The last one got destroyed by shitposting. Let's try this again.
Now you're just asking for it.

Well, that cover art looks more modern than I'd expect for 1988.
>>3080240
>looks more modern
What the hell does that even mean? It looks exactly like the kind of thing you would see on the cover of a 70's or 80's fantasy novel. Do you even stop to think before you open your stupid fucking mouth, you clueless retard?
Anyone remember the old 1898 War Of The Worlds game?

ofcourse, we're all in our 60s
Played the PC RTS when I was a kid. Gave me the willies and, because I'll eternally suck at that genre, kicked the shit out of me.
Heard there was a console version that was an actiony shooter or something, but I never saw it.

looks cool
What was the Sega equivalent to Nintendo Power? Did they have a magazine like it for the master system or the genesis? Also do you guys still read these magazines and use them for games?
I read through all of the issues of Sega Visions a couple of months ago. It was insane seeing them cover Master System, Genesis, Saturn, Game Gear, CD, 32X, and Pico in one of the later issues. Pic related is a from one of the first issues. Both are great games.
The sega equivalent of Nintendo Power was Nintendo Power, because sega kids would read it wishing they had the better system than what their parents bought them by mistake.

Sega Visions, if you filled out the little card and sent it in they gave you a subscription for free

Mario was way more popular than Zelda in Japan, and Zelda 2 takes a lot from both Mario and Dragon Quest. Is it possible that Zelda 2 was an early attempt at making the series more popular with Japanese players?
>>3079248
I feel like it was an attempt to explore a completely new avenue of RPGs.
As to not to make the same game over again with slight differences, a la jp-Mario-2 at the time.
It borrows a LOT from Dragon Slayer though.

Any Canadians here? Never played this before. Would it be fun to play with some friends over joking about the old map and the cities and stuff?
I fucking loved this shit in elementary school
>>3079230
Same. Remember this shit? Or Math Circus?
>>3079212
not educational game but another great cross-country game is The Great American Cross-Country Road Race, a solid OutRun clone from Activision. It adds some interesting extra stuff to the mix, such as needing to refuel, weather conditions affecting the road, and avoiding police speed traps.

Is it worth going the extra mile to use a proper PC in a cabinet or is there no reason not to use a Pi setup?
I dunno, power consumption and boot time are the biggest deal breakers.
But I personally absolutely hate the boot screen of any computer. I'd much rather push power on and get the game loaded instantly. No "welcome to fucking windows" or raspberry pi matrix screen or retro pie menu or lakka gui.
The Pi can only do so much. Going beyond the 4th generation will bring you troubles. A PC is way more expensive but you'll really have no limits on what you can emulate.
Yes. Yes, it is worth going the extra mile of finding a slim used PC or a laptop for a MAME cabinet over using a Raspberry Pi. You are fucking retarded to even need to ask that question. The only reason I ca/n imagine is that you plan to do other retarded things like use a USB joystick and a composite display but the PC

You deserve to be raped and killed.
You're a bad person, OP, and also sound like an immature manchild.
That said I heard Neopets pretty much died recently because their new owners lost the data for their most popular games. Feels bad man.
An underrated masterpiece that will become cool to like once N64 emulators can run it without crashing at the end of every level.

The proof of burden is on the claimer.
State your case, or GTFO.

Good music, but Simon's Quest is better.
I miss going to conventions and hamfests. And seeing The guy. you know the one. The guy who sold floppy disks of shareware for $5 a disk. and he'd have whole walls with little disk-racks loaded with copies of all the hits.
And, you know. He'd have boxes of cracked registered games, but those would be kept under the table and cost $7 a piece.
Those days are gone, but not forgotten.
>>3076024
you paid for cracked disks? sucker. even the pirates warned against that. all you had to do was give your contact blank disks. no charge
>>3076024
4 years ago I bought 15,000 floppy disks from the last batch made in the UK before they stopped being produced. I really wanted to do a sort of at-cost piracy ring for Amiga games over the internet, but my modest attempts at getting it off the ground failed.
I ended up giving them all away to a local retro games group last year.
>>3076162
You're doing God's work, son.
I enjoy that I can keep games. Even a modern FPS on a single floppy disk. Since I do a lot of work with older tech, it's nice having the options available.
Pictured: A Steam banner I made for this game that is larger than the game itself.
So yeah, title pretty much says it all, MSX looks like an interesting system worth checking out, but most if not all of the games seem to be from the (Japan) region, so I'm guessing lots of them will be inaccessible to english only speaking people.
Is there some sort of "recommended" list of MSX games worth checking out that are english friendly? I know there are a few already fan-translated ones, but besides those really.
>>3075647
Penguin Adventure.
>>3075647
The MSX was released in Europe and got many games in English over there, but most were just ports of ZX Spectrum games.

Which background graphic did you like the most?
Left one. The statue looks better and there's a bonus tree.
>>3074553
fuck trees
>>3074547
Right one. The statue looks more like a real bronze Buddha statue and you can see more of the background buildings.
