Who really won the fourth gen in terms of overall library quality?
We never had this thread before.
>>4061571
because most people haven't played a pc engine apart from Rondo, Splatterhouse or Ys
I think general opinion would be SNES>=Genesis>PCE
Personally, I go for
SNES>=PCE>Genesis
I have a strong preference for platformers, with shooters second. I like PCE more than Genny because of its action RPG's and shooters
>>4061568
PC Engine, duh. Even if all you had was the port of Elite it'd be the best of the three.
So I heard that Virtual Console has a modified version of NES Donkey Kong that restores the missing stage.
Is this available as a rom anywhere? Google isn't helping me much.
Never heard of a modified NES version, but you can play the original arcade DK on DK64.
Try looking for Donkey Kong Original Edition. I believe that's what it's called.
>>4060978
Ayyo why did they remove that stage in the first place
Is it cheating? It does give you an /advantage/.
Had one, only ever used it for Pinball. Preferred a D-Pad for pretty much any game.
I hate holding down a sprint button on an arcade controller.
If platformers always had sprinting enabled then I would always use an arcade controller.
Maybe it's because I never used one and I'm not much of an arcade guy, but I can't imagine any scenario where this thing would be comfortable to use.
hey /vr/, I finished final fantasy 3 the other day (great game btw) and now i'm looking for other games with the job system and regular turn based combat.
ffv, dqiii, ff tactics
Not retro, but try Bravely Default and Bravely Second, which is identical to FF3 is so many ways.
if we're talking non-retro, try FF: 4 Heroes of Light
I'll start.

Which LOLO was the best?
>>4060197
Revival of the Labyrinth
>>4060197
Eggerland 3
Definitely 3, it has so much polish and gameplay. I hardly remember 2 but I know Lolo 1 is short as balls. Lolo 3 was like made late in the NES lifespan from what I remember.

How do I get this, don't tell me this is some sort of elaborate ruse?
>>4060179
Alright. It's not an elaborate ruse.It's a joke, and your futile efforts to obtain the unobtainable are the punchline.
Which do you guys prefer? I like the more straight-forward nature of II. 3's puzzles are pretty nuts in places.
I like VB and 1. 2 and 3 were too casualized by making you immortal.
I gotta go with 3. I love games where you have to backtrack to earlier levels with new abilites. People say it artificially lengthens the game, but I disagree I think it adds mystery to the experience when you see an area you can't reach yet.
>>4059952
would be interesting to see a strawpoll on this
I know some of these games arent /vr/ but I've posted this in /v/ 4 times with no responses:
Finally finished Lost Crown, fun game but awfully slow.By far the best moments are pic related.
What are other good adventure P&C style games? Can be true point and click, or 3D roaming.
I searched on steam and i guess it falls under the "indie adventure" category. Game demos I've played; Shadow over Isolation, The Land of Pain, and Dishonored
Others I've played:
Scratches
Barrow Hill
Penumbra
Titanic Adventure out of time
Black Mirror
various agatha christie games
Mummy (interplay)
Frankenstein (interplay)
Darkness Within
>>4059881
>I searched on steam
not retro
>Titanic Adventure out of time
>Mummy (interplay)
>Frankenstein (interplay)
are the rest all modern 3d roaming?
forget steam, theres tons of adventures from 90s early 2000s
>Myst
the 90s version is PnC, then there is a remake in free roaming style
>lucas arts adventures
full throttle, do that one first pretty rad story
>sierra adventures
quite short, might be nice for emulations in dosbox on your mobile
emulators: dosbox, PCem, scummVM
the games you find ar archive.org or isozone
and then theres the AGS adventure engine, a free engine and a site filled with hundreds of amateur games,
>>4059881
Fran Bow is a must play.
>>4060452
NOT. RETRO.
I HAVE LOST 51 LIVES ON FUMBLING IN THE DARK AND STILL GOING FUCK THIS HELL LEVEL
Completing platformers is stressful, fuck selling that shit to little kids.
>>4059606
I managed to lose all 99 on that one
slippery climb is NOTHING compared to fumbling in the dark
>>4059616
I went in with 99 and am currently on 44, I unironically hope whoever made this level gets tortured to death
Do you recommend skipping the MSX Metal Gear games and starting with MGS1 for someone who wants to play the Metal Gear series for the first time?
>>4059567
MGS1 to 3 is great. Terrible after that unless you like modern gaming style run and gun.
Also watch Escape from New York.
Yes, read the recap in the menu in MGS1, that's sufficient for starters.
Have fun with the series.
Games that had 10/10 soundtracks

This
Trying to beat this game for the first time, I'm no platforming master though and keep dying to the Hammer Bros on 5-2. Any tips or advice?
This game is not that hard. Why is this a meme now? Fucking dodge. It's not that hard.
The only levels that are even slightly challenging are in World 8. The game gets boring quick with a little practice.
There already is a thread about this here >>4059028 .
http://www.nesmaps.com/maps/SuperMarioBrothers/SuperMarioBrosWorld5-2Map.html
Use that first mushroom block.
It's time to settle this once and for all.
