I often see people say that Samus was the first female video game protagonist. Is that true, or was there a playable character who originated in video games before her?

Ms. Pac Man
>>4076363
No but she is the first notable female protagonist.
Dunno maybe the game Nintendo ripped off, Baraduke?
Capcom games have also been scrubbed, is this an end of an era?
For what? You gave me a spook but I checked the PS1 titles and they're still there at least

what is bit-torrent?
Torrented full sets years ago. There's really no reason not to have don't this by now.
Let's have a thread dedicated to the best genre of RPG, what ones were the best? which ones did things differently then others? What were some of your favorite characters that you made? Etc etc

Interesting game, this one.

Ulimta Underworld
Dungeon Master
Wizardry
Shining in the Darkness was good

He's talking about the strange all-over-the-place level design.
I kinda like it, myself. Makes it stand out, even though it's weird as fuck.

How accurate are those repro boxes you can get on Etsy? Is it easy to tell they aren't genuine?
If you're that lazy about ripping people off you may as well stop now, summer.

I'm looking for boxes to buy for myself

Master System thread.
What are the best games for this console and why are they Sonic?
Sonic is overrated. I'd rather play Alex the Kidd in Shinobi/Miracle World.
>>4083637
Moonwalker
The Ninja
Streets of Rage
Alex Kidd games
Out Run Europe
>>4084446
>Streets of Rage
really?
While mention of them is common I can't remember the last time a actual thread was made for the series.
Chrono series thread. Fortunately all three(ish) games are retro and can be discussed.
Damn, no one wants to talk about the chrono series?

There's CT threads all the time, it's one of the most popular JRPGs there is. You aren't really bringing anything new to the table with your OP.
Just picked this game up yesterday. It seems to me that if you're incapable of death, then enemies are only there to annoy you and waste your time - and indeed, everything DOES.
>>4081972
You still "die" by getting transported back to an earlier part of the level.
>>4081991
Only during boss fights, isn't it?
>>4081972
Wario land 2 has the same mechanics.
You are supposed to use the tranformations to get ahead and collect secrets,
Is this the quintessential puzzle game?
Yeah, sure why not. Whatever.
Did anyone ever write a guide on how to git gud at columns?

You need a guide to get good at Tetris?
definitive best run and guns on genesis/mega drive:
1) contra: hard corps
2) gunstar heroes
3) robocop versus terminator
there is no possible way that this list can be disputed, with rational arguments. /thread. mods, please sticky this thread due to its unassailable correctness.
Hard Corps is a mess and the weapons kind of suck
Alien Soldier is actually good so maybe start with that one
>>4081347
The one with the three dinosaurs. I think one wore sunglasses.
>>4081347
Midnight Resistance is pretty great, you should think about your #3.
Also I like Chelnov/Atomic Runner a lot.
I think Gunstar Heroes has amazing boss fights but the regular levels are boring (a common thread in Treasure games).
Sometimes when i want to play an old game i like to create an overlay for it.
Post here any nice overlay that you have
I did this one for the Final Fantasy Origins (ps1)
This one i copied from the Seiken Densetsu Collection (Switch)
That's neat op, you mind sharing the download links?
check your emails guys, i believe public orders are now available as i type this. $197 shipped, with remote and universal ac adapter. and ossc discussion thread i guess. i actually dont know anything about this thing, anyone who have one want to tell me how it is, how they use it and if its worth the $200 asking price?
Will this batch be the latest hardware revision with embedded audio?
>>4079217
forgot link

>>4079220
it's not. i actually dont know anything about it aside from its a good 'scaler' (im aware its not the same as an xrgb mini and that its a line doubler, functions pretty much the same as one tho)
>>4079229
it appears so.
>>Convert analogue audio to digital DVI/HDMI *NEW* – Analogue audio from your retro games console will be converted to digital audio and injected into the HDMI/DVI output (requires compatible TV, processor or AV receiver. Analogue audio output is still available for setups where this is required).
anyone used this on a 4K tv?
I'm curious as to whether it's better to use line triple mode (since 720p scales neatly 4K as an integer) or line quintuple mode (since there's less upscaling required by the TV from 1200p to 4K).
Is the success rate pretty high when it comes to being able to use this with SNES on HDTV's?
Which neurological disorder causes people to struggle with the controls in this game?
when people criticize the game they usually mention the camera, not the controls
>>4077753
which neurological disorder causes people to struggle with the camera in this game?
or are they just too retarded to read the manual/signs to learn how it works?
R+C-down fixes literally everything.
A severe case of being a fucking casual.
