How do you feel about the superior DQ clone since the days of FF? I'm gonna dump some screenshots
The irony here is that originally the magic candle was an Ultima clone. But it recognizes no borders when it comes to copy mechanics.
Hi /vr/ can you recommend me some games that play similar to the original x68000 Castlevania game? example: Slow 2d platforming, avoiding traps, progressively more difficult.
>>3958210
Metroid.

ActRaiser 2
>>3958224
Decent list, but missing a lot. Like, Konami's HunterxHunter.

Finished playing it through for the first time in years earlier. Apart from the other N64 sequel and a few JP only ones what happened to the series after 2005?
Never see it around any more despite the potential for more on new platforms. I thought it sold pretty well too didn't it?
>>3958150
I recall it being more obscure actually, only sold like 360k copies at a quick googling.
I only played it a few times, didn't even own it, had to borrow it from a friend. Definitely a hidden gem in my opinionato.
Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKQbqyMDOLQ
wasn't there a Goemon game on SNES? Was it good?
>>3958196
Yeah, it got ported on to VC as well. Thought it was pretty good, hard at times but generally well above average for a SNES platformer.
What games must you beat in order to truly become a man?
Pic related, beat it yesterday and have never been more proud of myself.
Driver for PS1
princess maker 2
>>3958142
You know, I liked this game as a kid. It's just really hard to get excited about it now having since played the real sequel on the MSX that we never got.

i want to program multiplayer part of fps game. How much things change since quake,hl ?
Man, playing without the taller HUD feels weird.
Holy shit.
>>3958020
Is that Myst?
>>3958024
Riven, the sequel, with one of the trickiest and sneakiest puzzles on this screen alone. No explicit spoilers from me.
>>3958026
I didn't play much Riven, I was like 6 when I played Myst and that just
That was just too much for me. I was content hopping back over to Math Blaster and Descent.
What the hell am I playing?
The last thing I expected was to be given a personality test at the start.
>Thought the questions were over, get told to turn left on a fork.
Of course I would go right first so that I don't miss any chests.
>Get berated by the game for several screens, dubbing me a Selfish Hero
Fuck you.
lol, was this added to the SNES remake? I only played the original.

Do people really complain about the PSX having full-screen dithering?
I find itCharming
>>3957609
>Charming
Just emulate without dithering, with 32 bit colors...
COME ON BABY!
COME ON BABY!
>>3957609
There wasn't a 3D chip back then that didn't use dithering. 32-bit rendering didn't come viable until later.
What are some good, online multiplayer retro PC games to play with friends?
All my friends from college don't really like older games, but there's got to be some that are easy to get into, not too hard on the eyes graphics-wise, and not too clunky controls-wise.
I was thinking stuff like maybe Diablo II, a private PSOBB server, or my favorite - Battlefront II. Any other recommendations?
Please respond.
age of empires 2
Diablo 2
Sacred
Funmaps on Starcraft or WC3
Rune
Alien versus Predator
homeworld
tribes
duke nukem ?
If your friends dont like retro..thats bad. You gotta find out what they could like.
Worms: Armageddon
OpenRA (Red Alert)
HoMM3
is last blade good?
>>3957505
It's good, but there isn't really a scene for it, like most older fighting games that aren't street fighter.
>>3957505
last blade 2 is and you can always find players on fightcade, unfortunately it has some broken issues which is why it's not competition present anymore.
>>3957505
Shit yeah
So I start emulation games on my phone,I could run pretty much any game I missed when I was a kid but I'm playing through DQ3 atm and the visuals are fucking great holy shit am I playing an current indie title?There's detail everywhere to the stone paths,trees and even animations for enemies,while being so damn colorful.
Any other jrpgs of note?
Fire emblem 3-5
Bahamut Lagoon
Live a Live
>JRPG
Play an RPG that matters, made by Western studios.
>>3958341
gay list, pal.
Why is VRC6 so loud on the AV Famicom? Is there a way to fix it? I've read that changing a resistor might be the fix, but I'm not sure which one. Have you guys tried this?
It's a known "issue". Nintendo lowered the CPU audio volume on later red and white Famicom board revisions, which makes expansion audio louder by comparison. That change was carried over to the AV Famicom as well.
I haven't tried this myself, but supposedly you can play with these resistor values to adjust the CPU audio volume.

>>3957282
>>3957478
the better and easier way is to restore the original circuit.
note that a 74HCT04 should be used as some 74HC will only output 3.3v and the result will be the same.
>>3958131
It might be better, but I don't think that qualifies as "easier" than changing a couple of resistors.
Did anyone find it weird that Edea still looked like this when she wasn't possessed by Ultimecia anymore and briefly joined your party? Why didn't she change to her casual clothes? Her true personality doesn't fit this look at all.
And why does Ultimecia look so dirty? Even as Edea she looks like she has dirt all over her face.
Because Final Fantasy 8 was the start of the Squeenix trainwreck, and project quality took a nose-dive as it ensued.
What you are seeing are just some of the numerous developer oversights and plotholes in this game.
You have to admit it's a pretty spiffy look though. I'd keep it for a bit.
The only time you see her in casual clothes were in flashbacks from a decade before the game. This is how she looks during the main story, possessed or not.
Who's up for a quick round of Metal slug 3 on fightcade? Also what else do you guys use? I can't seem to in2 port-forwarding for Mamehub.
i would but im in SE Europe
>>3957175
That's okay, I'm good now. played one and a half games. WHY IS LEVEL 8 DIFFICULTY THE DEFAULT!? Gonna complain.
Where can I find the sets for fightcade ROMs?
What does /vr/ think of Chocobo Racing?
>>3956905
It's fucking stupid, CTR is better.
>>3956905
Never played it.
I love it, I know its kinda mediocre but the ost and the magic stone system brings enough joy for me but I wish it had more tracks and a 4 player mode.
