Okay... now what?
Is that A link to the past or what?
>>2829978
I remember that. Don't remember how I solved it though. Took a me a while if I remember correctly but that was over 9 years ago.
If you're looking for the flute it's north west of the tree stump just a few dig spots from where you're standing. In the corner of tthree or so trees there should be a patch of flowers there as well.
Hi, I have a quick question about buying this SCART PS1 cable off of this website:
https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/games-consoles/sony-playstation/sony-playstation-1-2-ps1-ps2-rgb-scart-cable-lead
What option should I select under "Sync" on the right hand column?
>>2829347
What'll it be feeding into? Some monitors or capture cards require a certain kind of sync.
>>2829347
Depends on what it will go into. SCART in itself is literally just a cable, a mode of transferring a signal from source to display device. Everything else will have to be made out between the two devices, if your monitor cannot display it because sync problems that is not the fault of the cable but your monitor being incompatible.
So check what your monitor wants, then choose accordingly.
Famicom MOTHERFUCKING FISHING GAME Tsurikichi Sanpei: Blue Marlin Hen has been fan translated into AMERICAN.

I have to admit I have no fucking clue what the game is about but I'm intrigued.
Also it has some cool art
I think it's based on a mango
>>2828203
>American
>He doesn't even know about the GOAT fishing mango and animu
Wew lad, might want to put that faggotry down and go read the manga and watch the anime.
>>2828210
How about I only read the mango you commie bastard. Animu is for nerds and fats
I'm sorry
Edge/Blade looked incredible for a PS1 game. Namco were fucking Wizards.
Sorry... for what?
early 3D fighting games are unplayable garbage
Post game covers
>>2826706
Looks like a hipster album more than a game
>>2826706
Posting the best game cover
>>2826893
What is a hipster album?
Were you a 'first time game player' like the box says? did you start gaming with an NES top-loader?
>>2825885
Ended up getting that after my original NES died.
>>2825885
I don't understand why the new design was for the first time game player. And no, I started on a toaster. Actually, I can't remember if I played the NES or the Atari (5200,I think) first.
>>2825885
Top-down design is what the original should have been. There would have been less breakdowns overall.
Who else loved this game despite it's flaws?
It was short, and a significant portion of it is backtracking, but it was still totally fun.
It had great music and atmosphere.
The battles, while simplisitc, still had variety and many tactical options, some of which were environmental (mostly boss battles).
For a 90's survival horror/rpg, it had a great inventory system, and managed to have "leveling up" in a fashion.
Tank controls and fixed camera angles, but it was worth it for the better graphics/scenery, almost all of which had unique observations if you hit "action" while facing.
Plenty of secrets and (admittedly arbitrary) puzzles, most of which were optional.
Several parts of the game require you to use abstract thinking and have good problem-solving skills, as well as requiring you to pay attention to the environment and explore.
All around just a very detailed, fun, well-balanced game that seemed low budget.
>ugly character models
>Aya would rather face giant horrible monsters than jump over a counter (rude)
>nonsensical plot moments (woman screaming? better ask permission to use a wrench to undo part of a wall to save her, rather than breaking down a door. Yes, I am a cop, why do you ask?)
>have a drink of refreshing coca-cola!
>fucking weird ass ugly monsters, like bowl-cut man-faced pumas and exploding mosquito-hybrid babies with bane masks
>hope you made a very specific and unknowable series of actions throughout the entire game, or you'll miss the only decent ending, which you won't know exists unless you get it
I beat the game several times, only just got the good ending about a year or two ago (I never looked at guides). I have the harder playthrough waiting for me; I'll get to it someday.
Great game.
>>2823779
I loved it too, also beat it several times like you.
It just had a particular atmosphere I couldn't really find in other survival games. Great OST too iirc.
>>2823779
>>2823805
I should also add that it's always pissed me off how whenever PE2 is brought up, people jump at your throat to talk about how PE1 is better, blah blah blah. Fuck these people, I'm not even arguing whether it's correct or not as it should be irrelevant, it's as if it's near impossible to discuss that game for what it was on its own without having to compare it to its prequel.
I never could beat it, despite PE1 being one of my favorite games. I made it to theSpeaker/scream bossonly to find out I had nowhere near enough ammo to defeat it. Very disheartening. I might give it a shot if I buy thisbackwards compatible PS3 fatfor Christmas.
I started it up some time ago, but didn't get very far.
Gonna play it again right now, commenting about it along the way.
Also, gonna make a screenshot map along with it. You know, for fun.
What are your opinions about this game?
No spoilers.
So, Were a guy that got tired of everyone shitting on him, so he got a huge amount of cash by some illegal means, probably robbery.
Its night and hes preparing to leave his cheap motel(?) room and disappear onto some tropical beach.
He grabs his mothers pedant, which shocks him with some magical shit, and drops unconscious on the floor.
He turns into the roach, either for real or just in his mind/dream, not sure which at the moment.
After some crawling throu pipe and floor, I got to the stove and some other roach in poetry explained to me that vacuum cleaner is up to no good.
Lots of deadly obstacles.
Anti-insect chalk, roach poison, fly tape, rat in a rattrap with an inch of life remaining that still can eat you.
And a spider that will jump at you if you want to go further.
5 lives total, and I have to turn this still burning cigarette butt to burn him when he jumps for me.
Such is roach life.
Are you on board with the current meme of "old sonics were always bad, you just thought otherwise at the time"? it's just people jumping on the bandwagon or there's any truth to this?
>baseless post-ironic millennial opinions
>truth
you tell me OP
The only thing I hate about the genesis games is the lack of roll jumping.
I've played the Sonic games at many different stages of my life, and they're always fun. I'm assuming that meme is coming from the same underage b& who complain about people abbreviating the original playstation as PSX.
Box art. Bart.
>>2814892
Was the Thief cutscene art done by the same people as the hexen boxart? seems really similar
That painting has been around for a long time, long before it was used as the cover for that game. It's called Heavy Metal Hero. A friend of mine has a poster of it on his wall.
What's wrong with Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie?
Kazooie was perfect. Tooie's proble was backtracking which served no purpose other than to pad out the game.
>>2814128
Tooie's problem was it was unfinished because Rare can't meet a fucking deadline.
Instead it's unpolished to hell, lacks content and has weak shortcuts and padding where BK while rough was very well thought out and full of charm that Tooie almost had.
Tooie prioritized minigames way too much, and some of the levels are a chore to navigate.
Kazooie is great.
been surfing through Abandonia and trying out some old DOS games
a few I've played before out of nostalgia but I've also found a ton I've never seen that are great so far
really recommend for all of you looking for some great lesser known stuff
also posting recommendations as I try out new games.
http://www.abandonia.com/
Right now I'm playing this game called "Wolf"
its a pretty in depth simulator game where you control a single Wolf through its life, the ultimate "goal" is to mate and become Alpha of a pack but its really open otherwise and all up to your actions
mating is really hardjust like real life ;_;
something else I've tried before, for all you Good Goyim out there, is Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator.
more of a grand-strat game than a sim game but you play as the PM of Israel and basically have to manage your situation/work things to your advantage in the turbulent middle east, as well as making the filthy goyim bend to your iron will.
After playing Wolf a bit I'm either going to try Deus or Albion
Albion is an RPG really open, solid story and a lot of options, graphics look great as well.both 1st person mode and 2D overhead mode.
Deus I've never played before but is basically an open survival oriented RPG. the survival mode is really hardcore but otherwise its incredibly interactive. Graphics are early 3D and look pretty dated.
Is there a way to play this gem on modern machines? Tried virtual machine with XP, but the screen doesn't stretch at all. Compatibility modes, run as administrator, but no success.
>>2832838
I just got it to run on Linux with Wine. The only issue is that the main menu is completely black, but it's not hard to navigate if you know it's structure already or watch someone else start a game. Once you are playing, it runs flawlessly.
create a .bat that ends explorer.exe before running diablo. then whenever you're done just hit anykey on the command prompt window left open and it'll relaunch explorer.
googlefu will find said .bat script
source: did it myself and 3 others for a lan party
>>2832845
@echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
diablo.exe
pause
start explorer.exe
exit
There's no way to save both Otacon and Meryl, is there?
How the hell are they both alive in later games?
>>2831853
Otacon doesn't die if Meryl survives. Otacon survives either way. The difference between the two endings is either Meryl dies or Meryl doesnt die. That's it.
doesn't otacon have some codec messages close to finish?
>>2831857
Meryl a shit.
Hitler could have won the war if only he had Wanzers.
the russians would have just shot them with small arms fire when they had low hp and stolen them
>>2831242
I always hated how stupid that punching weapon looked.
