>except for sony
Sony's fifth gen fuck up was using incredibly bad lasers in their disc drives.

>still had its issues

and yeah it was bad but that wasnt a permanent problem, they later fixed it.

Granted I was a kid when I played Saturn I thought it was amazing. Best memory was beating the game D with my mom. Great times I'll never forget it.

"Decent substitutes" is pretty broad but there are no shortage of spinners, dials and trackballs more or less simply compatible with MAME and if that's not decent enough, you can always buy real arcade control components or entire panels (or cabs) and make them work with your emulators. True light guns are a bit trickier for emulation but also doable.

this stuff looks more expensive than I'd expect, from a cursory search

How old? That is, how many years ago do you recall, at the oldest. There are a surprising number of dinosaur (or dinosaur in normal) fighting games.

I'mma go out on a limb and say "Primal rage". Probably not it but who knows.

Characters that I remember:
Dinosaur, a mecha robot, yoyo warrior; 20 years ago

I remember getting Xargon from a dollar store. I think it came bundled with a bunch of other games. Didn't remember liking it very much. But I did like the bundle that had Jazz Jackrabbit and Epic Pinball.

>>3931734
I totally forgot about Jazz the Jackrabbit!!!

Atari probably made more blunders than Sega ever did.

No because arcades died completely outside of Japan and they're at the end of their life over there as well. Some franchises keep arcades alive in Japan, but it's mostly rhythm games. I think Sega's last big thing in arcades (that might still be huge now, Idk) was Border Break released like 10 years ago.
Sega had always moderate success with their consoles, but always had tough rivals. Nintendo and NEC in Japan, home computers in Europe, Nintendo and PC in USA, not to mention the PlayStation, which was the actual reason of Sega's retirement from consoles.

>>3931386
By the way I mean "no" as in Sega isn't remotely close one of the most poorly managed companies, not even close. They were once big, and not many companies can say they were as big as Sega.
The SoJ vs SoA gossip bullshit is irrelevant when actual hard factors like Sony's system and the situation in arcades in Japan forced Sega to cut threads, which resulted in the Sega-Sammy merge.

probably would have been a bit more successful. system failed due to poor handling for years however, not just no sonic.

>>3930670
People still wouldn't have bought them because
- Sega shafted distributors with the early launch, nobody carried Saturns
- Sega shafted its users with the 32x, nobody bought a Saturn because they didn't want yet another console that gets obsolete within a year.

And by 1996 you already had rumours of Saturn getting an expansion to boost its 3d power. So parents just said "fuck this, imma buy a new Nintendo or a PSX".

>>3930678
why is the playstation the only console people actively refer to by its prototype/dev name? No one calls the xbox the direct xbox, the n64 the ultra 64.

Get drunk. Spend all your time in parking lots training and/or setting highscores in arcade and collect the crank machine toys. "This is cool"
Also buy yourself yakuza, its a great series with the same spirit.

don't rush the main quest. you have a ton of time to complete it. talk to NPCs constantly, especially important characters. explore a lot and do everything available to you. there are lots of little events you can miss.

if you really wanna be anal there's guides that'll help you get every journal entry.

There is always things you missed on your first playthrough be items, those scrolls,tomato shop prizes, or events . There are quite some missable events due to tight timed slot, especially when you start working in the harbor.
The 4th disk does tell if you missed some things, like townfolks or some other shit.

Oh, and you can have the real weather from 86 in the 2ndplaythrough

Mario 64, endless stairs

The whole game

This is retarded, play it in your native language if you haven't played it before.

I'm assuming you have a Japanese cart? If you have a gameshark, there's a code that'll display the language in English.

Demon's Crest, the SNES sequel, but the problem with that game is that you can hover infinitely in the air from the start making a lot of the platforming sections too easy. The bosses are a lot harder though.

>>3927120
The sequel, on the NES. Also, GB, but avoid that version.

>>3927416
>Also, GB, but avoid that version.
How big are the differences?
I remember being surprised that GQ2 was also on GB, but I never did a thorough enough playthrough.

>>3926795
seriously

I loved this back in the day, but it's one of those games I'm too afraid to try playing again. It is most likely a lot more unplayable in today's standards than I think it is. I prefer to let my memories remain uncontaminated.

>comfy
>shooter

that's the reason this is one of the most retarded expressions 4channers like to throw at every sentence

I recently discovered the OST of Super Monaco GP (Genesis).

The game itself looks really bad, but listen at that epic music, by the master Tokuhiko Uwabo:

Samurai Shodown's port on Game Boy was not a very good game, but some of the music is amazing.

Ukyo's theme on Game Boy is more ominous, powerful and danceable than in any other version:

They're just lazy hacks making a quick buck. They're not interested in reverse engineering 20 year old Playstation games.

Because their paymasters decided it wasn't worth it. SH HD was a total shitshow, so it's no big loss. But MGS HD was great. But it lacked MGS.

PS games can look absolutely great in motion.
Even back during its heyday, still shots of games showed their jaggies off prominently. You have to see those games in motion to really appreciate them.
