It comes up occasionally

It comes up once in a while.
It's basically baby's first dating sim, mainly popular because it was released in the US.
The system is way too simple and you get too much time. There's only two girls that can't be obtained during the same playthrough because you are forced to decide between them.

It's noteworthy for being the only Japanese men's romance sim ever officially marketed for the English market.
These days nobody knows what a romance sim is, and people confuse them with character raising sims and non-sim choose-your-own-adventure novel games.

I was thinking that the best way to do it is to make a entire world a lobby with rooms dedicated to each Kong so they can make it based on their abilities.
And you have a situation where you do something that affects the other Kong's room so he can get another GB (ex:Chunky starts throwing boulders, making an avalanche that affects Lanky's Room and he can now get to a higher platform with all the rocks).
But if we're talking about the vanilla game
>everyone can collect everything except golden bananas
>insta-swaps
>some parts are swap-locked, you can only use one character in that area.
>get rid of most minigames and replace them with platforming sections or more of those sneak/kill/collect coins mazes
>Instruments are useless besides clearing enemies, get rid of them or only use them for a rhythm minigame for GBs
>DK Arcade with 2 lives for both GB and N64 coin

Me and my brother came up with an interesting idea. This is inspired from DKC and the King Kutout fight-
Have each kong able to rotate with the press of a button on the spot. Each hit costs 1 whole melon, but each Kong has their own health counter. When they die, they get lost just like in DKC. Then you have barrels scattered in the level to get your Kongs back.
It fixes the backtracking because you can just switch out on the spot, and it adds a slight bit more difficulty/punish, but not an unreasonable amount (you get a 2nd melon in Angry Aztec, and a 3rd somewhere between Fungi Forrest and Crystal Caves)

Pull a Gearbox and siphon the funds to make MediEvil III.

The real game is in Mania mode which is unlockable by a code. The Bosses have like, completely new patterns and set ups.

>I didn't use any continues and had 4 lives left when I beat Mr. X
Wtf you did great. What the hell are you complaining about.

>>4242617

Because it was easy mode. It felt really cheap like that time when I steamrolled through the japanese easy mode of Castlevania.

And another question.
Why do people praise this game as some kind of amazing RPG?
From the time I've sunk into, the rpg mechanics feel like absolute garbage.
Mostly in regards to weapon skills. Standard could be considered overpowered. Energy Weapons and Heavy Weapons have only ONE weapon wroth using. Exotic is pretty much a dead end unless you're insistent on using the Crystal Shard.
Skill based bonus damages hurt weapon balance, because then it means your level 1 gun will be doing more damage than the gun you have to sink 6 points of skill in to even use.

It's a fine game, but to call it a good RPG feels ridiculous.

Also, a third question.
I'm replaying the game and I'm presently in engineering.
In the radiation exposed tunnels near the start, my screen kind of does a weird shaking when taking steps.
Is that supposed to happen? It doesn't happen anywhere else in the level, just those tunnels.
But that the same time, I don't recall that ever happening in any of my previous playthroughs.

first game is better imo

>emulation
you must be new here

>>4242360
Why would I need emulation when I could just play any of my consoles on my CRT TV? Unless you're a poorfag, there's no need to emulate. Besides it's never 100% accurate.

Emulation is the best thing invented after Internet. There is nothing wrong with it.

>>4242385
I'm a poorfag and gave all my old consoles to young cousins. Emulation was a second life when I discovered it 20 years ago.
The joy of retrogaming does not depends on the hardware you use and this is nice.

I use a Logitech Chillstream.

Isn't this a game similar to Shenmue?

>Mizzurna Falls was the final game released by Human Entertainment, the creators of the Clock Tower series. In Mizzurna Falls, a young man named Matthew must search for his missing friend Emma in an open-world, real-time game environment with a heavy emphasis on complex storytelling and dialogue. The game , which is heavily influenced by the works of David Lynch, has never been localised into English or released outside of Japan, and yet it was a clear influence on games such as Shenmue and Deadly Premonition.

Play Radical Dreamers.

Kind of? CC was rushed towards the end so most of the major plot points you could have picked up are skimmed over really fast. Though you would appreciate the few references it does have like what FATE really is.

well there are a few parts where it's awkward in knowing where to go next.

also the story is kind of disjointed. definitely not as straight forward as CT.

still, CC is a gorgeous game with amazing music and great overall atmosphere. I loved it more than CT.

third party is fine, they just used cheap Chinese batteries when being manufactured but if you replace the batteries they are good

I fucking hate Rumiko Takahashi. Her art style is not so bad but every single one of her works are awful.

>>4242296
mind explaining yourself?

I thought the entire Urusei Yatsura series was top comfy. especially the second movie.

>>4242130
final fantasy 8 is so comfy.

Well yes, yes it is. I get a lot of shit for saying it but it's my favorite final fantasy. And I'm old enough to not care anymore.

I'm buying Black Crypt. I want the definitive experience while playing on actual Amiga hardware. I'm willing to drop a couple thousand. Won't pull the trigger for a few months, though. I wanna research shit. I don't wanna spend more than necessary. I'd appreciate some advice.

(2/2)

OP here. Fuck. This shit's rare. I might have to play it on a modern PC.

OP again. Found a dope guide: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/commodore-amiga-101-beginners-guide

Would still appreciate advice.

All I can say is while people keep saying Mania looks like a Saturn game, I can only think that it looks like a 32X game. The exuberant and detailed colors, background and sprites are what make me think like that.

Mania would require at least the Saturn to run imo, if only for the Special Stages if nothing else.

32x/CD might be able to handle the rest okay.

That doesn't look right. Here is my cart for reference. Perhaps it was a release? Does it say "Made in Mexico" on the back? Is the manual full color or black and white?

>>4241767
>Lion King
There's much more wrong with this pic besides worn out contacts.

>>4241767
its a cib. instruction manual, back cover and cart say assembled in mexico. the back cart also have the Virgin sticker. the case doesnt have the sega logo inside. just looks generic. i think its legit and the owner is just retarded. he didnt show the contact in the ebay pic. i would open it up and check the pcb but i dont have the screwdriver for this retarded bit.
