I have these two by heart, which is sad because they are for SMW.
Truth be told, kid me didn't know spin jump was so fucking broken in that game, I never used it.
Cut twenty years and see youtubes of people spin jumping off boos and thwomps and saws.
Fuck me, that game is easy mode now.
No adults that played the game ever knew that shit either, it seemed, because I saw a lot of people play it and never saw how invincible spin jump is.

Anyway, CBED-6DDF and C222-D4DD.

I DID hack the shit out of game genie codes on the SNES though.
If you substitute iirc E or F at the end of some codes it does crazy stuff. Sim City as I recall you could do that and it would make it so you make a dollar for every square of park you build, so if I got short I could just build park over park in my donut-city-block centers, and could thus keep taxes stomped down.

Infinite Health for Batman Forever The Arcade Game on the Playstation 1 via the Game Shark. That game is frustrating to beat without that code.

>Have you made any of your own GG/PAR codes before?

I used to have a game genie for the old brick game boy and there was no other game I used it more on than pokemon. At some point after the game's release a code surfaced that let you catch mew near cerulean. Using google right quick, I think it was 151-91A-7FC.

Since mew was the 151st pokemon and the code started with 151, I incorrectly assumed the first set of three numbers determined the pokemon the code called. Through sheer dumb coincidence, it turned out I was sorta' right. Mew's index value was 15, so I found changing the first two numbers would change what pokemon you got.

After that, I thought "Well, if one of these controls the pokemon, another value must control where you find them". I guessed that if I changed the next set, 91A, to a different value, it would make them appear on a different map. Once again through dumb luck I was right and somehow managed to figure out how to get the selected pokemon to take squirtle's place in oak's lab.

I remember after finding it I spent all day starting a new game and seeing what starting pokemon I could get with it, until eventually my file erased itself. The wild encounter code was also the first time I encountered Missingno., and when I found it I was amazed and thought I was the first person to find a new pokemon.

Games.

Everything including what the other two consoles are good for

I appreciate his eclectic taste for everything from playing Ms Pacman on the Atari Lynx to having a PC Engine LT.

Castlevania is the Rosetta Stone for the music of Mana.

>weird systems like the 3DO
Sounds super hard core. lol

>>4121854
thanks

>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Hell no!

>>4121103
I wonder if they're going to include a fixed version of the controller

>>4121103
I didn't even need to read the list to know it's bullshit. It's some random nobody's thrown together list. The concept is fun to talk about, but there's no reason why that information would leak, and so early.

>5. GoldenEye
>6. Perfect Dark
Pretty sure Microsoft has some control over the Rare brand.
>7. WCW/nWO Revenge
WWE has the rights to all the old WCW stuff and signing off for a re-release of it would do nothing for them.
>18. Star Wars Racer
>19. Star Wars Shadow of the Empire
Licensing fees would make this not worth it.

>>4116172
yes and in order

>what's the best way to play them?
Phantasy Star Complete Collection for the Playstation 2 in Japanese.
If it absolutely has to be in English, play 1 via the SMS Power patch with FM sound enabled, for the rest the complete collection is fine.

>>4116179
So you're saying there are no good English releases of the games?

>>4109630
I remember that Ren and Stimpy game. Man it sucked. Super difficult.

>>4109645
Yeah, I beat it once and could never do it again. It has a warm place in my heart, though. Also, it's not nearly as difficult as Arcade's Revenge which almost single-handedly crushed my childhood hopes and dreams.

I see you have Yoshi's Safari, did you have a Super Scope?

Do the DS remakes supersede the original Game Boy games or do both versions have pros/cons?
Which should I play first?

>>4057032
The DS remakes should be treated like Minstrel Song overall, they add new mechanics and many core mechanics from the series, tons of new content and many quality of life changes.
I wouldn't say that SaGa 2 DS makes the original not worth playing, I personally prefer the chiptunes though some of the arrangements are very good, especially some new tracks too, the classic aesthetic is also better since both DS remakes are kind of generic 00's anime with the only things left unchanged being some iconic designs like mechs or certain enemies.
I'd say SaGa 3 DS makes the original pointless to play unless you're interested to play it for historical purposes, GB SaGa 3 is barely a SaGa game, Kawazu didn't even work on it at all and it shows, the DS remakes has been handled personally by Kawazu and it is actually a very good game that adds a lot of fun mechanics while also keeping all of the stuff unique to GB SaGa 3 like the special Cyborg/Beastman races and time travel.

As a /vr/ trooper I'd say play both, the GB games are very short, simple and fast, you can easily finish them in a couple of hours, the DS games have more content and more mechanics that you might enjoy more if you've played the originals and see how they build up the gameplay.

Can't figure out if this game is kusoage or great or not.

>>4139934
kusoge is like a shit game but it's still enjoyable. if you can't find any enjoyment in it then it's an abject piece of garbage

this looks cool but potential flaws have yet to be discovered, probably will play this later tonight

>>4139735

Theyr'e translating the games and releasing them for Steam. Buy them to support more translations.

>>4139735
3 was released recently, poindexter.

>>4139735
There's a PMS wikia that reviews the entire series.

Didn't even need to watch it again, it's such a classic. I really love these retro commercials

>>4139132
Classic.

MK1 on the Genesis is like a high school jock, shitting on the nerdy MK1 on the SNES

MK2 on the Genesis is like that same high school jock now as a middle aged, fat and balding grocery store clerk, while MK2 on the SNES is now a rich alpha.

>"I would go so far as to say that the Super NES version is one of the best arcade-to-home conversions I've seen."
It doesn't matter much of the source game is shit

>>4139542
But we're talking about MK2, not 3

>For the GBA
Why would you want a cut-off screen and shitter sound just to get a different translation?

>>4138330
cos I like the gba and dont speak japanese

I'm not gonna provide sources but tomato - the guy who hacked mother 3- looked into the EB code and found out they used a proprietary scripting language or some such that was bizarrely extremely complicated. So in other words it's probably never happening.

they are amazing. I really miss the classic era. For example the newer Personas especially the 4th lost the true SMT identity, and i feel bad for it. I miss the Spell fusion System, the gloomy atmosphere etc. But otherwise i like SMT IV for preserve the Classic era style.

SMTI can be pretty broken but I still enjoy it, I don't recommend it without prior SMT experience.

SMTII is a better game all around but still has it's bullshit, great dungeon crawler though.

Persona 1 is pretty lackluster, it's a decent dungeon crawler but it's hard to recommend.

Persona 2 has a pretty good plot but the combat may turn people off. I don't know if I would say outright bad but it requires dedication, if that makes sense.

If... never ever it seems, looks cool though.

>>4138846
I'd agree with you about 4 if you were talking about the Golden version. I vanilla still had that feeling especially towards the beginning and end section of it, the lack of special events and the feeling of it being very 2008 Japan.

>>4138476
idk, y?

Because hidden blood code. Nintendo knew better than Midway, obviously.

>>4138476
Bump for interest
I had the first and second game for both consoles
