I want to live in a world where all 3D Sonic games were like the ones on Sega Saturn.

I never understood why they couldn't make a full game out of this, sonic R was a fast paced game so why don't mix that with this and get shit done.
>>3213359
I do too... maybe one day someone who likes the Saturn enough will make a fangame/ROM hack worthy of being played.

also i love the model of sonic in this and sonic R, i don't remember if saturn 3D blast has that design.

Not saying it was terrible game but was this the worst in the final fantasy series? It didn't have improved gameplay like any of the previous games did. I feel like this game was as barebones as an rpg can get.
The story was pretty great for SNES era. This was the first game I ever played where party members permanently died or left.
I don't know, it was my first RPG so maybe I'm biased but I always liked it. It's simple yeah, but there's nothing wrong with that since it's entertaining and short.
Ai from deathgaze likes it, so it can't be bad.
How ubiquitous were sound cards in the old (90s) days of gaming? Did people really shell out $200+ for this pic related bad boy to get better MIDI support for DooM and Ultima?
Sound card stuff is way before my time so I wouldn't even know how to compare minimum requirements. What happened if you had an outdated card? Would there be no sound, would the sound just not be as good?

Back in the day it made a big difference. Not really anymore, or past 96/97 after doom came out really. Processors became powerful enough where the identical thing could be done in software. The main issue is the quality of your pre-amp.
yes people paid money for sound cards you fucking idiot how old are you?
>>3217147
What I mean is, did people get excited about sound cards the way people do about video cards today? Did they buy them day one and strap them in with a sense of anticipation of better bleeps and bloops?
Or was it just a necessity, and that most people went for an older or bargain model.
This also would've been before the days of a computer being a multimedia center so in the early 90s I imagine a lot of general comsumers skimping on the sound card and just having no sound at all. Or maybe they didn't,...

Just use a fucking PS3 controller shit. If it costs too much use a ps2 controller with an adapter. If you want to use your controller in pc games, don't want to spend 50 bucks and want wireless get an afterglow controller. Otherwise just get usb adapters for the console controllers you want and use the original controllers you faggot
Is it just nostalgia or is it really one of the greatest games of all time? What's everyone's favorite part? Favorite character/materia/boss/OST?
>>3212747
Mostly nostalgia. It's not one of the greatest games of all time but it's still pretty damn good. My favorite part would be all of Midgar, my favorite character is Cid, my favorite materia would be the 4x Cut, I don't have a favorite boss and my favorite OST would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrwQPtxR36M

I didn't think it was that good. Going to go with nostalgia.
I am playing throught it for the first time right now.
I will post my thoughts on it as soon as I finish.
Are eBay threads allowed? I'm kind of new to buying retro games, used to just emulate them and it seems like eBay is generally the best place to find them. So eBay thread I guess.
Share your best bargains, worst losses etc. Is sniping the only viable way to get games at decent prices?
I got these for $180 recently. More then I should have paid, but I can afford it. Got to rebuild that N64 collection.
