Thoughts?
shitty controls. overly difficult. decent graphics.

>no simulation stages

A good and challenging platformer, with the boring parts from Actraiser 1 removed.
There was a time... Basically, there was a time in that they had over extended themselves.
There was a time, prior to Dreamcast, just prior to Dreamcast really... As Saturn was coming out...
Where Sega had the Saturn in some parts of the world, they were still selling the Master System, they had Sega Pico, 32X, Genesis, Game Gear, Sega CD, Nomad... That's 8 systems concurrently.
They really fucked themselves into a rut. The Saturn launch was fucked in North America.
So maybe the 32X didn't kill Sega. It was the Saturn.
Not the first time you've made a similar thread OP. Why are you so hung up on Sega's death? It happened, it's done, you need to move on and stop obsessing about this.
Oh, here's the Nintenretard going at it again.
Yes OP, SEGA stopped making consoles after the Dreamcast. This is fact.
Thanks.
Can we get a thread about good games to play in the dark? Also, games that scared the shit out of you as a kid general.

Doom

>>2845319
Weren't those the ones that just sound like elephants that stepped on their own dicks?
>suda teases ds release
>it never happens
>no fan translations in sight
>can't into japanese
It's not fair.
If you're so desperate, how much are you willing to pay?
Why can't you into Japanese?
I really wanna play those Japanese summer games.
>>2842125
The one for the PC-88 is in English. But you're probably better off playing the Amiga or whatever version anyway. If you really want to play those games in the first place.
Can we have a /vr/ humor thread?

Let them have their fun. I just don't visit it.

Are there any retro games you like to speedrun, /vr/?
I used to speedrun pepsiman, my record was around 19 minutes I think.
>>2858146
MMX
>>2858146
In my youth i used to speed run Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. I never focused on item collection but just best completion time. As soon as i would beat them i would just hit new game and run again,
Post games that you thought had an ugly or very wierd art style but that you actually enjoyed playing
I will start with Comander Keen, a decent PC platformer but with a horrible color palette.
>>2858121
>ugly visual style
Most Genesis games, like Strider. I know the system has less colors than the SNES, but even games on the NES/SMS managed to look good. Hell, Beyond Oasis is a beautiful game. With it's bright cartoony art-style, it kinda was Wind Waker way before Wind Waker. But most Genesis games still managed to look like shit. Rather sad actually.
>>2858187
I think its not really a matter of how many colors are available but how you use the color palette
Kolibri and Ranger-X looked amazing on the MegaDrive, although to be fair Kolibri is using 32X
>>2858121
I don't find 8-bit Castlevanias to be very visually appealing (mostly trying to depict atosphere that they just didn't have the colour to depict), though I think the games are fantastic. I guess I'd agree with your assessment of Commander Keen's choice of colours too.
This game has very plesant music. Anyone disagree?
I guess Zelda II general thread
>>2857309
Nice music, but I really only love the Temple themes. The game isn't that bad, you can grind if you feel like it, and the combat is fun. Just don't avoid encounters
>>2857396
OP here, pretty much feel the exact same way. It's actually my second favorite NES game.
It's my favorite zelda for that reason

I keep hearing about this game...what is so great about it? I am a fan of jrpgs, yet I feel a bit burnt out on the genre, will this be a breath of fresh air?
Retro JRPG general
>>2856380
Engaging combat, fantastic art design, great music, great visualsfor Saturn, and your riding a badass flying Dragon that can morph into different dragons. Can't go wrong with that.
Worth playing? Absolutely. Worth paying $200+ for it? No.
>>2856391
Does it emulate well?
>>2856392
Not sure about emulating. Never tried. Haven't heard great things about Saturn emulators tho. Heard the jap version is a lot cheaper if you can read moon or just don't care about knowing the story.
I grew up in the great cd wars of the early 90s, i am hugely fascination by FMV, night Trap is one of my favorites and i thought was really interesting.
can we have a discussion about such a unique genre.
i played this at the arcade
i love seeing amazing actors in these games
use handcuffs on Scully

John Romero just shared a video of the PC version of Mario 3. iD software made it in 1990 and presented it to Nintendo (who rejected it). They went on to make Commander Keen instead.
So this was right after the "Dangerous Dave In Copyright Infringement" demo, right?
>>2854636
>iD software made it in 1990 and presented it to Nintendo (who rejected it).
I don't blame them. The flight mechanics are completely off.
Does anyone else miss these?
I still have some PS1 games that included bonus / demo discs. Too bad that practice died sometime around the sixth generation.
>tfw your Pizza Hut order will never again come bundled with free vidya
>>2852613
Totally. The most nostalgic being the RE2 demo.

>>2852613
Demo discs were great when your poor and the only time you picked up new games were birthdays or at Christmas.
Anyone else play these as a kid?
>>2852389
I played that one, it was kinda crap. The Dr. Brain series from Sierra was much better.
