Since most of the good rts games are now retro I thought I'd start the thread here.

Some examples starcraft, warcraft ii, dune 2000, age of empires and more.

In your opinion what is the best RPG you have played?

Mars Matrix, you collect cubes to use as currency and there is an exp system.

I'm usually not big on RPGs, but I'd have to say Planescape Torment and Deus Ex. If you count Star Control 2 as an rpg then that's in there too. I'm hoping to get into the Ultima series some time. Maybe play Teranigma as well.

I really liked Vagrant Story.

Great setting, great combat, cool box puzzles, interesting weapon crafting / combining system. Cool story, great music. Awesome locations and ambiance.

Sounds like you've already made up your mind.

Do you want people to validate your decision or convince you that you're an idiot for buying one?

I really don't get these threads, is it just me?

What is wrong with asking if a dubious piece of chinese crap is worth it?
>>
>>2997325
i had a gp32 back when. modern phones with a controller can do better and have more functinality. every china device I've seen/used always has some sort of serious drawback

Just discovered this game yesterday, and I'm having a hard time putting it down. Anyone else out there love this game?

Yeah, it's pretty good. That box art on the other hand, is hideous.

You might want to play dragon quest 3 too after that.

Is it even worth buying a legitimate Earthbound copy, or should I just buy a reproduction?

You could spend $200 or you can spend $20.

>>2996462

Emulate or get the Wii U release...if you are one of 10 people who have one.
>>
>>2996462
That is solely up to you, isn't it?

I think there's a decent chance that Earthbound carts haven't hit their max price, if that makes a difference.

Judging it purely as a website , I think it's rather mediocre. Navigating the side is annoying.

I like the content though.

No. It's corrupt as fuck and their "opinions" are objectively false. They're literal faggots.

Filters were cool when emulating was still in its infancy. Now they are just eyesores.

>realize it's not the 90s anymore and I don't have to put up with this
>play a better game

I WISH I could get back into UO. I got pretty far a few years back and I still have the account. But holy shit, no fucking thank you to that approach to end game where tamers are much better money makers but taming requires you to play the game like its a job for 8 hours a day.

IDOCING has always been the superior money maker. By 1000x. and requires 0 skill training.

If you weren't a pleb you'd know this.

>requires 0 skill training
maybe if you have young status and you can avoid getting stomped by the 3 other guilds camping it.
>>
>>2995601
Didn't tskr me that long to hit gm taking on uof. Though its boring as fuck to train and play as anyway. A bard archer can be trained in like 10h and can cash in just as much gold and are a lot more fun.

Turns out I had already completed that one too.

Zelda is hard, guys.

Been playing through Link's Awakening over the past couple of days. I realize now why I loved it so much as a kid. It literally holds your hand most of the way... except for the fucking trading quest...

Would it be possible to get a computer from the mid-late 90s that could play games all the way from that point in time backwards to the earliest computer games, with little to no emulation involved?

I think I'd actually like to, as a hobby, have an old-ass PC and play old Windows and DOS games without having to emulate DOS or run anything in compatibility mode.

Is this doable? How cheaply could it be done? Do you think the novelty would wear off quickly or could it be a genuinely rewarding hobby?

uh, yes. People do it all the time. search youtube for "win98 build"

>>2995437
Cool. Thanks. I have about $100 to throw around, so I guess I can get cracking next weekend.
>>
>>2995353
no, it is impossible. trying to use old computers is against nature and the sweaty astral projection of Steve Ballmer will haunt you screaming "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" if you even try.
