Let's settle this debacle once and for all. Which is the greater retro horror-themed platformer series: Castlevania or Ghosts & Goblins?
Also, what do you think is the best GNG and CV game ever?
GnG
>best CV ever
Oh no, not again
Both are high quality series, but Castlevania has a lot more titles and a bit more variety, so i go with CV.
As for best titles, for me:
GnG: Ghouls 'n Ghosts
CV: 3 or Rondo of Blood.
What does /vr/ think of reproduction carts?
Thinking about picking up a few of the games that never made it overseas like pic related and was wondering what your take on it was.
Waste of money if they cost anything more than 5 or 6 bucks.
>>3111315
flashcart you can print your own art if you want too.
>>3111315
Get a few of your favorites if you want but realistically it's not worth the money. If you want like 3-5 you're better off just buying a flash cart.
If you make them yourself and buy supplies in bulk you can get cost down to around 20-25 bucks, but if you're getting someone else to do it it's usually around 35+, scalpers usually put them on eBay for 50+.
Technically you can't sell them on eBay, I'm wondering if anyone's actually bought something on eBay and then gotten it refunded as "counterfeit/bootleg" merchandise. I know you can but I've never really seen documented proof of it.
Your opinion on Tower of Druaga?
Everyone is evil: the series.
Also damn if you didn't need a guide for this.
>>3110991
ISHTAR AND KI ARE EVIL?
B-but I thought she'd be with Gil forever like a happy OTP
>>3110936
Tower is so fucking hard it's ridiculous. Even Wizardry IV can be slowly, methodically progressed through by a single person with no outside help given enough focus and organization. I firmly believe no single person could untangle ToD in a lifetime unaided.
What does /vr/ think of Tokimeki Memorial/Mitsumete Knight?
Tokimemo's pretty neat, don't know much about Mitsumete Knight.

It's fucking SPARKSTER.lol
You just reminded me I should buy them for the ps1.
That you aren't good at
I have yet to find a game that gives me such a sense of speed as After Burner II does, but I am complete dogshit at it.
>>3110731
I'm not too good at it either, but try to dodge vertically more than horizontally, and use the throttle to escape when missiles close in.
Favorite Rampage game?
World Tour is the only one I bothered playing.
World Tour
>>3110340
Always wanted to play these games as a kid but never got the chance to. That thread reminded me of but Wikipedia is a bitch so I'm not sure of which versions I should get.
So far from what I understood, I should play :
Rampage (1986) - NES version (?)
Rampage World Tour (1997) - PS/N64... or GameBoy Color?
Rampage 2: Universal Tour (1999) - Same question here.
Rampage Through Time (2000) - PS
I don't think I can emulate PS or N64 games with my computer so I'll forget about those. Wasn't there a remake onGBA?
I like it.
Its a nice handheld.
>>3110291
It sure is.
best handheld
I always wanted one, but mummy wouldn't buy it for me.
Does anyone actually own a copy of this? I've never seen this for sale anywhere online nor have I seen a picture of a non-scanned box or disc.

>Yes it is that expensive
There are some later, English versions that it looks like you could probably get for under $50 of you know how to really stalk ebay. If you're interested in it you probably should get one while you can.
>>3110074
I hear this game's mighty fucked up.
>>3110418
It's boring as shit but in that extremely Japanese way that certain people eat up and 4chan is basically that type of person's type of site
What is the best Castlevania and why is it Symphony of the Night?
>>3108780
Because you never liked Castlevania to begin with.
>>3108790
Yeah I did.
Where were you when you realised these threads are just console wars in disguise?
So I just got back from helping my parents move. Found something interesting buried in the garage.
Well, step 1 is to find a way to get that thing cleaned properly. Looks like it might be a job for the dry cleaners.

>>3108772
The bags are toast. I can only hope the contents are okay.
If Scanlines were meant to be part of the visual display of the game, why was pixel art displayed on cartridges without scanlines?
>>3108543
Furthermore, if developers created their games with scanlines IN MIND, then why does it seem as if clear pixels are the intent and that scanlines on TVs are just noise/interference over the intended image?
>>3108547
Furthermore, did the Genesis do this to their games on purpose? Was it an artistic style?
>>3108554
Simple lack of colors.
I've done a lot of thinking on this topic, and I'm starting to realize that Atari and Sega killed one another.
In a vain attempt to capture the "32 bit market," Atari was threatened by the Sega Saturn, or by Sega in general, and Sega was worried about the Jaguar, stupidly enough. Maybe wise, in this case, though.
Both companies rushed into production their 32 bit consoles, as upgrades to their previous generation 16-bit or whatever bit consoles. The 7800 and Genesis in these cases.
They were the Atari Panther and the Sega Neptune.
Atari foolishly devoted too many resources to the Panther and then simply cancelled it for the Jaguar, while Sega went ahead and fucked over their Neptune to produce a shitty addon that fucked over Sega's perception, made worse by the Saturn being piece of shit.
Both console manufacturers insured one another's demise in the hardware industry in one way or another because of their failed 32 bit excursions.
If both companies had simply let their 32 bit machines cook, and released them both, and gave their proper 32 bit/64 bit consoles more time to develop, we could've had much stronger proper consoles from Sega and Atari and the Jaguar and the Saturn could have been much more powerful and a much more worthwhile investment.
Instead both were horrifying to program for and used mutilated dual processors that couldn't be harnessed.
>>3108412
You're an idiot. PlayStation was the big bogeyman of that time. Sega and Atari didn't give two shits about each other. Look up exec interviews and try to find then even mention one another.
Jaguar was never a contender, Atari was a forgotten company by the time. If they had the Panther so they don't end up missing the 16bit era, then it might have survived a bit longer, but I doubt it.
Saturn could've lived fine, its problem was that the company managing it was completely retarded. The surprise launch alone was a gigantic blow, and then they gave the machine stupid marketing, and stopped releasing games on it after two years.
If it had a proper launch and the marketing wasn't so stupid, then it could've been a close second to the Playstation and easily survive until 2000. Even in Japan it could've done so - they launched the Dreamcast too early and pissed off many devs with that too.
>>3109210
Not OP and while you're right, it was Sony that delivered the deathblow, OP is correct in that Sega at least lost a lot of momentum and probably money too on 32x. Where I think he's probably wrong is to believe there was direct competition from Atari. Atari had been fucking up for a long time before that and if Sega was even aware of Jaguar they probably would have seen it as a warning since Atari had long proven to be foolish with their console designs.
Which furry platformer has the most autistic fanbase of all time?

SM64 no A presses when?
>>3108034
That video was so fucking autistic. Do people unironically buy into that half-A bullshit?
>>3108042
it's just another way of pointing out that you had the button depressed when you started the level without having to call it "having the button depressed at the start of the level a-presses"
>>3108042
It's actually a simple internet phenomenon, but first let's talk about para-lel universes
I'm playing Phantasy Star in Retroarch and the cheats are not working. I noticed this happening in some SMS games. I never have problems with NES games. Does anybody what the issue here might be?
