It disappeared because it was a shitty OP.
I'm not looking forward to the remake, don't really like it's visual style.

Also, I'll repeat my question, for those who have played both versions of Monster Lair, what's better, Genesis or TG16?

the most annoying part of that game is that you have to stop or jump to get the coins when you kill an enemy. it completely ruins the rhythm. still looking forward to the remake because of dat OST

The MD version is not bad. but all the sprites are redrawn into a total different artstyle.
No more fatso glorious designs. Everything is skinnier on MD? I like the game but the definitive port go for the PCE

Depends on your definition of "good." It's a very fun one, with interesting characters and nice visuals. If you think a good fighting game is one that's well-balanced for the sake of competitive play, then I have no idea how Waku Waku 7 stands up.

Fuck yeah it is

>>3939223
Go look it up real quick so we know.

Giving a pity bump.

Only know it for that fucking ending. I don't if they were planning an ending but that ending is a bummer.

>>3940238
whats wrong with the ending?

>>3940435
The main character fails and is emprisoned, kimd of a bummer.

watch?v=r75Lz1Drp8g

combos require no timing. just execute then as fast as you can and search for shortcuts at executing them.

Example: if a combo is down+forward kick followed by a QCF kick you make it like this

Start the QCF motion, when its at DF position press kick and when it goes to F position press kick again. I hope you understood.

Why even live: the thread

How can one git gud in this day and age?

Get a sony crt free on craigslist, it will save you some hassle

That adapter (whatever the fuck it's supposed to do) won't even plug into a famicom. You need something that has an RCA male plug on one end and whatever connector the analog tuner in your TV takes on the other.

You see mixed shit on power because the internet is full of underage fucks with no experience who parrot what other underage fucks with no experience say. You can plug your jap AC adapter into your US mains and it will work fine. I have shit I've been using like this for 30 years.

The ED can play any properly done romhack. But you can get a buttload of famicom games for the price of the ED. Personally I didn't bother with the ED but I do have other things. Multicarts, old copiers, etc.

>You need something that has an RCA male plug on one end and whatever connector the analog tuner in your TV takes on the other.
Also something to deal with the issue that the Famicom's RF is tuned to "around" channel 95, meaning you're liable to run into issues getting it to actually tune to the proper channel.

More bothersome, but you might want to look into modding it for composite(assuming your HDTV still has composite) and just skip the RF adapter all together.

Any game with a cover where three ppl share a single space suit helmet buried on Mars with that kind of expression is definitely worth a go.

I liked it. Played the PC version though. The enemies never die permanently (minus a couple exceptions) and they start getting back up after "killing" them ridiculously fast towards the end of the game. The black guy can actually mash fast enough to not be hurt by normal "zombies" when they grab you so it's best to do your dirty work with him unless you're forced to use someone else.

I heard it's pretty good

Sure, dude. The original trilogy, CD, the two adventure games on the dreamcast... They're solid.

Never good. Passable at best.

This. Sonic was a series.

there's some here.

I hope I can dig through all the shit and find good content

>>3938053
monkey island, zelda, and Deus ex devs are there. It's not bad.

If you like resident evil definitely check this out

>>3937928
i liked it a lot even tho i had to finish it like 4 times to get all the content out of it. if you finish the game once you really dont get much info.

RE3>RE2>Vampires>RE1

It's bretty good. Not enough bossfights though. Beating regular enemies involves shooting at it until it dies before it comes into melee.

Concepts are hit and miss. I liked the tranqualizer and money. Some weapons are cool. Too easy, ammo gets abundant fast, you can rape any enemy on screen. Still it had cool music and immersion was better than first RE.

Would you like to try emulating first?

PS1's good games are pricey, but will only get pricier, I suggest that.

SNES's best games are kind of the same way, I say get an everdrive though.

Nes/famicom are still relatively easy to buy for. I just got into 8 bit stuff, and have been buying NES and fami stuff depending on which versions are cheaper and how much text you need to play them. Boxed fami games are under 20 bucks a lot of the time.

Buy a fucking flash cart or just emulate. Don't fall for the collecting meme.

If ordering off the internet, mint/like new is the lowest I'm willing to go simply because of how many fucking times I haven't been able to get a refund. If I'm buying a used game at a brick and mortar store or from someone selling off their games, and it's a little dinged up, I will ask to test it on proper hardware with them present. If they say no, or it's past light damage to the disk, I will not buy.

if it looks like it's been through a wood chipper and I'm paying more than $8, I might not even buy it

if it's around $1 or less, who cares?

if there's a massive visible scratch, no-go

>>3937831
Exactly this.

If online, light better reflect off it perfectly.

I played this shit on Mame last year and besides the Quick time events it ran fine.

The game is damn fun.

It's a reskin of Dynamite Deka.
Fun 3D brawler.

>>3937646
one of the greatest beat-em up ever made.

>Sega Saturn console exclusive
But these a port for PS2 tho......

It's an interesting concept, but with many flaws. It gives you a lot of different ways to attack and very cool acrobatic moves—rarely seen in NES game. It also has quite different missions, again unusual for NES games. However, it doesn't *quite* manage to pull all of this off perfectly. The controls can be a pain in the ass very often, while the enemies are incredibly fast and dangerous.
Unfortunately, I'd say the latter killed the game for me. It feels simply unfair sometimes. When you take damage, you lose your precious upgrades, making you way weaker when you're already pretty weak. In some areas I just plain don't know how you can win without abusing the game. It feels like they tried a game too ambitious and made it way too hard. It needed too much fleshing out for such a small game.

>>3937608
Play a real fighting game, scrub.

I hope you have either save states or a strategy guide if you didn't grow up playing it, otherwise be ready for some rage.

GameStop still sells used N64 games?

About 18 months ago they started selling retro again, via online only. /vr/ was raging hard about it when news first broke out.

I bought a copy of perfect dark from them for cheap, no idea if it works because lol no n64

bought a copy of koudelka for way below disc-only price, came almost complete with no manual, bought a complete copy of blue stinger, fear effect 2, and parasite eve 2, got some disc only copies of FFT, black label SH1 and alone in the dark ANN

all in all I got some great deals aside from FFT, but it's really a gamble with gamestop because you don't know if you're gonna get most of a copy of all of a copy or just the disc/cart

I'd buy more games from them if I didn't have to spend over $35 to get free shipping that sometimes outright gives you the wrong tracking code

MAGICAL TRUCK ADVENTURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE

I really like the look of the game, it's just super nice. When it comes to non-retro: The house of the dead EX

the top tier Speed Racer Arcade by game gods Namco

Does Gauntlet Legends count? The console version seems way too vastly different from the arcade game I fell in love with.
