What do you guys think of the Amiga version of Castlevania?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utFlAX9RJQM
I've read people around here say this one is one of the best and better than the original NES version, but I dunno... not sure...

>>3195132

>>3195146
The Autistic Australia-kun Bros.
Akumajyo Dracula X peke > Rondo of Blood

You're right, I can't.
Because I never played them and I don't give a damn.
Another Castlevania thread, just what this board needed.

Is there any kind of good emulation for light gun games?
Possibly use a mouse if no good options for a gun?
Yes, you can use a Guncon 2 in Windows using a hacked driver but you need to be outputting a 15khz video signal.
>>3195060
I should had clarified.
I mean something for a modern gaming PC. Maybe some kind of VR thing?
Re-reading your OP it kind of has the flavor that you're not particularly experienced with emulation so to answer your question directly, yes you can use your mouse as a light gun in most modern emulators. It can also be kind of fun to tap-to-shoot on tablets. Maybe buy an old resistive touch screen and actually shoot it with airsoft pellets how fun would that be?
I was very excited at the prospect of buying Tetris today on 3DS eshop, but apparently I'm about a year and a half late to the fact that they were pulled from Virtual Console if favor of Tetris Ultimate. So are there any other good versions of Tetris out there worth getting instead? I've always seen the Gameboy version as the no-frills standard, but my options are quickly diminishing.

>So are there any other good versions of Tetris out there worth getting instead?
The New Tetris on N64 is the best fucking Tetris game around.
>>3194938
Puyo Puyo Tetris is the best modern way to play Tetris.
Also there's already a puzzle thread up, lurk more.

CFW your 3DS
So I managed to pick up an NTSC SNES pretty cheap recently but I live in the PAL region. It came with a standard American AC adapter, with the two -pin end. I have an american-to-european adapter so that I can plug it in, but I'm worried about the voltage and frequency differences between NTSC and PAL regions, and whether or not it would be dangerous to plug it in without some kind of converter. I heard that some equipment is frequency and voltage insensitive, but I don't know much about the SNES.
Is there something I should know? Or is it pretty common to use an NTSC SNES in Europe? Any help would be appreciated.
>>3194926
If the adapter says something like "Input: 100-240V~, 50-60Hz," then you will be OK to use it without an additional converter.
American power lines are something like 110VAC RMS at 60 Hz, while your power is probably something like 220VAC RMS @ 50 Hz. If the adapter has all four of those numbers on it, it works in either situation. I don't know off the top of my head whether the original SNES adapter does or not. Newer replacement adapters probably do, as almost all contemporary consumer DC electronics use region-agnostic adapters.
>>3194936
Thanks, this reply was very helpful!
You can use a mega drive model 1 pal adapter if the us snes has the same polarity as the super famicom. Don't use a pal snes one, it'll work but it's not healthy for the system at all.
How did one go about actually purchasing a Neo Geo AES and games back in the early 90s outside of Japan? Most sales must have been through import stores and such, right? It's not like Toys R Us would have had a big selection of AES carts to choose from.
>>3194451
Specialty stores and mail order most likely.
>>3194452
It must have been. I've always wondered about this because I grew up in a small town and the Neo Geo AES was always this nebulous, mythical console that I only saw in my video game mags. I'd imagine specialty stores like EB only sold it at their locations in big markets like New York, L.A., etc.

What was it like inside before they moved and Zynga took over?
>>3194305
I have driven past that sega sign on 101 in SF since I was a kid. Zynga and Sega where located right next to each other. Sega's logo is still up on one building. I guess Zynga bought their old building? Zynga is not doing well right now either. I always wanted to go inside. Now they moved to LA which is probably better since SF is a safe space hipster war zone now.
here is part of their "archive" of lost source code.
>>3194386
cant read shit but Grandia 2. Also they would't have source code for games developed in Japan. Thats up to the Japs.

Wrong picture OP, this is it.
>>3194180
No, but a damn fine choice.
3dfx vs Direct3D vs OpenGL
Which one is better? Are early 3dfx games better than D3D? At what point in time has D3D superseded it? When given the choice, which one you choose?

Can we have a Saturn thread? I'm thinking of bringing the old boy out and use Pseudo Saturn but I'm not sure what to play.
There's a lot of arcadey games on it.
I need to play Burning Rangers and Bulk Slash but the first time I played them I didn't enjoy them too much.
Everytime I use the Saturn I end up playing fightan and shmup.

played some of this but its not as impressive as i though it was

So what do you think of caveman games?
It's an olympic style game from 1988.
nicely memed my friend.
I also watched it on cinemassacre, let's pretend to talk about the game.
>>3192506
It is surpisingly detailed for a shovelware-looking NES game, a few laughs are guaranted but nothing else IMO.

What good submarine games are worth investing time in? I don't mind the "boring" ones where you have to do a ton of planning to play correctly.
I just played a bit of this Silent Service game. It was primitive but now I realize that there are submarine games around. What else is there worth playing?
My mother's husband used to play Aces of the Deep back in the DOS days. It's one of those "games only you played" so I don't know what the word on the street is. Anyway check it out.

>>3192473
Yeah aces of the deep is the best. Watch das boot then play that. There's a pack you can DL somewhere that comes with everything you need to play on a modern pc
>>3192457
Where can I get the original Silent Hunter? Not on Steam, not on Piratebay.
It's unfair that Kirby threw this game into bizarro realm, because of Nintendo as a company
