Because they went with Earthworm Jim, instead of featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series.

Three words sum it all up
Blob's chip damage

>>3087438
Because it's a haphazard mishmash of Killer Instinct 2, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter III with a ton of gameplay and balance issues. Sculptor's Cut has similar issues minus 63 1/3's sloppy imitation of KI2's combo system.

Chip damage doesn't mean much when you can cancel blockstun with an attack. Moves with invincible startup, command grabs, and well-timed light punches/kicks can easily stuff block strings. Also, chip damage can't kill.

ITT: Meme levels in retro games that underage b& think are hard because an e-celeb told them so

This doesn't trigger /vr/ since it is trivial with save states.

Genesis sucked.

>>3086780
I felt it appealed to teens and young adults. The games were generally more difficult than Nintendo games and ads were made bragging about this. I used to hate on the Genesis but I prefer it over SNES these days. The games for it have a lot of depth in that most have a higher skill-cap.

>>3086780
Genesis does what Nintendon't

Also, AOF is a classic for anybody who knows fighters, which is rare on this board of seemingly mostly Americans. It's not the greatest game but it is a classic and an important piece of SNK history

1 and 2 by a long shot. The 3&K jingle has seriously overstayed it's welcome. I'm surprised they didn't even use 1/2 in Generations.

Sonic 1/2 sounds the best but Sonic 3 is the catchiest.

>>3084252
3&K is the best

pretty sure they picked stupid kids to be on these shows.

I can sort of understand having some nerves because of an audience or camera but for fuck's sake

>>3091892
this

they screened them beforehand

>>3091754
No, it's not worth it. If you do decide to buy one you'll just convince yourself that it's better than not having one and that it was completely worth the $300+ you spent on it. At that price, who wouldn't?

Dude just get a small like 13 inch crt. You can find them for like nothing and I personally prefer them to big crt's. The picture quality looks nice when its not all stretched out.

>>3091754
If you consider scanline effect a must-have it's for you. Otherwise cheaper alternatives might work.
Although you'll have to make sure whatever you get can handle 240p correctly, so you don't get the dreaded window shades effect on every-other field flicker and stuff like that from attempts to deinterlace a progressive picture.

I am also looking for something a little obscure, not the obvious Super Metroid and So on

>>3091615
no

SNES emulation on PSP is notoriously bad, save for a bunch of people who say it's perfect for them and never offer any proof. Those claims alone led me to believe it would be better than it is, but it's not.

So yeah, you might want to look at another console to emulate.

Framerate.

>>3091564
Yeah I never noticed as a teen. Played it again more recently and couldn't deal with it.

>>3091564
>>3091569

I guess I'm just one of those people who isn't bothered by a low framerate. The game has so much charm that any flaws are easily ignorable. It's on par with Uniracers in my mind.

Because the 240p RGB output is lossless. Do you have a 1chip?

RGB is indeed lossless and awesome.

The cheap scalers are very good at either 480i signals (with motion), Or STATIC 240p.
The problem with the cheap scalers is they treat everything they receive as 480i and needlessly try to de-interlace 240p content.

They universally suck for Video games of any type because of added lag.

The easy way to get your head around why they exist, but why they simultaneously suck for video games is this: remember that were designed for DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receives, and VCRs. All of these are normal 480i/576i and video-based content where a few frames of lag is easily ignored.

Only the Micomsoft XRGB range of scalers were designed with video games in mind.

The other reason why you are so surprised that RGB is so awesome is because you are probably not a European.
Outside of Europe: RGB was very rare, YPbPr was non-existent in those days, and S-Video was only high-end TVs in non-RGB nations. Also, S-Video cables were never included in the box, so were therefore rare because most people would go out and buy them.

Hell, most cheap TVs in 1991 had RF only in many parts of the world.

Are you underage or something?
Rage at a game?
Are you autistic or you trying to be like your youtubers?
You do realize that youtubes have palpable autism and if you haven't noticed so far you are stupid fuck ans should reevaluate your opinions.

The whole game is a secret noone I know has played it and I love it. Anyway I remember there being a secret earthworm Jim room somewhere in the game.

Don't wanna be >that guy but you should really stick to the pc port, the ps1 version has pretty bad framerate. I recall something written on a wall texture you could only see with the sniper rifle but I'm too lazy to look it up.
