Is anyone ever going to finish translating this?
This would be one English translated reproduction I'd actually buy.
>>3319537
>anyone wanna translate this game on a console that sucks complete ass whose successor is only marginally better?
nah
>>3319547
If I recall they were translating it, but it stalled.
>>3319537
Metroid? We already got a version released in the US that was translated. It's called "Metroid"
Back in the golden age of gaming, were you mostly a console gamer or a computer gamer?
>>3319151
Smartphone gamer.
>>3319151
console. Just didnt like the keyboard mouse
>>3319151
Both. Console games were for when Mom and Dad needed to work, and PC games were for when they wanted to use the TV.
Eventually my parents got a nice office computer for themselves and let us have "the family computer," which we were free to mess around with, although we still had a lot of console games. Having multiple ways in which we could play games was especially important in a house with multiple kids since we didn't have to fight each other as much for a turn (though we still did have occasional spats about who was spending too much time on one particular machine).
These days TVs are so cheap that even a lot of average families can afford to stash one in every room. I feel like having to learn to share everything built character, though.
Why is the Net Yaroze so expensive? I mean, I can understand why:
>black Playstation
>dev kits
>demo discs
>online sharing of demo discs
>no continent restrictions, play US/Australian/European games on your Japanese console!
But I didn't think it'd be this expensive, not passing $1,300, at least, and this is the cheapest one.

You're better off getting a PSIO or a modchip at this point.
Is there any reason to buy an original Atari 2600?
My friend does RGB modding for the system, and it looks damn good. It's made me want one. But looking at it's library of games, they just don't seem like they are actually worth playing more than once or twice for a little bit of time.
There are a lot of fantastic games on Atari depending on your taste. Some interesting ports have been done as well. Check out: Kung Fu, double dragon, berserk, hero, pitfall, frogs and flies, adventure, defender, Mario bros, and river raid. Those games all make an rgb Atari well worth it
No. Just play the crap on emulation.
>>3319013

Why the fuck is it so fuckimg hard? I'm playing it in Nestopia, saving state, and it's even impossible to pass stage 3...
Also, post more hard nes games.

>playing the abominable NES port in 2016
The japanese version is even harder since it has no continues.
damn nes games look like shit
I dunno about the whole "Inafune didn't create Mega Man" thing that I seem to keep seeing lately, though. Kitamura did make a sprite of Mega Man first, it's true, but Inafune designed what we now think of as Mega Man today in official art, based off of that sprite. Had it been anyone else, Mega Man could have looked very different. Just look at how the Mega Man from Captain N turned out based on someone else's interpretation of the in-game sprite with nothing else to go on. So at the very least, I think Inafune should at least be credited as co-creator, if nothing else, even if people are really upset with him as of late.
Shitting on Inafune has become a meme. A lot of people who dump on him probably have only a vague idea of who he is, just that he is hated and therefore they should hate him as well. And, I completely agree with you. He did do a lot of illustration for the series and played a part in the iconic art style. He also gave us Zero. The way some talk about it you'd think that he had no involvement with the franchise besides "taking credit" and having his name slapped on the game. I wonder how many people shit on Disney saying "NUH-UH you don't deserve any credit, Disney company! Snow White was a story BEFORE you made your conartist hack job movie!"
Disney has consistently made my least favorite adaptations of the Grimm's Fairytales tbqhwy famicom
(my favorite is actually an extremely hard to find adaptation of the Golden Bird made in the early 80s in Japan, though all I can find now is a trimmed down Finnish dub)
I agree, god bless his soul, i am going to buy ten Mighty No 9 copies to show gratitude to this great man.

Hi /vr/, I come from /g/ seeking your help.
I am trying to get Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit to run on Ubuntu 14.04 and it's giving me a hard time.
I've tried installing it via PlayonLinux which, after some workarounds, ended with me being able to access the menu and load up a race, but the game then crashed when the track was loaded (but before it was displayed).
Now I set up a VM with Windows 98 SE, installed SciTech Display Doctor to have access to resolutions other than 640x480 16 colors (not 16 bit, 16 colors = 4 bit). Now my display is set to 800x600 True Color which is nice.
Need for Speed was installed without any problems but when I try to start the game the screen flashes black for a fraction of a second and that's it. When I open up 3dsetup (which should let me choose the graphics driver) I can only choose "Software Renderer".
Can anyone help me with this? I don't have access to my old PC from back when.
Here's a screenshot of the 3dsetup.exe.
Bumping this once.
Am I seriously the only one trying to get this to run?
use windows
Why do adventure game fans hate Myst?
I wouldn't hold the opinion of adventure game fans in high regard as they're the type of autists that don't like Grim Fandango based on the way it controls (completely forgetting the brilliant writing, setting, graphics, style, music, etc)
Myst however commercialized the genre in a way that hadn't been seen before, and I assume for an adventure game fan popular=bad
>>3317797
Pretty sure you meant to say
"Why do adventure game fans love Myst?"
For maximum trolling potential
the game lacks a visible protagonist and a clear narrative (it has one, but it's told more indirectly). Most of the puzzles are isolated and not natural aspects of the game world
ITT: Games made people that didn't know how to program games
Games made people?
Are you talking about the NES port? Because computer Hydlide is great.

Is DDR retro?
Im thinking of ones that will actually make money...
I want to pour a lot of hours on a comfy retro JRPG this Summer, so options are these games, Dragon Warrior 7 or Xenogears for the PSX
I just really want a decent story and combats and the sensation of being part of an adventure.

What sick finds have you found on eBay?
I'm about to win a Mega man X for SFC on ebay for $11.50, beats paying $30.00+
http://www.ebay.com/itm/371661093764?_trksid=p2046732.m570.l5998&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI371661093764.N35.S2.R1.TR2
I also won a North American Mega Man X2 loose cart for $21.00 a couple weeks ago. That felt good.

>I'm about to win a Mega man X for SFC on ebay for $11.50,
not anymore, faggot :^)
>>3314810
Still winning it though.
But yeah, have you found anything neat on ebay for cheap?
>>3314807
I found a ClearTunes prison inmate issued game console a few months back, that was pretty cool.
Is n64 emulation still garbage?
Yes
Yes, and it always will be
>>3314287
i wouldn't know
devs will tell you that many problems have been fixed but i couldn't be arsed to seek them out
Two decades and it hasn't been topped.
I've heard complaints about the camera.
How would you improve that, exactly?
>>3312484
No one really has, so it's still up for debate.
