So the other day I went to the carnival and they had a cool looking space invaders arcade game with a huge vertical monitor. You used those guns you see nowadays for rail-shootan arcade games and shoot the invaders. It was totally wicked.

Every chest contains a trap: The game.

There are literally 0 ports that are superior on N64.

This is DOPE

>sixth generation are also more then welcome
You re missing the point of this board.

>walk a few feet away from monitor
>still can see the scanlines

Nah, it's still a shitty shader and doesn't, will never look like a real CRT.

>>4063904
who says the ideal is to look like a CRT? its simply another way of hiding the horrible scaling artifacts on an LCD.

>>4063904
not saying its as good as a CRT, but it is much much better (especially in motion) than a flat LCD

Hardware gimmicks don't compensate for limited memory especially on one screen games.

>>4063846
The NES is limited hardware wise and is inferior to the arcade board especially since the board was created for the game unlike the NES which was just created for 8 bit games.

The NES was a hundred dollar console and arcade machines were a few thousand dollars.

Better than any other home port until Dk64.

Joust. Love it, even own the arcade machine, as well as Joust 2. Chasing and beating your high scores is fun.

I love vector games so much. So happy to have a Vectrex.

>>4063745
Tempest and Starwars are two of my favorite

>>4063797
Also a big joust fan. But making player 2 cry is more fun than scores.

>>4063236
It only has a handful of exclusives (Panzer Dragoon series notably), everything else are poor arcade conversions that you'd have an easier time playing on MAME.

But hey, if you want to play Metal Slug running at 8fps with half the animation missing, be my guest.

>>4063239
At least you won't have to deal with the horrid Input Lag on MAME and the ass backwards anti-user ROM system.

>>4063239 is right about Panzer Dragoon series, give these a try.
Saga is stupidly expensive but just mod your Saturn.
He's wrong about Saturn having poor arcade conversions, they were always praised, and MAME is still emulation so you don't want to deal with all that laggy shit.
The console versions of these fighters have some extra features that the arcade originals lack, and if you have a buddy who also enjoys fighting games, Saturn is the best couch co-op console for them, besides Neo Geo.
If you want the best of the best on Saturn you'll need a RAM cart, games like Vampire Savior and Street Fighter Alpha 3 use it.
Saturn also has good SNK fighters like Real Bout Special, Fatal Fury 3, KOF.
Those games are all pretty inexpensive in their japanese versions.
Then there are ports of games that don't use the extra RAM; so they are missing a few frames of animation, but still pretty legit, and much better than the PS1 ports, games like SFA 2/Street Fighter Collection, Night Warriors (this one has full animation for mirror matches), great ports that play like the arcade originals and look virtually the same, and again inexpensive on their japanese editions.

I can't think of many games that focuses into the world as DQ does. Travelling to new towns is actually fun instead of 'plot required'.

>>4063073
You're only here to start a fight.

Back in the day it was very groundbreaking, but today it's nothing special. It doesn't help that the latest 4 or 5 entries make a point of being as nostalgic and classical as possible. Its overall contribution to the genre is insane though.

IV does some interesting things with narrative that I haven't seen replicated before.

>>4062524
Battletoads

>>4062538
/thread, nice going OP

Anyone who says arcade Battletoads is following a meme. NES Battletoads seamlessly blends so many adjacent styles of gameplay to make such a flawlessly great experience. The only other game that comes close to that arcade pick up and play action is Battletoads & Double Dragon.

Seeing shining force included on there makes me cry, good times

I collect tapes.
Would like to own that thing.

I can't kill the final boss

>>4062034
you have to either, use your special attack at just the right angle to hit him or just block his fireballs the shield you should have reflects them and despite being a giant ass demon he is actually WEAK to his own magic

I bought this on gog years a go, looked like garbage compared to when I played it near release so I haven't bothered much with it. I'll have to check out the re release.

>>4060930
agree

>>4060930
it's all in your head

I played it that way 20 years ago.

Calling it the greatest game of all time is quite the stretch, but I do love the Marathon games. I just wish M2 and M3 had background music during the levels. It made many of the levels kinda boring to play imo.

>>4059391
tfw aleph one is shit

Playing the first game on Mac using a modern WASD setup would not be bad if it wasn't for the fact that looking down stops the player. M1A1 is more enjoyable (despite literally being a "duct tape" hack job)

At least M2 is more tolerable, but you still have to use the keyboard to alternate fire.

I actually enjoy playing infinity on my G3 than playing it on A1.
