retro collector community and have only recently started running into people I can trust.
