Let me post a couple hypotheticals for ya, /vr/.
1) Say Final Fantasy 7 as we know it simply wasn't made, yet all the characters like Cloud, Tifa, Zack, etc remained in Ehrgeiz. Would any of those characters be remembered today? Or would Ehrgeiz be an even more forgotten game than it already is without having the 'Final Fantasy fighter' identity to go with it?
2) What if Ehrgeiz was released before FF7? Would it have been viewed as some lame promo stunt? Would FF7 instead be known as "The Ehrgeiz RPG?" Something else?
Just realized I still havent tried erhegeiz.
gotta get on that at some point.
>>3357564
Barely anyone remember Ehrgeiz even with the ff7 cameos.

The dungeon crawler rpg was surprisingly addictive and fun but too short. Also Clair is an underrated hottie.
Nice work, OP. This is indeed an interesting question. I'm a bit stumped at what the answer would be.
I specifically got this game BECAUSE Cloud and Co. were going to be in it. Never finished the crawler myself though, always assumed I was doing something wrong in it.
Still, I thought it had some nice characters in it, though I cannot recite to you all of the names by heart. I remember rewatching the Korean dude's bad ending because it made me feel sad for him all the time.
Also, the sumo-like guy annoyed me because his ending always kept fucking up for me. I can't remember if it kept looping with the eating scene or if nothing happened and it just ended.
And yet, with the whole trailer like things that appeared before you pressed start you could tell there was supposed to be something happening while he was inside of the ramen shop. I just never found out what. I should look up the ending on youtube sometime.
Can anyone explain how the Gameboy pocket is different to the other Gameboy models? Pros? Cons?
>>3357553
i had one as a kid right before the color came out..
its just the upgrade of the gameboy. think of it as the ps1 slim. its literally just a smaller gameboy original with better battery life and a slightly nicer screen. if you want something to play original gameboy games on i would either go original or color. because there were some great gameboy color games and it will play either. the original advance and the advanced sp both also played original gameboy games aswell. if you are wanting a system specifically to play gameboy games and you don't already have a advanced i would recommend getting the gameboy advanced sp. best screen plays advanced all the way down to original gameboy and its rechargeable.
its been yeeeeeeaaaaaars since I played with one, but here is what I know from my experience.
>black/gray screen, no green screen
>play gbc or gba with gb game cart, when nintendo logo drops press d-pad to black/white pallet.... thats the pocket.
>looks cleaner than old gb
>AAA batteries
>not really "pocket sized", similar size of gbc
>front looks like old gb
>back looks like they covered up the board, cart & battery slots, not enclosed like OG gameboy
>>3357553
this is the advanced sp. if you arn't going just for retro you just want to play games this is by far the nicest. rechargeable batteries and compatible with all gameboy and gamboy advanced series games. hunt around and you can pick one up for around 30$
Any ideas on what are in these blue potions, /vr/?

Opi/oid/ate benzo cocktail. At least, that's what I keep in mine. I gotta have some sort of an off switch for all the berserking methamphetamine.

Commodore 64
Playstation 1
You have three days to complete the game without assistance (each game gets three days, though RPGs are allowed a week due to length).
Select your system here:
http://s3kr.it/gauntlet.html
You can also do it manually if you don't trust the random number generator:
http://s3kr.it/systems/
Rules:
1) Savestates are allowed ONLY for the purpose of taking screenshots and ONLY if your emulator/game in question does not have a pause function.
2) Rerolls are allowed under the following conditions:
-The game you get requires some sort of hardware functionality that cannot be accurately emulated to complete (eg, Boktai)
-The game would otherwise require cheats, hacks, or alteration of the software to complete due to a bug (eg, Cheetahmen II)
For games that have a high score or no end, the rule is
>if no high score has been established, set a goal and beat it
>if you.re playing something another anon already has a high score on, beat their high score
>if you are playing extended rpgs/pokemon/whatever you get a week (Depending on the game: needs to be asked in thread)

Negger, you promised to remove GBA last thread
What the hell am I in for?

fuck it, reroll
I'm just now getting into fan translated rpgs from the SNES and genesis era. I've played the really obvious ones like FF and DQ.
what are some of the best ones that have been translated into english?
>>3356938
Recently got a new fantranslation and its amazing
>>3356938
Tales of Phantasia is pretty fun.
Why do people shit on this port? The color palette and music were upgraded without changing the originals that much (avoiding the "All Stars" controversy) and the password system was a nice addition.
>>3356919
>music
>upgraded
>>3356919
People shit on this port? Just why? I played it a couple of months ago and didn't notice much difference, except for the improved graphics and soundtrack.
>>3356970
KOOL story bro.
Would you fuck Shirley from Pilotwings? I know I would
Sure, but I'd rather fuck Ibis
>>3356741
i thought i was the only one
Her name is Shiraishi Ran.
US Nintendo 64DD was discovered
http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/found-us-version-of-n64-64dd.62294/
Pretty cool find
>>3356584
I'm dying to know what's on that disc. Considering no DD games ever got released outside of Japan it's probably just a testing program or something. Speculating is fun though, in that case I hope it's Mother 64 lol.
Why don't people remember Phantasy Star when talking about classic RPGs?
Cause people mainly remember Phantasy Star for its online games
not the original games
>walk into local game store
>"do you have phantasy star?"
>"no, you have to buy that online, it's not sold in stores"
>they think I want a fucking MMO
>>3356416
subjectively, and I say this having grown up with a Nintendo, Phantasy Star is the best of the "8-bit" console RPGs. Probably second and third place are FF3 and Mother (no particular order).
Retro game songs that get stuck in your head constantly.
I swear this song from The Ooze on Genesis gets stuck in my head every damn day.

I've never even played The Ooze.
From Chrono Trigger:

This and usually the remixes too. IX for example.

So /vr/, what's your opinion on the R-Type series?
Feel free to discuss shoot em ups in general and other games made by Irem as well.
>>3355903
I played the TG16 R-Type on the Wii Virtual Console about seven or eight years ago and thought it was pretty hard. I think I made it to level 5 or 6.Quite satisfying though. I think I liked it better than other shooters I'd played.
The classic R-Type games are pretty slow but I love R-Type Final.
has /vr/ got a chart for recommended obscure ganes and hidden gems? It would be cool if we work on some chart per console or an All-In-One chart with everything.
If you want to recommend something, please write why, the idea is to open discussions about the game and see if it is really a hidden gem.
pic related is known for his pricey value but I never seen it discussed, for example
please recommend, share and discuss
Trip world is kind of regarded as a worse version of Gimmick.
>>3355928
Still pretty comfy though. A lot easier, I'd say.
I looked into the level format sometime a few years ago and the level format is gay and the graphics are compressed (with an easy compression format, though) so maybe we'll see ROM hacks of it one day.
OP, here's my picks:
GB: Chalvo 55 - a fun puzzle game
SNES: Sutte Hakkun - a fun puzzle game
Your opinion on Tower of Drauga (PC Engine version)
PC Engine is probably my favorite version of the game. It's really fun once you start to get a hang of things.
With the translation patch it's easily the best version of the original, and maybe the best game in the series (I never really got far into Return of Ishtar; I didn't like it so much). Characters were no longer stick-figures, music sounds better, and you are not stuck trying to figure out the game's arbitrary BS in order to find treasure. Plus, the experience points system is fun and turns Gil into a monster and it feels so good to have more than one speed increase.
Only played it for a bit.
Do you have to get the treasure chest on every floor?
Let's have a little bit of fun and OC, /vr/.

Im playing Final Fantasy IX for the first time. It's probably been a year or two since ive played a Final Fantasy game.
It feels SO GOOD to be getting back into Final Fantasy. I can already tell that once I beat IX im going to be moving on to a different one I haven't played.
Final Fantasy thread.
Don't the let the rush get to you man. Just wait til you remember what a useless chud Amarant is.

>It feels SO GOOD to be getting back into Final Fantasy.
Imagine how good it will feel when you start playing one of the actual good ones, like 4, 5, 6 or 7.
>>3355974
