It's similar to nostalgia, it makes you feel warm and comfortable, imagining you are there.

>>4044970
>comfy to play?

Games where you remain relaxed while playing AKA comfortable.

Oh so you watched that loser's Pippin review too.

Escape Velocity

It's a play on the japanese word Warui which means bad.

I remember being hype for this character...
And then he never appeared in any worthwhile games.

Camelot needed another character for their tennis game roster, so instead of coming up with another human character they decided to create a lame "bad" version of Luigi.

>>4056112
you thought you were on /a/

>>4056112
That it's a pretty neat game but gets a bit stale later on but when you fight Satan it gets pretty cool.

>>4056158
I'm taking a break from playing it for a while, translating japanese is a lot of hardwork.

>implying a guy named Darkwater would be that shallow a character

>knock on my mother-in-laws head

>>4055118
I thought you kids liked irony

>>4054805
You shut your whore mouth, SCI0 games and their EGA+OPL presentation are comfy as fuck. It's just as worth playing as the others. However, you'll probably be more put off by the autistic rules of the series than the grayfix in any of them

They are pretty good games, but they're also really difficult and sometimes ridiculously unfair. I think the old PQ games look awesome, especially the second one with all those bright colors and significantly more detailed sprites than in the first one.

>>4054805
>Looks really bad..

I don't think these games are for you anon.

>>4054648
Well obviously you like the joy card, because you use it. But how does it compare to a standard pad?

>>4054653
Honestly not that different but it looks sexy and has two turbo settings for each button

I'm just using the built-in controllers on my Twin Famicom but if I ever decide I need turbo I'll look into that Joycard

Castlevania and Mad Stalker

>>4054523
I'll check out Mad Stalker. CV was on PS1, so it doesn't count as an exclusive in my opinion. I know Nemesis '90 barely counts, but it's at least a remake of a game on another system.

Even when it's possible to play them you still miss out on a lot.
Just learn the basics so you don't regret it later.

Best DJ or Best DJ?

>>4054289
I'm gonna go with or.

PLEASE

Not retro but the first two Megaman Zero are similar to Zelda 2

if you haven't already, play wonder boy 3 or the remake that was just released

Sorcerian
Princess Crown
Symphony of the Night
Ys 3

16 bit Windows programs tend to run fine on 32 bit Windows but 64 bit Windows refuses to run them.

>>4053314
I obviously have a 64 bit system.

why does it run fine on mine?

>>4053325
Possible that you have a Windows 95 version of the game? Try running it on Windows 3.

>>4053010
Good question.
Don't often see pinball discussed either.

>>4053014
There's usually one pinball thread on the board at a time. >>4045065

The IGT S+ machine I own is from 1994 but the newer S2000 and Vision machines are more recent even though the basic tech is the same.

Just drag and drop the game exe into the dosbox icon. Should mount automatically.

Just properly edit your autoexec bat.

>>4052964
There's several front-ends available that will let you create and save configurations for each game. You should be using one of them if you are serious about using Dosbox.
