Sigh... we'll never have a proper follow up to Super Metroid, will we?

I first played this game probably about 15 years ago, but me and my brother were only able to finish it using console commands and the gem glitch, plus other exploits like exporting a character from the tutorial in Candlekeep. At that time cheats were a novelty (gta III had just come out), so we weren't that inclined to beat the game fair and square.
So this time around I want to finish the game but without any of that shit, I actually want to learn the game mechanics and I want to learn how to build a good character and a good party whose abilities synergize well together.
I know the later dungeons get incredibly hard so any tips or build ideas would be welcome and since I've beat the game before you can't really spoil it for me so spoilers welcome.
I'm leaning towards just a plain old fighter play through, since I think it is the easiest class by far, but I've always wanted to do a mage playthrough, but mage class I always found to be hard as hell especially because of the spell casting limit and the chance to fail to copy spells down when trying to learn them ( not to mention how hard spell scrolls are hard to come by)

Does anyone know where I could find the original DOS version of Wizardry 1, namely the one where the inspect glitch is possible?
Also, Wizardry games thread I guess.

Playstation codes question:

I remember ages ago playing Suikoden II. I found a GS/CB/etc code that affected game speed. If I pressed L2, the game speed went up drastically. And when I pressed R2, the game speed went back to normal. Here's the lines of code:

D006211C 0001
800E3574 0001
D006211C 0002
800E3574 FFE9

My guess is these are 2 Joker commands. My question is: since joker commands are universal, are game speed up/normal codes universal as well? Or, does every game have their own version of a speed up/normal code(s)? I'm trying to engineer a way to have this feature as a joker command for any/all PSX games.

Does anyone still use them for your Game Boys? I want one that works for Gen 1 and Gen 3

If I buy a GBA link cable will it work on GB games like Pokemon Red?

Can pokemon red on GBA trade with a Gameboy Color Pokemon Red?

Also any good brands recommended

I've searched, in vain, to find traces of the Castlevania 1-3 devs. No one, not even the Japanese, have any info on them.

It might take some people in Japan trying to hunt them down.

I've gone through facebook pages with similar names, but there are simply too many it's a needle in a haystack without any additional clues, and there's no guarantee they'd even be on facebook.

A lot of these game devs in the 80's were kids right out of University, so they were 20-30, which would make them 50-60 now. So they're likely still around and not dead.

Hi /vr/!

I tried asking at /v/ for that but nobody gave me answer, so I figured that "retro games" board might be better place to aska bout classic M&M.

Which M&M should I buy at current GOG sale - 7 or 8? I already own 6. Or both are pretty similar?

Thanks for replies and sorry if thread is in wrong place. If thats the case, please just delete it.

Thanks again.

Anyone know any other retro games from the 8 or 16 bit era that was written in a compiled language such as C?

For example, I know that Sonic Spinball and Rockman Mega World was written in C, and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of well known homebrew games that were written in the same language as well.

What are some games that you enjoyed at the time or found impressive, but due to the passage of time and advancements in gameplay and graphics, you find upon playing them in this day and age that you do not enjoy the controls in comparison to control schemes that came afterwards, find that the gameplay was more tolerable when there were not games that do its concepts better than it, or that the art style and graphics are no longer visually appealing as the art style cannot stand on its own merits once they no longer have the advantage of being considered cutting edge and are not automatically impressive as a result?

What games did you enjoy at the time but don't like when you come back to them now, or in other words what games aged poorly?
