OMF 2097

Donkey Kong '94 for GB

I can tell that what you want is Mischief Makers and Rocket Knight Adventures

If you get behind there, you get to play as Zelda.

That guy's entire life must be so claustrophobic.

Nope

The only people calling it the "best RPG ever" are people trying to sell a copy.

>>4164602
well I've got a modchip and an action replay, I'm just curious to see what you guys think

It's rare and there are no other RPGs like it but obviously "best" is subjective

>>4164525
Just start with the first, fifth, or sixth for Wizardry

It's generally easy to get everything together for the PC 88, PC 98, or DOS versions of those games. Also most Jap versions of Wizardry have english modes.

>>4164525
Wizardry 6-8 trilogy is pretty great, though different than 1-5. There is an automap mod for 6 if you wish, and it also works for 7 DOS version so that you don't need to keep going into your inventory to check your map. Use that instead of playing GOLD.

Just play World of Xeen instead

Bragging about your useless shit online.

Billions of years ago a large object collided with the earth resulting in debris which formed the moon and tilting the earth slightly on its axis. This tilt causes one hemisphere to be exposed to more sunlight and as earth rotates around the sun this alternates between the northern and southern. This causes the seasons we experience. It is currently summer in the northern hemisphere, hence this thread.

>>4164521
Some idiots overbidding. Though I really can't grasp why anyone would pay more than a few bucks for a loose Mario World.

idk
tetris, pong, space invaders and pacman?
I'm just guessing

>>4164517
I know pacman has no levels after 255 and it screws with the game from then on. Lots of old games have something like that. It's called a kill screen.

Teletubbies the game.

>>4164424
lol, game?

>>4164424
>"おかま"だそうだが…

only option is a drill with a thin tip, carefully drilling until you break the screw, it will not work again obviously.

>>4164385
You're pretty fucked. You can drill out the heads, and then pop it off, and unscrew the now headless screws using pliers.

Otherwise, unless the controller is broken, just leave it closed.

OP, you haven't been looking around hard enough if you think their prices are good.

>>4164205
>>4164206
Their prices aren't terrible.

On eBay iirc it's free shipping to Canada so I've bought some stuff from them and it was fine.

>>4164206
Is there somewhere else with better prices?

You forgot

It was yet another expensive piece of hardware that took away resources that Sega should have focused on Saturn. Their ecosystem was way too fucking crowded at the time, with Genesis, Game Gear, Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn.

>>4164194
But it wasn't expensive for Sega. They already had a portable Genesis with no screen, the Nomad was probably easy as hell for them to create. And no one looking at a Saturn would have been confused by the Nomad. It's like saying the Gameboy distracted from Nintendo's main consoles.

This thing confused the fuck out of me so much as a kid. I couldn't have been older than 4 or 5, I could barely read, and I had never played an RPG before, so I didn't understand the joke they were making about the Run command, to me it was just a random series of images that made no sense.

No actual nightmares though.

game boy camera was bizarre
also if you buy one used there is a 99% chance it's gonna have dick pics on it

Doom

>more annoying font
idk, everything in that image is easy to read, including the two kanji. Do you have a screenshot of something you had trouble with?

I'm probably just being an idiot about it but the combination of round kanji plus squishy resolution really ticks me the wrong way.

>>4163865
That reads 装備 equipment

Super Potato is way overpriced, only chumps shop there.

If your TV can handle an NTSC signal, then there's no reason Japanese consoles shouldn't work with it. You'll still need a converter for the power though, obviously.

Pretty much everything 4th gen onward will work with modern TVs no problem as I understand it, as long as you get a power converter as >>4163708 says. I got a Jap PSone from the Ikebukuro super potato and it worked just fine when I got it home. You might want to look into RGB SCART leads though.

I can recommend the Mandarake and Book-Off stores in Akihabara; I got a few nice PS1 titles in the latter, and a friend of mine got a bunch of cool shit in the former.

What happend to that anon who lived in Japan and occasionally posted images about his finds and stuff? Maybe he can help you out.

Like >>4163708 said, Super Potato is overpriced shit. They have a lot of stuff there, but only worth it if you are rich enough.

>"fun bosses"

oh you mean throwing objects at it until it dies

also how you fight Birdo like 7 times, that's really fun

and the final boss being an absolute pushover that just stands there and waits for you to throw shit at him, so much fun amirite

It was different in a good way. They did a good job adapting it.

That's what you get when you facewash a game. I'd say this is the same reason why people love the new zelda. Not a 'classic' zelda, but this risk allowed to include new stuff outside the canon.
