>the games are $70+ each.
Only if you are buying the most popular titles. There are tons of games nobody wants that go for $20 or less. And you can sometimes get in contact with old arcade operators and get tons of PCBs for $5 each.

Is it a money pit? Not really. You can buy a complete supergun for less than $300. That's about the price of a typical video game console. Those aren't considered money pits. It only becomes one if you let it when you start deciding you also need five or six CRTs and adapters for every kind of controller under the sun.

The big questions are:
1. Can you afford it?
2. Does it bring you any joy?

>>4222178
1. i can afford it but i don't want to sink money into it. is the windy supergun the one to get? other recommended makers seem to have stopped making it like jnx.

2. hopefully it'll bring more joy than a modded ps3 with no games to play.

>>4222171
Here's a Supergun for a reasonable price

They're separate but after you beat one you can link it to the other and get new content, and the order doesn't matter

Entirely separate, but play on the same game engine/mechanics.

After you beat one, you get a password to link to the other. Beat the game using the password link, you get the True Final Boss and ending you can't get otherwise

Is there away to do this without 2 gameboys?

Radia Senki, Sweet Home are probably my favourites
Last Armageddon, Sansara Naga, Destiny Of An Emperor, Silva Saga are also underrated
although I'm not a fan, Minelvaton Saga is also kind of similar to Madara
currently playing through Mahjong Taisen, it's addicting enough for me to play it without knowing a word of japanese
favourite ost are from the FF games though

I'll name Mother just to get that one out of the way.

Don't know many other NES RPGs.

Oh, Sweet Home is great. Great combination of RPG mechanics with a survival aspect (if a character dies they stay dead, and there is a limited item inventory). Soundtrack is also great by the composer who did Little Nemo.

>>4222081
>best soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGEzqWGp2WA

Totally. It has nice feel. I liked the tourist-mechanism. Cars have variety and fun specials. The game is not better than Twisted Metal but it'll do.

IIRC it was made by the same guys who made TM1 and 2.

Definitely.

Good sense of humor, lots of destructibles, weapons are fun and the tourist mechanic makes sure that players and AI all try to destroy each other.

Soundtrack is licensed music but it all fits the game easily.

Great game imo.

That's supposed to be Luigi? Looks nothing like him. He is meant to be taller and predominantly green not squat and red like that, that's Mario.

>>4221519
Do you call him Gay Bowser?

I wish I was making this up, but this thing turned me on as a teen

>"Can we have a retro games thread about a subject that has no relation to retro games whatsoever?"

There are numerous boards to post your degenerate shit. No need to bring it here.

>>4221474

It's not like we have an entire board for this kind thing... oh wait, we do.

One of the things that triggers me about this kind of shit is that apparently RGBfags are too fucking stupid to realize that RF, composite, or s-video won't have wildly different colors from RGB provided the inputs have been properly calibrated with SMPTE bars. Yes, RGB looks better because it's sharper and free of crosstalk, but it's not magically going to provide a more saturated image unless your dumb ass skipped a step during setup.

>>4221162
go away cybershell

>>4221162
People don't understand the actual point of those bonus stages. They forgot to take out the "50 rings gives you a continue" thing from the Sonic 1 bonus stage, and use the ring count from the normal game so as long as you have 26 rings or more (the stage has 24 in it) you're guaranteed to get a continue without having to use the stupid slot machine

>>4222751
These things just slow down the gameplay, IMO. No point in amassing continues when Sonic 3 had a save system.

Good to know

>>4221016
It's funny how even the lowest end spec these days has better performance than all that shit, except for the sounds system.

>rear projection TV
no

Pool of Radiance on one end, shit like Neverwinter Nights or Temple of Elemental Evil on the other.

>>4220841
Use a Retron 5

>>4221362
>Temple of Elemental Evil
That sounds good. My main motivation is that we don't have time for tabletop D&D

>so much grief over stupid push over mooks

Git gud, m8

>and they don't miss either.
Bullshit.

>Bullshit, they don't flinch!
Bullshit.

>Firing Uzi at them doesn't seem to stop them from firing at all!
Bullshit.

>Shuriken are useless, and fists don't seem to do any better.
Git gud, bruh.

Or get a source port that isn't full of shit.

>>4220416
I'm using SWP, what source port should I be using?

For me SW always felt very flimsy and overall unaccurate when compared to other Build games. It's really weird. The potential is there and it was a nice idea to have a ninja when you already had an american steroid monster (Duke3D) and a recently deceased man (Blood).

>>4220119

Yes. Yes I do. Often times they're filled with cool art, story and character information and I want to know what Im doing.

>>4220119
Only for some computer and 2600 games.

>>4220119
Yes. I would also always watch in the intro videos before starting a new game, as well.

>>4220114
I am not well versed in these games but I kinda want to be. A while back I made an attempt at playing Pool of Radiance but it was very annoying to get myself situated. Seemed quite grand overall, though. I think I regret not persevering with it.

These Savage Frontier games are easier to get into are they?

>>4222189
In my experience, yes. The two Savage Frontier games have more tame combat encounters and they are a bit shorter than the others. If you play Gateway to the Savage Frontier and still end up frustrated, I'd recommend the Gold Box Companion. It adds automapping to all of the games and implements the fix command (which auto heals and re-memorizes spells in the camp menu) from the later games into the earlier ones. You should have a lot easier of a time getting situated in Pool of Radiance if you use it.

I don't know how I played so many hours of this game considering I remember literally none of the mechanics.
