Did this age poorly? I read a review of Live & Reloaded that said all the jokes it makes about stuff like The Matrix are outdated and unfunny nowadays.Also is there any Conker lewd out there?
>>3060137
All the Rare platformers are just really tedious and boring because all it is is collecting for the sake of collecting.
>>3060147
How would you correct it, considering Banjo-Kazooie uses Jiggies to unlock new worlds.Jak & Daxter is dull.
>>3060137
Opinions, I remember disliking most of the jokes back in 2005 when I first emulated it. But the multiplayer was nice.
So, if I use a japanese or american Mario 64 cart on a pal N64 with N64 Passport III and a pal N64 cart to act as unlocker and play it on a pal TV, will I be finally able to play the game at the right freaking framerate?
>>3059793
I don't think so. IIRC the framerate is limited by the hardware, not the cart itself.
>>3061510
Dingo.
Nope, pal games are always 50hz.
This game any good?
Depends. Why do you ask?
>>3058885
Got a Saturn recently, and I already have VF2 and FV on the 360, so I was wondering if this was any good. I liked VF2 a lot, but FV was just okay to me.
>>3058876
It's good, I was playing it last night. It's a little slow and the physics can be floaty, but the combat is still top notch.
I prefer Virtua Fighter 2, but I like it a lot better than Fighting Vipers. Fighting Vipers didn't get good until 2, in my opinion.
Question for oldfags: how did gamers view the "interactive FMV" games that seemed to be hot shit in the early 90s? I am only 24, so by the time I could actually follow games I was well into the PS1/N64 era which was a little after the FMV heyday. Did you guys think these were awesome at the time, decent, or shitty?
Might seem like a pointless question, but I like understanding how things were perceived in their own time period as opposed to decades later.
I don't think most had access to them because a lot were relegated to CD devices. I don't think I ever saw a Dragons Lair machine either. Though yeah, it seemed awesome and I did want to play Dragons Lair.
Reviewer-wise, it all depended on how much gameplay there was.
IIRC Braindead 13 got a 25% or something rating in the german magazine PC Games but the reviewer said that if you only judge the cartoon alone it'd be more around 80%.
Personally, I couldn't stand most of them with the exceptions being those that featured some decent integration of the FMVs into the gameplay like Creature Shock or games that had them only as cutscenes like Lost Eden.
would a game like kings quest 7 be considered FMV?
Can someone explain the appeal of beat-em-ups like Turtles in Time and Streets of Rage?
I've never "got" this genre. They look like really repetitive simple versions of "real" fighting games like Street Fighter 2. They're awful to play single player, because enemies surround you, so your only move becomes jump-kicking from one side of the screen to the other. There are usually like 3 or 4 different enemy sprites and all other "variety" comes from palette swaps, which is low-tier laziness.
I can play these games and finish them fine, but I don't get why anyone would want to.
explain the appeal of running around with your homies kicking the shit out of people while picking up weapons and shit and hearing bad ass music while you do so and get into boss fights... hm....
what?
>confirmed for no friends and playing beat em ups alone
And here come the finest shitposters on the board.

your opinion on "The Dead Pool" stage
Has far the worst music in MK2, even though it's okay.
Most of MK2's OST is fucking great though.
>>3058183
pretty cool
>>3058183
Love it, many memories, crazy nostalgia. I actually love its theme. MK2 is golden.
What are your favorite /vr/ shoot 'em ups?
Anything without pedophilia please.
Ikaruga
I bought this Recca Summer Carnival game on my 3ds because I heard it was the best NES shmup, but I just don't get it. Is it just the graphics that made it popular?
Did you guys buy it?
>>3057473
>eShop
>paying for emulation
>giving money to post-fifth gen Nintendo ever
lol, no
Yeah. Difference between this and just playing my original cart is that now all my friends are playing version and are able to trade.
If it didn't have multiplayer, I wouldn't have bothered. I can play my original carts with no friends to link with any time I want.
Yep, I can play with buddies all over.
What else should I do /vr/?
super mario obviously

FIRST FORzionism
inb4 this thread gets deleted
Just started playing GTA and GTA London on the PS1 after many years from the last time.
I like how they got rid of some bugs in GTAL and made it a better game than the original, but the missions are way too easy and the police is rarely seen on the screen even with "4 cops" wanted level.
Retro GTA is ass, the series didn't get good till 3 and started getting awesome when vice city got released.
>>3057013
GTA was the absolute shit when it came out, you would agree with me but something tells me you were still learning to crawl when GTA 1 was released.
>>3057013
Why are you even on /vr/?
Hey OGs tell me what you think of this archive
What don't deserve to be there - what does but ain't?
http://ia801800.us.archive.org/zipview.php?zip=/30/items/eXoDOSRPG.v1.6/eXoDOSRPG.v1.6.zip
They all deserve to be there ya cunt. It's a very complete collection. Now go play Stonekeep.
>>3056572
Done.
Follow up question. Why the fuck is Nemesis: The Wizardry Adventure fucking 3.42 gigabytes in 1996. Literally what the fuck.
1.6 is outdated, there should be at least 2.0.
The only stuff that shouldn't be on the list are things that aren't RPGs. It should be a complete set as possible.
God of Thunder strikes me as an action puzzle without RPG aspects.
It's important to keep in mind that IBM ports aren't always the best version. Particularly during the 80s they were outclassed by Amigas and the like.
I final got this with sonic pocket adventures, i found my true love
still waiting for some other games but im really happy with this
>>3056447
cool
hows the control pad?
Can anyone direct me to a complete list of USA Saturn releases? Everything I look at is fucked up even the damn app I got had Zoop listed I spent three hours looking for it until I realized it was pal/jap
Also brief Saturn question
Has anyone played the port of the pc game "Z" on Saturn?
Also can the net link mouse be used with command and conquer and Warcraft? Thanks
>>3056242
I came here to laugh at you. This took me all of ten seconds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sega_Saturn_games
Sort it by region.
>>3056257
Fuck you that thing sucks
>>3056242
>USA Saturn
Yeah have fun with that
