What's the best jRPG on the NES?
>>3278660
Metal Max
Dragon Quest 1 - 4
Final Fantasy 1 - 3
Earth Bound/Mother 1
Sweet Home
Donkey Kong 3
These days, it's hard to say. If you don't like grinding and random battles, then there is practically nothing on the NES that will hold your interest (unless you are more interested in action RPGs like Zelda 2, Crystalis, and the like).
I can't really get into any of them on the NES, though the WS/GBA/PSP remakes of FF1 and 2 + the DS remake of FF3 were quite nice.
Maybe Lagrange Point? That just got translated.
Hey, I want to buy a new phone next month (probably the Sony Z5 Compact) and have a few questions about emulator.
1: Does a DS4 controller clip work well and is it a good way to play while in bed or away
2: If I connect the phone to the TV will it be the same resolution or can I change that individually ?
3: Up to which console generation are mobile phones able to emulate well ?
Thank you for your time.

1. Clips are really only necessary if you're playing in a moving vehicle or possibly on the toilet most other places you'll be more comfortable just sitting your phone up. My iMpulse controller has a little hard case that doubles as a stand when you slide it off. If you're playing while laying down you'll find that clips are actually bad as your arms will get tired being held up in front of your face for hours
2. MHL 2.0 goes all the way up to 4k
3. Should do all retro consoles including Dreamcast just fine. Android N64 emulators are kinda shitty. I like N64oid but it's discontinued and doesn't have very good controller support

thank you for your answer :D
God Policenauts sucks! It's so bad. It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.
Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.
No, it's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an osa you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.
Is the plot interesting? Not really. Yeah, not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It is literally Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.

nice blog
>>3278262
thanks for bumping another no doubt fascinating thread off this board faggot
Plot-wise it has a really strong start but just goes absolutely nowhere, really dull Kojima standards and it's a shame. I like the gameplay just fine though, it's like Snatcher but more intuitive, less scrolling through lists.

Avalon was Magneto's best theme. Actually, most of the CoTA soundtrack was great, even if it didn't always make sense.

>>3278013
What the hell are you supposed to do about hyper grav? I got Magneto into a corner once and all he did was start spamming that shit. I couldn't super jump around it and blocking obviously doesn't work. I was Colossus and even my "fuck your projectiles!" charge didn't stop it. What do?
So why the fuck isn't there a $10 ali express multi cart for Sega Master system like there is for NES???
I love krikzz and all but I dont want to shell out 100 for another cart.
just get a mega drive and a clone everdrive for that . it will play sms games
>>3277613
Did the clones have multi carts with them like nes? If so that's a good idea. Can't find any on ebay though.
You can literally play every Master System game on the Mega Everdrive/Everdrive MD/clone already, what's the point?
What do you guys think of Compilation Games?
>>3277548
As a kid, I bought as many as I could. Figured it was the best way to get the most out of my allowance. Game in the OP and Sonic Mega Collection Plus were my best purchases. Now? I'll only pick them up if emulation is spot on, unless it's a portable compilation game of console games, where I'm slightly more forgiving.
>>3277548
I'm oddly fascinated by them.
I like how they hype the games up with artwork and sound effects. It makes it a uniquely more enjoyable experience than just downloading a rom online.

why the fuck didn't this get a pal release

Lost and can't use a catalog either? We have a 24/7 Doom general, use that.

What do you guys like to play on cozy windy/rainy nights?
>>3277115
survival/horror games
Always liked Milon's Secret Castle for this. The soundtrack is great and the exploration is fun. It's a hard game though so a lot of people get too frustrated.

bro you are too funny way awesome trolling
Why don't we talk about some pre baldurs gate CRPG'S
Just finished up Curse of the azure bonds, forgot about how awesome the combat system is. Why did games stop using it?
I see all these TSR game colletions on GOG. Out of all of them I'd only ever played the 1st Eye of the Beholder.
Awfully tempting.
Darklands is king.

If you like tactical AD&D combat, you'll love the gold box games. Mind you, besides some basic fantasy story and dungeoncrawling thats mostly it
Hey, /vr/.
I need your help locating a genesis game from the early 90s.
My memory is a bit hazy, but certain things stuck out; Like the music, it was twangy and metallic sounding, kinda rockin', too.
The graphics were a bit fuzzy, but they worked. You played a generic looking fighter.
I'm at my wits end here, help please!
>>3276912
>you played a generic looking fighter
it might help to describe why the main character was fighting or what the plot or setting was
if you can remember
Help me /vr/. nes wrestling game, i remember that you went to the corner, pressed some buttons and some guys on tje corner changed your mask or something like that. Guys in the corner had Black mask like an executioner. Was my first game when I was three.
>>3276912
Was it Deadly Moves?
>excellent gameplay
>excellent music
>amazing graphics
Such an underrated gem. Why isn't this game talked about more often?
Also Aerosmith > anything you like.
Fact.
Hey, it's the Genesis sound thread guy. What's up?
You should do Deus Ex for your next /ogg/. That's sure to rake in those (You)s.
>>3276885
I made this thread because I'm sick of the Genesis sound thread and how unfair it is that this game gets shit on.
Nice accusations though you autistic retard fuck.
>>3276874
the only thing worse than western retro games is western retro games about crappy dadrock bands
ITT we discuss cool bugs.
Dear Janny,
Why do you delete these threads? They are 100% on topic. They are interesting. It's rarely discussed which adds nice variety to the board. Please post in this thread before deleting it AGAIN to explain your rational. Or better yet, post some bugs!!
>>3276395
>They are interesting
>nice
>explain your rational
because he hates you and your kind you fucking idiot holy shit this isn't a good place like what the fuck is wrong with you that you feel entitled to fair treatment or safety or belonging? all your rights are fucking imaginary nonsense
fucking worse than sjw I swear
>They are 100% on topic.
How about you post images of retro bugs on this retro video game image board?
A Link to the Past, but better.
It has a translation patch, for those wondering.

Wee lad, that's some opinion.

LttP is mostly bloat anyway
so I found a patch that fixes the strafing in the PC version of powerslave so you can circlestrafe and all that fancy stuff. Thought I would share it with you guys. You need to set your controls before applying the patch or else it won't work, you also need to use the turn keys not the strafe keys the patch will take care of it.

SLAVE
TO
THE POWER
OF
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH
There is something very important to know when using this patch.
It allows to strafe, turn, and going forward/backward at the same time, which wasn't possible in the original game.
In Build games, as well as in Doom and many other 2.5D FPS, when strafing and going backwards at the same time, you go faster. About 20% depending on the game.
As a result, if you strafe/forward jump, you make longer leaps; and as a result, since you were not able to originally, you can sequence break a LOT of things in the game.
The levels design and layout were heavily based on "being able to see a place long before you gain access to it", and a lot of design is based on the precise original jump distance limit. So, if you strafe/forward/jump you can sequence break in almost every level.
Here is an example video I made a few days ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSl5alRtV8U&feature=youtu.be
Here in Lev8 you can access the end of the level right from the start that way. Of course, in this case it's obvious you're not supposed to do that, but in many cases it really isn't obvious you're sequence breaking if you do it and are not aware of this.
So enjoy the patch, but for every jump, do not strafe at the same time unless you want to completely break the game.
The game however with real strafing in this game is that, unlike in Doom or DN3D or most other 2.D FPS in which enemies fire straight projectiles at you, in Exhumed/Powerslave if you strafe they'll shoot by trying to guess where you're going to be, rather than shooting where you are. This gives a new dimension to the gameplay with the real strafing patch.
Great game, glad to see a thread about it. If you like the PC version of this game stay tuned for a surprise in a few months.
more like powerstrafe, am i rite :^)
