I've read that quite a number of people swear by these being far better than the PS1 remakes. Any particular reasons why? I have played each of the SCD versions in the distant past but didn't manage to hang onto them, so memory is very fuzzy outside of them having random battles.
Also Lunar thread?
Akshully it's only the second game that's clearly superior on the sega cd. The first game is fine, they only messed up the soundtrack that sounds really wimpy and lame on the PS1 for some reason.

>random battles.
Yeah that's a cool thing they added on the ps1, you can see and avoid enemies on the map.

why did WD fuck up eternal blue by forcing saves to cost magic? They also censored the boss tiddies. Fuck WD just play the japanese version which is also cheaper.
Daily reminder that everyone that made Konami special back in their glory days now works for Good Feel.Treasure's staff now either work at M2, Good Feel Tokyo or have since retired and is now a IP holder.You can blame Iga & Kojima for Konami's down fall

The Goemon team made Contra, Castlevania, Parodius and Silent Hill? News to me.
>>3162419
They also the Gradius (Kobe did the MSX trilogy (MSX-Salamander, 2 and GnYE2) when Tokyo did the arcade trilogy plus arcade Salamander as well) trilogy and TwinBee as well.

Look at that field effect.
White elements are 2x stronger than they should be.
If you spam black elements you can reduce them to 0.5x of the original.
You could reduce those 618 damage to 154 if you knew what you're doing.

Used to have a C64 & 1541 disk drive, but not that monitor. Parents made me give it all away.
Now I have that monitor, but no C64/1541.
Anyway, I really enjoyed playing Sargon, Black Magic, and Realms of Impossibility back in the day.
>>3136829
Defender of the Crown
Epic
Also Bard's Tale and Hawkeye
Best NES game?
Battletoads
>>3156796
sonic the hedgehog
Blaster Master
I miss demo discs
Hell yeah. N64 didn't get this kinda action. Did you play the one with the dual stick cooking game?
I miss when demos where free and consumers had the power to try it before they bought it, forcing developers to actually create something worth showing off/respond to feedback and fix what was broken before launch.
Also I loved Squaresoft's demos, the presentation was great. Xenogears was pretty funny how it's demo broke the fourth wall.

I looked through the catalog and didn't find much in the way of art threads. Can we get a good video game art thread going? Cover art more than welcome, but any interesting promo art is more than welcome.
Yes, I love game art!

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.

noob question. Can someone give me a good explanation why flat screen hdmi crt's are shit for retro gaming? There is a mammoth one at the thrift store for $7 and I really want it. If not for Retro vidya, for modern stuff.
>>3153494
All the HDMI CRTs I know of do scaling on the 240p signal to bring it up to a resolution that can be displayed by the ~33khz horizontal sync frequency of the flyback transformer (assuming this is a 1080i CRT).
It is scaled digitally in much the same way as a LCD would. HDMI CRTs are 'pixel-aware' in a way that the purely analog ones without small computers inside are not.
>>3153502
It's a Toshiba Wide Screen. I checked the back, has all the connections you'd want plus 2 hdmi inputs.
If my retro games will have lag and look like balls on it, will my HD systems look good/better than a conventional hd tv?
Remember back in the 90s, when the Sega/Nintendo and Sonic/Mario rivalry was still a thing? Back when there were all those arguments over which was better, Sega or Nintendo, and which would come out on top?
God damn, Nintendo sure won the fuck out of that didn't they?
No, I remember back in the 90s when I had both the SNES and the Genesis and played both Mario and Sonic games.
both are great

Sony won the fuck out of that
Hello everyone.
I would like to discuss the mother series. Let's share experiences, feels and general stuff that we lived when we played the games.
Nothing but good memories with Mother games. And fairly recent memories because I first played the series in 2009, played them in release order.
Actually got into the series because of the music composer (Suzuki) and Itoi, as both of them wrote a song (Suzuki the music, and Itoi the lyrics) that's a favorite of mine. I went into the series without knowing of its cult following until some time after.
Weird seeing there's still people who haven't played mother for the first time.
>>3133885
>>3133892
I just recently played mother. I started with earthbound but i just played a little cause my little brother fucked up my save files and after that i wasn't with that drive to play it.
The one i finished recently was mother 3.
Godamn, what a fuckin masterpiece!
I'm going to play mother 0 before earthbound so i can keep some linear development.
Shame that mother 3 gave me the Porky spoiler

I'm kinda interested in MSX emulation, but don't know where to start... for games. Is this a "must have" list of games that are English. My understanding is pretty much all of the MSX games and Japan region.

Don't you sometimes feel depressed at how pointless getting good at a videogame is? All those wasted hours and you've essentially accomplished nothing.
>>3159353
we're all going to die anyways so anything we do means nothing
>>3159353
Nah, not really. If you really like a game then getting good is just a way for you keep playing. If you enjoy it, it's worth it. It's as simple as that.
That's why I don't force it. I know that if I dedicated religiously 1 or 2 hours a day at any given game, no matter how hard, I would become eventually good at it, even more if I spent time looking up online information about metagame, techniques, etc, as well as watching superplays or pro players and learn from them.
But that'd be a lot of time I'm not willing to spend in one game.
Sometimes I feel like 1cc games because I really like them and I enjoy learning them, all by myself.
But most of the times I'm fine if I can beat a game...
