Aw, you have no idea how much I adore that art. It evokes such a feeling of fun and adventure inside me... And the game lives up to those feelings too!

The time limit sucks balls and just encourages you to minmax

The time limit is irrelevant if you aren't bad at videogames.

I feel that was about 2/Doki Doki.

>>3930890
it's pretty good. i like smw's too. idk which I like more. theyre both great for different reasons.

im not really a fat of modern nintendo art style though. its just gotten way too kiddy now. smb was more trippy than anything else... it really looks like something out of an lsd dream

It's great, unique and distinctive, but I don't think it's necessarily the only good one, or that the other Mario games don't have at least equally merits. I think 2USA, 3 and World all have their own style as well, and each feels like a different take in the Mario universe, which is great (and it's kinda what held back the New series in non-retro times).
I personally like Super Mario World's aesthetics the most (which also inspired SML2 and Wario Land, the later being one of my all time favorite games).
I think I like SMB1 the least if I have to compare it to the other retro Marios, however, I don't think it's not cool and not appealing, because it is, and it's special, but I think so are the other games, and in many ways improved on SMB, simply due to programmers being better at doing graphical enhancements.
SMB1 is cool because it's the least cheery or cute one of the bunch, everything about the game is so industrial, lots of metal blocks everywhere, soil made out of blocks, construction-site objects like the floating platforms, borrowed from Donkey Kong.
It had its dreamy moments (sky bonus stages), but it was mostly very barren and simple, but masterfully done so, it looks good. It's just the one that appeals the least to me.

also post collections if you want to share yours

File: piss.jpg (191KB, 1600x1200px) Image search: [Google]

flea markets, yard/garage/street sales, the occasional visit to gamestop's website or buybacks if I feel like gambling, and the occasional gun show

here's my piss1 collection I guess

I don't get that "full collection" mentality - most games were always crap to earn quick money.
Also lot of great games are JP-only, which means you'll inevitably need to use ebay. Unless you plan to visit japan and shop on otaku markets.

It's simple.
You go out and buy this.

>>3930863
expensivee, I'd have to get real lucky to find that for cheap. It'd probably be easier for me to just learn Japanese

>>3930881
Well the only other way of playing it on a real console then would be to replace the maskrom on that japanese cart with an english one like it's explained here http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/cheaper-super-mario-rpg-cartridge/. That's how I made my NTSC copy of Kirby Super Star.
Of course this requires some parts + tools and actual competence with a soldering iron.

pretty cool

combat is ass though

>>3930426
It's not hard. You can literally kill all the city guards at the start of the game, actually the game manual says you to do so, to get comfortable with controls.
But the game is great

RPG made outside Japan in a nutshell

>save file occasionally deletes itself

Typically when the battery is dying it usually doesn't stop all of a sudden. Sometimes they will still kindof work but not consistently. Sometimes when you boot it up only one save is gone. Replacing the battery should fix this. Also keep in mind that I have had carts that would wipe saves if they don't boot properly so make sure everything is very clean and will load before you try booting it.

>>3929967
okay, the cartridge is actually second hand, so I'm hoping there is no irreparable problem with it. Maybe it needs a clean

>>3929963
I have a DKC2 cartridge with a few problems;
>label sticker is faded
>Looks like I can buy a replacement sticker from retrogamecases, or is there a better alternative?

That's really up to you. Each vendor has their own way of printing labels. Be sure you find out what resolution they print at or find out before hand.

>save file occasionally deletes itself
>I assume this is battery related? Perhaps a simple battery swap will fix this?

It might be the battery or the S-ram finally dying. A battery is the right place to start. I know though that DKC2 is VERY finicky when it gets dirty and some times can trigger a copy protection screen that wipes the saved games.

>cartridge is yellowing
>Is it easy to just by a replacement surrogate cartridge case? Where from? I hear retrobrite makes the plastic brittle or something

Again it's up to you what you want to do. Retrobrite might take a few treatments but if you're getting a new label, it might just be better to get a new case as well and save the labor.

>>3929287
Pretty interesting but its just three episodes with some QTEs occasionally. Its just okay honestly.

Though that's cool to hear it got a new series, it seemed pretty interrsting and had potential as a horror anime.

>>3929287
This game needs a translation bad!

>>3930095
The lack of subtitles makes it impossible. It'd need a dub and boy am I not looking forward to whoever wants to try and do an english Moguro voice.

I built a 4 player mame cabinet and trackball back near 12 years ago when I was 13. Just going off of forums and youtube tutorials. It's super easy to do a simple stick wiring with a usb card. Just read up a lot before you order parts and research as much as you can.

>>3929063
youtube tutorials for building mame cabinets didn't exist in 2005.

>>3928947
I'm fairly sure my Seimitsu LS-32 came with a 4-way restrictor plate. It's a trivial mod, just take it apart, unscrew the 8-way plate, screw it back on in the 4-way position.

Vectorman 2, unless you consider things like SNES SFX chips as a definitive part of the era. I don't.
