$200 is really steep

I'm not understanding this logic.

I did not like the port because it is not in its native aspect ratio. Also, I'm not a big fan of holding a small GBA right in my face when I can sit on my couch and play the game the way it was meant to be played on TV.

>>4111706
But you hadn't played it in it's native aspect ratio

If the presentation is stopping you from enjoying the game, it sounds like you might not like the game itself.

> I found their sprites on the snk wiki but is it really just a bunch of sprites with different colors or is it some fx going on here?

Nah, it's just they wanted to keep the effect in the "rip" most likely. The actual in-game effect is palete shifting, one of the oldest tricks there is:

Basically, games gave each graphic resource a limited color palette with a certain number of "entries" (usually way more restrictive for sprites) and while the number of entries was limited, each one could represent any color from a large master palette while still being applied to the same part of the image. Therefore, you could create several versions of the same image using very inexpensive numerical data instead of a full blown new bitmap (like with enemy variants in classic jRPG's) or create a function that would modify the color cyclically on the fly to create cool effects like halos, waterfalls, metallic reflections, etc.

It's a neat technique, and it's mostly gone in modern game development because most engines have no color limitations at all and just use true color bitmaps

thanks, I'm gonna look into that.

I have the FDS version, if you still need it when you see this just ask and I can rip it for you

Thanks, the download process is kind of annoying even with adblock, but I got it.

It's cool, thanks though

They reconciled themselves by creating dixie

I dunno, but her theme is so good

I never listened to the full thing until the other day, since I always made a save quick, never got to listen to it in full before, such a great theme. Well, like all of the soundtrack really, but listening to this one complete was like discovering a new track on an already great soundtrack.

>>4109828
same here, yeah

Yes, and it broke my external hdd sitting next to it.

>>4109310
No, it's still with the blue shadow over it.

Dreamcast

Epoch Casette Vision

Either the PS2 version or N64. The PS version is okay, despite the graphics being downgraded, but it has a playable 2D level.

I bought the game from the bargain bin just for the music. Despite the gameplay being meh, the music alone made it better. I think it uses the Genesis sound chips well, which very few can do.

2 things...

1. I always loved Accolade games for Genesis

2. Genesis did terrible voices but fantastic chiptunes. Why?

I always saw lots of ads for soul reaver back in the day but for some reason never got around to getting it.

Chuchu Rocket : the best multiplayer game since bomberman

Just emulate it through MAME. It also got mostly arcade-perfect ports for the Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2 and 3DS. As a last resort, the GBA version.

Sega Ages on Saturn. The Genesis port isn't terrible though. Check out Turbo OutRun and OutRunners if you want to see what a bad port looks like.

Seems very miniscule.

What a strange and unusual story.

Next time don't leave your valuables inside a giant fire hazard.
