what does 奈美 mean?
>>3119845
Nami.
>times were better then
>>3118373
what a fucking mess, clean it up, geez.
Carts all over the place, and I don't see any protective sleeves!
>>3118380
hop in the time machine right now and do that op!
>>3118373
>tfw somewhere out there, in some old house or abandoned building, there's still a table like this, undisturbed since the early 90s.
I pose the question to you.
...first 1 then the other
>>3118054
Neither.
>>3118060
I only have a Genesis right now. Buying a model 1 Saturn with new batteries and scart and shit is too much for me right now.
Even on the virtual console this game has noticeable input lag, anyone know why?

>>3116290
virtual console = emulator
You will experience additional lag if playing on a LCD display.
>>3116296
no im playing on a PVM, this game is definitely known to have more input delay when compared to other SNES games
Why did Sony succeed when Panasonic and Philips failed? What made devs and the market support the PlayStation more than the CD-i and 3DO?
The Sony brand meant something at that time.
Same reason people gave up records and cassettes for CDs.
>>3112793
sony knew what they were doing? they had just broke up with nintendo and people knew they were gonna really go for it?
Lets break this down shall we.
CD-I:
>shitty games
>shitty controller which was basically a remote control
>bulky console that weighed a metric butt ton and was larger than a refrigerator
>no original IPs
3DO:
>same shit as the CD-i; bulky console and no IPs
>gimmick ass live-action multiple choice "games" like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
Sony Playstation
>original IPs such as Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider
>Final Fantasy and JRPGS
>Conveniently sized console
>excellent controller for its time
>played music CDs
>did the whole "video games on CDs" thing right with 3d polygons and excellent sound
What's the deal with water levels?
They slow.
They're slow.
They're too blue.
Sand and seaweed are boring.
At least water levels are consistently awful.
Ice levels, on the other hand, are either really bad or really good. They're like a rollercoaster of bullshit.
Name a worse retro game.
(pro tip: you can't)
>>3123657
You're right, I can't.
Here you are.
>>3123657
Your favourite game is worse. Fuck, your favourite game is the worst piece of shit I have ever played and you should feel bad for liking it.
Is it reasonable to focus on small guns or do energy weapons make them obsolete late game? Also, besides lockpick and speech what other skills would you recommend investing in?
Small arms and melee are fine. Energy weapons are strong but come into play relatively late.
Sneak is pretty useful.
Repair and science are helpful but can be learned from books to some degree.
>>3123587
small guns is fine, you don't really need to tag it though. books should be good enough for it.
Outdoorsman is severely underrated
What are your thoughts on localizer and translator Jeremy Blaustein?
>>3123553
Well if if you're asking me how I liked how MGS was brought to the states I think it's fantastic. Maybe a little cheesy at times but the atmosphere was incredible and all the c haracters were pretty great. As a little kid I would call everyone on the codec over and over to hear all the interesting conversations. what else did he do op?
>>3123553
Well, if you really want to forge a fair opinion about that, you need to be able to read and compare with the original script. There has to be people who read Japanese here but not many, even less who would care enough to play and compare the game in both languages.
>>3123821
Apparently the script to Twin Snakes is a more direct translation.
Delicious but deadly.
This game is really too primitive to be enjoyable today desu.
>>3123304
Yeah really.
THROW BABY
why does japan have such perfect retro box art?
>>3123146
Because youre a weeb.
A simple black matte boxed PS logo in color in the corner, plus a physical spine sleeve is perfect.
>>3123146
When they sell stuff, they tend to tell the truth
Does anybody know where I can get an ISO or something of this game? I have searched for days with no luck.
>its called isabelle
>might be a pc game not %100 sure...
>>3122054
It's a PC game, and a French one at that, kinda reminds me of one of those walking simulators like myst.
Screens look pretty cool at least

I want to play another great Action RPG on the Super Nintendo (love Secret of Mana). The only two that come up are SD3 and Terranigma. The former has multiplayer which is a plus, but I am not sure which is the better of the two.
i loved SD3 growing up, havent played Terranigma.
I played sd3 countlessly, twice over zsnes netplay with a ton of restarting whenever me and my friend would de-sync. i'd say it's more fun solo honestly because MENUS SUCK. if you do play with a friend, try to limit it to one caster
>>3122016
Apples and oranges, both are worth playing for different reasons.
>>3122016
Terranigma has a bit more of an indepth combat system, where as SD3 is more button mashy and you know, very similar to SoM in terms of the wheel system.
I think they're both worth playing but they are vastly different.
If you want more "action" oriented, Terranigma is probably the way to go, since it's very much about attacking and dodging enemy attacks and you are quite mobile.
If you want the more JRPG style of SoM, SD3 is the way to go.
Just for your own notes, afaik SD3 only supports 2 player multiplayer although there may have been a patch.
did someone remember this game? it was a sequel of the amazing terranigma, guess all them are extremely underrated, i mean, this games are like the perfect fusion between the zelda mechanics and rpg addons.
>>3121871
>did someone remember this game
No, no one here has ever mentioned Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, or Terranigma, or even Actraiser or Actraiser 2, ever.
>>3121871
*Actually was a prequel
>>3121875
are you been irony? because i dont get it
There is this arcade game Lode Runner: the Dig Fight. It's pretty unknown, yet awesomely designed and is great for co-op or vs 2 player play. Also I remembered playing Lode Runner on NES as a child, but after I recently tried it, camera annoyed me a lot. To move the camera I had to come to the border so close that it barely gave me time to react to enemies. Wiki lists a lot of Lode Runner games for different platforms, which one is better and worth playing?
Just play the damn Apple II version on emulation.
Only played the gameboy one, I quite like it. No camera issue like you describe IIRC.
By the way how does the multiplayer vs work in Dig Fight?
