I used to be both of those people, kek.

One time when I was a kid I buried a copy of Wolverine Adamantium Rage in a playground because I thought it would make some kid's day if they found it like hidden treasure and got to play a free game.

he has a point. Brave Fencer Mahsushi is better than Zelda 64

If he thought Hyrule Field was too big, I can only imagine how much this guy would hate Breath of the Wild.

Zelda 64 was kind of fun when I was a kid, but I booted it up recently with a new game and quit before Kakariko Village. Way too much exposition in that game. If you have that much dialogue, at least use it to develop characters with interesting motives. You could argue that it's a game for kids, but Pixar develops for children too and create works that everyone can appreciate.

Ocarina has too much exposition without any real payoff for it. Characters end up repeating themselves and cutscenes are unskippable.

Lucca. I wish there was more hentai of her or at least a dakimakura.

A cartridge in it's most basic form is just a convenient way to plug a ROM chip into the CPU of a console.

ROM is very simple. You give ROM a number called an "address", and it returns a number that is the "data" at that address.

Because we are working with digital electronics, these numbers are specified as binary numbers. For old ROM chips found in carts, the bits for both the address and data numbers have a direct mapping to the pins on the ROM.

For example, let's say we have a ROM that can take a 15-bit address and returns 8-bit data, for a total of 2^15-1 bytes of memory. In that case, there are literally 15 address pins on the ROM chip labeled A0-A14 and 8 data pins labeled D0-D7. The pins are directly connected to the contacts on the cartridge.

Everything gets reduced down to a number on a computer, both data and code alike. Loosely speaking, a computer is designed to execute instructions by keeping track of the address of the instruction to execute (called the "program counter" or PC), fetching the number at that address, interpreting the number as an instruction, executing that instruction, incrementing the PC, and doing it all over again.

In this way a game can be stored on a ROM, which a console can read to execute code and get data.

there might be a chip-select pin or output-enable pin on a ROM chip too, but those are minor details.

make sense?

Level out all that shit, jesus christ.

It is level, the camera was just held slightly askew.

Anyone?

They are one of those series that if you do like the gameplay, the only way to know is to buy every single one. I own Army Men 3D and Army Men: Team Assault World War. I think that both are mediocre, but Id love to find one that gives the definitive experience. My plan was to eventually get them all and then choose for myself. Considering they are so cheap, i dunno.

My favorite is 3:Toys in Space. Fun series overall, I really like the multiplayer mode with bots. Army Men Sarges Heroes 1 & 2 are great games but not available on PC I think.

>What happens if you miss boxes in a level?

You... don't get the gem?

>>4120565
what does the gem do?

You don't get the gem.
Not retro.
Get out.

I guess you'll just have to restart with a different version. lol

>>4120459
Do more damage to tyrant, maybe?

>>4120459
sounds like you're having speed issues.

Try to find a way to cap the game at the right speed maybe.

Sonic, Crusaders of Centy

>>4120441
Read the fucking catalog.

>>4117163

>>4120467
sonic is good but it's not an answer to smw at all. smw is about exploration and has a large overworld, feels more like a grand adventure. sonic is more an answer to super mario bros.

>>4120467
>Crusaders of Centy
>>4120469
Not seeing anything there that isn't a cheap clone or absolute trash looking 2bh

*PlayStation is fine, too (hopefully, never used the emulator before)

Goemon 64

Terranigma

The new Crash does seem pretty good but poorly done remakes cheapen the legacy of good games q.v. many modern films that completely ruin formerly good things.

I don't see the point, the originals looked and played great.

>>4118589
>Same levels
>Same gameplay
What's the point again. Remakes are only good when they add something significant to the original.

Retro games are the Dark Souls of video games.

Kirby, any of them

>>4118563
Sonic
unless you're underage

DC is hands down the best version if you have an arcade stick.

>>4113367
Well the Dreamcast one has more chars, but the graphics where updated and I do so enjoy the cheesy shitty graphics of the n64 version.

Fuck the PSX version though.

>>4113374
>Fuck the PSX version though
Why?

>>4112431
Has a whole keyboard full of keys though

>>4112431
>he cant operate a computer using only the power button

why are you even alive

>>4112612
Most games didn't use the keyboard though, they used the shitty joystick that only had one button, which meant you had to jump by pressing "up".

that's a pretty loaded question

>>4109717
protip: both are shit, go play a real action platformer
