What's the best NES game?
http://poal.me/rqpv1d
(Not counting Tetris.)

>he likes the NES
>>3308917
Uh... yeah? This IS the retro gaming board, after all. Most people here like the NES.
>>3308923
You must be new here. We all hate the Nintendo and only approve of European microcomputers and Sega hardware.
Can anyone recommend some good Metroidvania style games? General Metroidvania thread. Old or new, doesn't matter. I know people are talking about newer ones but i'm not sure if any projects were completed yet.
Pic unrelated, sorry just making sure i'm not crazy.
Wario Land 3 did it before it was cool

Cave Story
I'm confused, is this video saying the genesis audio actually sounds this good with a mod, or that it COULD sound this good if the chip was used to it potential?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKsUAywSyEg
>>3308008
the video is promoting some homebrew WAV player for the genesis made by TmEE
i might be wrong, that's just what i'm taking from it
>>3308008
That video is retarded. First of all you'd need CD-tier storage to play music like that and still have space for the game, so might as well use the appropriate add-on, since the 32X still uses carts and the gain in digital audio was the number of available hardware channels.
>>3308165
or have a Sega CD
:^)

Surprised there's not a thread about this already. Anybody play it yet?
ooooooooh.
There was a thread a while back, it died due to a lack of interest.
Has DC emulation improved within the last few years?
Name one (1) decent game on this platform.
You can't.
So post platforms similar to this but with an actually good library.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Dungeon Keeper is pretty good.
Duke Nukem 3D also
DOS games got pretty good around the mid 90's, post-DOOM, really. It was only the 80s where it was just terrible arcade conversions and D&D for people so autistic they don't even have friends to play D&D with.
>>3307457
>and D&D for people so autistic they don't even have friends to play D&D with.
lol.
But it's way too easy. Is there anything similar I can play? Is the 64 version more of the same and still too easy?
>>3307287
Final Fantasy tactics was made by the same team
The 64 version is much easier, you can train up all your troops out of battle.
>>3307292
This.
FFT is sadly the best game they've done. All the others are either too easy or very simplistic when you actually delve into the mechanics.
Except the PSP port of LuCT which is just a bloated mess of bad decisions. FFT is far from perfect, but a solid game at least.
Sup /vr/.
Finally I managed to play original Quake with an actual Voodoo accelerator (game runs on win98 machine with PII400 and Elsa Gefroce256 SDR as main graphics card) and I was a little bit disappointed.
Sure game runs way smoother, but all that lovely details on the map looks kinda faded and the whole color pallet feels washed out.
Am I doing something wrong?
>>3306718
Turn down the gamma in 3dfx control panel.
>>3306795
Yeah, its on high by default.
>>3306718
Just play Quakespasm. Why the hell would you use original hardware when the fucking source code works on modern computers.
What is the first handheld console you have ever had? My first one was the Gameboy. Not the advanced, not the small ones, just the big Gameboy with Tetris.
Game Boy Pocket with Pokemon Red.
Noice m8
A purple GBC with Pokemon Blue.

Do you do this every thread?
Is this remake actually better than the original PSX game?
Have not played TS, but lately people are telling me this.
It's better in the sense that it has more gameplay variety, you can for example hide inside lockers and fuck around with guards in more creative ways, it's like MGS2 in that regard.
But some people don't like it because "not like muh original".
If you've already played the original, go ahead and try TS, it's a good remake.
>>3305137
>"not like muh original"
people don´t criticize only for the fact of being a remake, but for the ankward new cutscenes and for shoving MGS2 gameplay into the original level design. It´s like having Venom Snake sprinting like a beast and having full third person shooter on Big Shell. Does it make that a better experience than the original? I don´t think so.
Also, if you think about MGS basically being a 3D revision over MG2 Solid Snake, TS makes even less sense. They...

Yeah all of what you wrote is what I meant with "not muh original".
I agree with you though, it's not a substitute, but TS is still worth playing. I'm pretty sure if it was released on PS2 it would have been received way better, I don't know why Kojima decided to remake MGS1 on Gamecube when the core fanbase of MGS is on Sony, especially during PS2 era.
Tell me /vr/
Do you jump with A and attack with B, or do you belong to the master Race that Attacks with A and Jumps with B?
I'm not sure you could've taken a worse picture if you tried.
>>3305079
I only have a Moto G

>literally no difference in difficulty.
What are some retro games that use the same engine? I know DQ I-IV on the NES pretty much run on the same engine. Pic related are pretty well known examples of reused engines.
Power Rangers Fighting Edition and Gundam Wing Endless Duel
Did games really have 'engines' back then?
>>3305034
yes. Stuff like map metadata, collision handling, loading strategies can be reused
Fun Fact: Did you know that the same people who made the redneck fps shooter Redneck Rampage went on the make the original Fallout that same year?
Did you know SMB3 USA was actually a reskin of a Taiwanese game called Donkey Kong Picnic
did you knwo mario is a plumber who jumps
Video games are games.
Beautiful fami/nes graphics. Yet the bosses are very hard with the slow controls.
I love the sprite animation in this one. It feels sorta Prince of Persia-ish.
>>3305662
Totally anime prince of Persia with good music too.

Must be a pain in the ass to produce such fluid animations with sprites.
What are some Aussie games or games that feature Australian things. Because Australia is one of the greatest places in the universe and its people are awesome
The best retro 3D platformer features an Australian mammal and several Australian bosses.

All games are true blue when you play them with modified Pal 60, ntsc is shithouse mate. It's an absolute ripper on a crt, you'd have to be a bloody poofta to use a HDtv.
