What are some great RPG's for the NES/Famicom that aren't the games listed here:

Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy III
Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem Gaiden
Crystalis

I would have the Dragon Quest games here, but I think the snes Rmemakes of 1,2 and 3 are better than there NES counterparts. I don't really enjoy Final Fantasy II, so it's not here either. So any recommendations?

Anybody remember this Sonic fighting game at the arcades? I never hear it brought up ever when people talk about Sonic games.
I don't know where i'm going with this thread, I just felt like mentioning it.

Scored an Atari 7800 super fucking cheap, because it wouldn't turn on. Got it home, opened it up, and there was a cold solder joint on the main power supply transistor. Hit that, and boom, fixed. Took 15 minutes, tops.

Went to the local used game shop today to get some carts to include in the re-sale, and the guy said that doing an AV mod wasn't too bright anymore because new TV's are HDMI or RF only anymore. No more composite inputs at all. He said I shouldn't bother with doing the mod, as it's a waste of time.

Is the guy trying to blow smoke up my ass, or is this a legit thing? I've seen on eGAY many, many 7800's go for well over $150 with the mod.

So, who is right? Do the mod, or fuck it, sell as is?

Has the trilogy stood the test of time in your opinion?

>Going to Japan with my wife's family.
>Her brother has Third Strike on the PS2
>I have the Dream Cast version.

Which one is better? I've read the Dream Cast port has wonky hit detection, but I never noticed in all my years playing.

Just ended Beneath a Steel Sky and it was meh. I wanted a good story in some post-apo/cyberpunk in dystopian city and I've got walking on upper class district without any climate. Are there any good point & click games in setting like this?

I don't post on /vr/ much, so please excuse me if this is common knowledge; if it is we can just discuss our experiences.

I just wanted to warn you all about aftermarket faceplates and shells for things. Modding your console is very fun, and I recently got into doing it for the PSP (I wanted a retro looking, clear shell; I know the PSP isn't retro but I figure some of you have considered modding older consoles and these will definitely require after market parts).

I didn't skimp out on the price and tried to get a nice looking shell off eBay but it still wouldn't fit properly. On the PSP 1000, the joystick is very pressure and weight sensitive because the contact with the motherboard is a silicon strip, so if things don't fit even the slightest it can and does cause the joystick to drift. It took me a lot of trial and error to realise this, and I even got replacement contacts/joysticks in vain. I ended up just going back to the market shell even though it's a bit rough round the edges/worse for wear from 8 years of use.

I'm very disappointed but at least I came away from it knowing how the guts of the console works and maybe if I feel like shelling out another 30 bucks I can try a different seller.

Have any of you guys ever successfully modded something? I've always wanted to do those flashy LED modifications to things, even if it is just a light.

Please recommend any good and fun puzzle games. I'm not too picky with the console either.

Post games you like from systems you generally dislike or are indifferent to it's library and explain what you like about it. Not to be negative, I still like some N64 games but there's only a select few I enjoy from it. S&P is fun, it's not too difficult but I love it for its cheesy dialogue, pace and fun stages. Fun gameplay as well, i like focusing on shooting targets while moving the character at the same time. Iris!!!! (that's the death sound effect by the way, lol)

Is there an N64 emulator with a crt filter?
