On it.
*Based off of the Riftwar series, written by an excellent author and with lots of input. Very faithful to the source material.
*Well-written, to the point where the original author novelised it himself with minimal changes to the original script.
*Nice music, even sounds good on PC speaker.
*Surprisingly open world, especially in the first few "chapters". Things done in one chapter can affect subsequent chapters, especially if you're ambitious in exploring early on.
*Interesting combat system with a good amount of tactical options for what it is, especially when it comes to magic.
*Glorious MS Paint houses mixed with professional portraits and surprisingly detailed combat sprites.
*Chests with locks opened by solving riddles, most of which are pretty interesting and only one (iirc) that requires in-world knowledge to solve.
*PC attributes increase by usage, can be selected for special training.
I could go on. It's one of the best DOS RPGs out there, hands down.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask on but I just installed a Commodore 64 emulator and after the initial load times and intro it takes forever to load games.
Is there a way to speed the load times up or does the emulator also emulate the floppy speed?

>amazing weapons, almost every one entirely unique and with two distinct functions
>graphics that pushed hardware to the limit and rival early 6th gen games
>fantastic music spanning everything from rock and jazz to techno and industrial
>controls can be configured in any way you desire (even using two fucking controllers for dual-analog if you so choose)
>lengthy single-player campaign with difficulty settings that actually change the levels rather just making enemies harder
>insane single-player features, too. augment the experience with various cheats, bring AI companions with you, even have another player take on the role of the enemy AI and play against you
>unbelievable multiplayer mode. tons of great maps, dozens of weapons, unlockables galore, support for up to 4 players and 8 AI opponents, customizable AI personalities, customizable music, player profiles and stat tracking, the fucking works.
>insane attention to detail. each character model has a unique set of hands viewable when holding guns, etc.
Perfect Dark is, in my opinion, the best first person shooter ever made. The overwhelming variety, attention to detail, wealth of content and frenetic gameplay is unmatched. Contrarians will shit on this game for framerate or simply by nature of not being on PC and not having mods/online, but these are silly complaints when you consider just how fucking good this game is and how much Rare was able to accomplish with a 5th gen system. To this day, nothing approaches the masterpiece that is Perfect Dark.

It's good, for a 5th gen FPS designed for console, and it's one of the better N64 games, but I don't think it's the best FPS ever made.

Timesplitters is hot trash compared to Perfect Dark. Its only real claim to fame is a few decent story missions and the mapmaker mode, in every other way it offers less of just about everything. It doesn't even have hands holding the guns... pathetic.
>>
>>4250126
TimeSplitters 2 was fun, but it felt like a step backwards;
Reload animations were back to the simple GoldenEye style;
Story felt very light and unimportant;
You could see that they weren't pushing the hardware the way they did with the N64 games, although maybe since that's because they prioritised framerate;
Aiming (at least on Gamecube) was super jerky/over-sensitive
Overall felt low-budget
Future Perfect felt like a more natural progression from Perfect Dark, and a better single player game

Is it possible to take the output from something like a SNES mini (HDMI) and feed it into an old CRT monitor?
I think I could get it all to fit with various adapters but I'm guessing there's not going to be a 15Khz signal at the end of it unless there is circuitry somewhere in the cable?

How do you shop for retro games?
Unfortunately, I only have one used game store in my area that sells retro titles, and their selection is overpriced and limited. As a result, I'm mostly having to resort to online shopping to make my purchases. I've tried using apps like LetGo, but most of the items posted are either in poor condition or are massively overpriced.
Although I use Amazon quite frequently for other types of purchases, I don't really like using it for buying games because the listings rarely have detailed photos of the item being sold and I'm afraid that I'm going to buy something that will show up in poor condition. So far, I feel like I've had the most success with eBay. It usually takes some time to find a decent listing from a reputable seller at a decent price, but I can usually find what I'm looking for if I give it some time and check back regularly. I also like that a lot of sellers post multiple, high-quality pictures of the items being sold. So what do you guys use? Any other eBay users here, or am I a sucker for using them? Are there any reputable online shops dedicated to selling retro titles in good condition?

It's honestly not even that bad for the time.

Delphine Software were known for their cinematic platformers, like Flashback. Shaq Fu is basically a cinematic fighter. One of a kind game.

It controls better with a genesis controller, as for the version I can't help you I haven't played the Snes version

Why did none of the other Monster raising/battling games survive the 90's other than Pokemon. I like the early Pokemon games, and Gold/Silver/Crystal were great games. However, I always enjoyed Dragon Quest Monsters more, and pic related was a fantastic game. I've just always been disappointed that Pokemon was the only one to survive.
Or if you don't want to discuss that I'd be fine just talking about how great Monster Rancher 2 is.

Digimon and yugioh survived. Card games are like DnD. It was done right the the first time.
>>
Because Pokemon was always portable and multiplayer-oriented
>>
>>4259824
I forgot Digimon, but then again Digimon outside of the first World (and even that wasn't my taste) were third rate for a long time until just recently. Yugioh isn't a monster raising game, so I don't know what you're on about.
>>4259825
I don't know if that is the only reason or even the biggest reason because Dragon Quest Monsters had both of those aspects.

Was this some sort of rejected MGS spinoff?

As a young teenager, I wouldn't play this because naked man at beginning of game who I assumed was protagonist, but then gets shot by some guy. You then begin playing the game as the random shooter.
I just turned it off.

I found it amazing. Actually, the platforming sucks, but the fights were amazing.
I want to create a game with a similar battle system, but I can't do it alone as I'm most a 3D modeler.
