Hey guys, I've got a free summer coming up and I'm planning on spending a good bit of it playing through some old 4th and 5th gen era rpgs and similar such games that I for whatever reason never got around to trying out. Here's what I have so far:
>Lufia 2
>Legend of Dragoon
>Vagrant Story
>Alundra
>Suikoden 2
>Terranigma
Do you guys any other good recommendations? I'm looking mostly for games similar to these, and similar to games I've already played like Xenogears, PS1 FF games, etc

Yeah, I recommend only handling Terranigma and Lufia II with gloves and eye protection on at all times.

Remove Vagrant Story, add Wild Arms 1 & 2 and Paper Mario.

I already played those

I'm sure it's /vr/ in one way or another. It came out on PCs first on hardware that's retro? Probably doesn't count.
"Honorary retro" is a term I've heard used here.

It is officially accepted as /vr/, so feel free to talk about DX here.

They are still around and probably still come out at the same rate they did 20-25 years ago.

does mega man play better on the TV or on a handheld? Debating whether or not I should get the Legacy Collection on 3DS or track down the Anniversary Collection for GameCube.

Don't get Anniversary Collection on GCN. B is jump, A is shoot, and you can't remap the controls.

Which platform should I get it for?

I missed this game because it required a 3D accelerator card, which at the time I didn't have. Is it worth playing for the first time today?

Hey, /vr/, hope someone has some idea about this.
I've reconnected with an acquaintance I've known for a decade now and the guy does music, and just recently got in the swing of using trackers to compose more faithful sounding BGM.
However, something may be up that requires a more SNes-styled sound for us to colaborate on, and I can't find anything - one needs Linux to compile a Windows version, and another has everything, even the source, down. Needless to say I'm unfortunately not a programmer to know how to build stuff.
Anyone has builds or can give any direction? Any help welcome.
Nina not related, but easy on the eye.

How about going full retro and actually buying a sequencer?
The QY700 would be pretty good for a SNES-like sound or 90s video game sound in general.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMQZlPAuuXM
The sound quality on this is pretty bad because it's ripped from a cassette, but you get the idea.
>>
>>3954709
If you want to half-ass it, the "vox" format ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogic_ADPCM ) sounds a lot like SNES BRR and it was popular a long time ago so there's still software that supports it, eg. sox (see https://superuser.com/questions/140276/how-to-convert-mp3-into-vox-file-format-in-linux-unix )
Keep the total sample size below 64K (or much lower in practice because cartridge space was expensive) and use no more than 8 channels and it will sound SNES-like.

>The appeal of shooting games, for most, is the opportunity to prove you are more skilled than the opponent.
That's elitist and it stops the community from growing any larger.

One of those game series which is desperately needs a rerelease.
I'd die a happy man being able to play this game with HOTAS and a VR headset.

hey /vr/, redpill me on JA. I know there are a couple of games that are great and a couple that aren't really worth playing, but I've heard there are also mods that are more or less necessary for a couple of them. How into jagged alliance?
